Not having heard from the hospital re appointment due last SeptemberI phoned again today .
Got an appt for February.
Had phoned a couple of months back but they had a backlog and in November were still struggling with June and July appointments .
Can book transport if necessary,but if son is well he will take me.
Lady who has just lost her son called today
She is so lonely but her daughters do seem to be rallying round ,some help from Social Services, and Bury’s Society for blind and partially sighted people
I offered to add what she wants to my online shopping list but she could not quite grasp it,it must be hard, if you don’t see well ,it is surprising how your brain seems to slow down..
I mentioned about some sheltered housing in Ramsbottom ,she seemed interested so her daughter will call to speak to me ,not that I know much but do know friends who took the plunge and do not regret it.
I ought to be thinking along those lines myself.
Another friend phoned to say her husband had died, sadly far advanced in Alzheimer’s ,so no longer recognised her.
What a shame.
A sad start to the week.
Just on the news- “If you can’t speak English ask for a translator!-“ Notice at a vaccination centre!
At the bottom of my fuel bill in teeny tiny print half the size of this :-
“If you want this in Braille “—-
Honestly , lip service .
Still not got any masks despite having a collection code.
Another paper exercise.
Well Last of the Summer Wine ,is on.So a good laugh is guaranteed.
Cheerio folks.
Viktoria.
