purplesea Posted April 18, 2023 #44905 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Morning everyone, hope you're all well. Looks like being another bright sunny day down here. Thank you all for your concern, re my dilemma! After several phone calls yesterday I finally spoke to my consultant's secretary and she is going to bring it to the attention of the consultant and also the oncologist's secretary. If I haven't heard any more by the end of this week, I'll chase it up again. I'm meeting a friend for coffee this morning and this afternoon I intend to have a sewing session. Trying to keep busy. Have a good day whatever you have planned. Pam 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know as a patient we feel hesitant to chase things up, but it is actually important that we take quite a proactive approach (I'm a kidney disease patient). Consultants, nurses etc.. actually like it when you do, as they themselves would do exactly the same. I know it can take a while sometimes to get through to the people you need to talk to or get an answer, and it can feel tedious and tiring, but just keep going at it! Enjoy your coffee this morning and your sewing this afternoon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you hear something soon from your consulant or oncologist, there is nothing worse than waiting with health issues. Enjoy your coffee with your friend and your sewing session. I had a bit of a sweing session last evening altering a dress that was too long, one of the trials of being a short person.

yorkshirephil Posted April 18, 2023 #44913 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I managed to use my bus pass for the first time today, and not on a bus. Iceland have 10% off on Tuesday for old fogies. Show your club card and bus pass and away you go. Us Yorkshire men like a bargain. Nice day here too, bit parky out of the sun but warm enough to sit out this afternoon. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted April 18, 2023 #44914 Share Posted April 18, 2023 @purplesea Hi Pam. I hope you had a good coffee morning and sewing session this afternoon. I'm so pleased you've managed to get through to the right people and I sincerely hope they are quick to respond to you. You're right to keep chasing though if they're not prompt. More hugs.

Iceland sounds a long way to pick up the groceries and then there's the cost of excess baggage on the plane home and the cost of airport parking! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane xxx I have a physio appointment tomorrow. I phoned the hospital last week because I got a text saying they would be in touch soon after 2 doctor's referrals over several months. I spoke to a supervisor last week who checked and said there had been a mistake and she got me an appointment 7 day's later. Graham x 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted April 19, 2023 #44920 Share Posted April 19, 2023 We've arrived home from a truly fantastic escape to the Western Highlands in Scotland I'm sure many of you have visited them If not then I highly recommend Without doubt IMO the most breathtaking scenery in UK. Mountains, gorges, locks, beaches all together!! And speaking to other tourists there they rated the scenery as good as anywhere in the world. Some well traveled US tourists said only New Zealand had been comparable in their opinion And although it's a long drive (it took us 8.5 hrs from Derbyshire) it's one of the best places we have ever visited and we will be back as we only scratched the surface!! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like these big camper vans or rather I dislike the drivers who haven’t got a clue how to drive on a single track road and use passing places. They were out in their droves last week. The weather also catches them out. We came back from the islands on Friday leaving in brilliant sunshine then travelling through blinding snow a couple of hours later. It happens. The Green Welly was jammed with folks who aren’t used to driving in snow on small roads. A few hours later brilliant sunshine again. The last couple of days have been lovely weather wise. A great start to spring. The current keeper of the battle bus can’t even drive as yet. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted April 19, 2023 #44925 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Quite a pleasant day here. I went out early to do some local election leafleting, so I have exceeded 16000 steps already. I had an interesting house where I couldn't find a letterbox in the door nor one attached to the wall, I am still trying to think how they get their mail or is it just a good way to avoid unwanted leaflets and bills. I have hust been to the opticians, I was pleasantly surprised when they told me they total cost because it is actually cheaper than the last year. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
