T-Bird Anni Rides Again

I can now report that it wasn’t an MI but "only" stress.  He’s been discharged but told to take it easy for the week and not go back to work til Monday at the absolute earliest (but I’m hoping his Dr will sign him off for longer than that!!!  He is treated like dirt where he works and it’s about time they learned to treat him better.)  He does have to go back though for a stress ECG as this is being considered to be a warning shot across the bows as to what he can expect for real if he carries on as he is now.  He also has to go for a doppler on his leg as one is significantly chunkier at the calf than the other although both he adn Lola are sure this is due to the extensive physio he had on that leg post operatively (15 years ago???) as opposed to the other leg which didn’t get such a rigourous work out.

I am releived beyond what I have words to express adn am hoping that this will be the wake up call to start taking better care of himself. 

I stumbled on this from a link at another blog (you know, one of those "i need a few moments distraction before I throw this essay out of the window" moments)  and after I’d finished wobbling my way through it I thought I’d better blog it to refer back to…..  I need lots of reminders like this.

you know, I think I’ve used that title once or twice before….

Right, am Aprilia-free for about 2 hours (maybe more if she cheers up - she went off with my dad looking like she was being taken to Death Row… I nearly said don’t go but then I decided that it’s not polite to have a hair cut booked and refuse to go at the last moment because the hair dresser doesn’t brush your hair as gently as I do….)

well, it’s 4:30 and she ain’t back yet so either she’s under the patio at Grandpa’s or she perked up A LOT!

So today I need to

Collate all the scrawled notes I made at camp about the next TMA and see if they make something that looks like an essay.   Well, I called it an essay when I hit 1950 words adn sent it before I was tempted to faff about and "improve" on it.  In fairness once I’d got going it wasn’t as hard as I though which just serves me right for taking any notice of the peeps on the forum who were all wailing how impossible it was.

Write detailed and phtographically supported feedback for our delightfully attentive campsite staff.

Fill in paperwork for the speed camera notice so that my up til now beutifully un-sullied licence can havae 3 points put on it and I can be fined £60 for driving 5mph over the limit in a 2 mile section  that is 40mph in an otherwise 70mph  dual carriage way.  The camera is hidden behind something too just to make it easier to generate a bit of revenue.

Finish the test pair of child size muffatees which if htey work will be Aprilia’s then run up SB’s hopefully in yarn to match her sox.  (incidentally Helen, I’ve found your address again…. really should sort out the filing sytem at some point) 

Phone CCU and see how Harley is (and if he has driven the staff nutz yet by not being a good boy and staying on bed rest…)

Bake cake for Lola in a gesture of "I know you don’t look like you give a **** that your DH is in CCU but I’m sure you do really so here’s something to cheer you up" 

Looks liek the rest will have to be carried over til tomorow as my brain is now the consistancy of porridge.
