After all that rambling about the journey,  I forgot to tell you what happened at the hospital. 


The first lady just talked to me to find out what had been happening etc,  then someone else  did an ECG,  followed by another lady doing blood tests.  She left a canula in my arm incase the doc wanted more tests later. 
I was sitting about in the waiting room on and off for hours,  between each test. 

Eventually, round about tea time,  a doc called me in and after prodding and poking my poor tummy,  he said he didn't think it was appendix .    He reckoned it was an diverticular flare up, and  the previous antibiotics I had been given the week before by my surgery, weren't the right ones, ( ) and he wanted me to have a different one to kill the inflammation.

He then wrote a prescription and sent me along to their pharmacy,  where I sat till nearly 8 pm tonight  until it was  done.    I was almost nodding off by then,  but a voice woke me up and it was my son and d.i.l.  arrived to  take me home.
I've got to try these different meds for 3-4 days and if still in pain,  go back and tell my GP.

I am so, so pleased to be home with my pooches again.  They went loopy when I walked in, bless 'em.     Fingers cross these different tablets do the job ey.

Thank you folks for your kind thoughts and good wishes,  much appreciated.  x x

Just to let you  know I am home again.   
I climbed out the loo window,  slid down the drainpipe outside, and legged it.

I am being silly of course,  because I am so happy to be home again. 

It was a bit of a nightmare trying to get there,  because as I said earlier,  the ambulance didn't turn up last night, and when they rang me to apologise, I said they might as well leave it till this morning.  (I didn't want to leave my dogs overnight on their own).

Well this morning came and went,  and guess what . . . . no ambulance again!!
I tried ringing them several times, but no luck.
In the end they rang me back about lunch time and apologised once more.   They said they were so busy with people needing ambulances and still hadn't got to me.

Then she said something that really surprised me.   She offered to send a taxi, would you believe!
I asked how much that would cost, and was told 'Nothing',  it will be paid for by the NHS.
Can you believe it??   I was both very surprised, and very grateful.  I had no idea they could do that.

Another 2 and half hours passed,  then the car finally turned up.   He had come all the way from the
somewhere between Leicester and Burton on Trent.   Crikey!   He said his firm have a contract with the NHS.
A very nice chatty, friendly chap he was,  and eventually got me there safely,  albeit nearly 24 hrs later  than my GP planned.

Grrrrhhhh...

And she will be provided with accommodation .. heating.. food..
Write a book.. Followed by a film.. plus loads of interviews..

All my love to you Mups..

I used to regularly go to watch banger racing at a couple of dubious tracks. A couple cars used to stand out Rover P6 2000s were fast but the "Sweeney" model Granadas were robust as hell. They could take and dish out one hell of a beating. The thing that always amused me was that those bangers were all MOT failures usually in those days on the grounds that they were so corroded that they were unsafe on the road. Those bangers made that look like complete BS.

My son bought an old Triumph Dolomite that had been a "star" in Ashes to Ashes with its claim to fame being Gene Hunt had to drive it as his Quattro was out of action and made some comment about it being a heap of shit. It still is as although #1 son is still full of good intentions about the restoration it still hasn't happened and it is slowly rusting away at his mates garage. it will probably be part of my grand daughter's legacy.

I had an accident in a Ford Granada on black ice.  My ex was asleep in the front totally pixxed, his head pushed out the windscreen and he didn't feel a thing     They were big sturdy cars weren't they ? fortunately for me.

  

No she won't ( unless Rupert Lowe gets into power ) but this is unlikely he doesn't have enough people .

Reform will get in people are fed up with the res5 of them .

Yes Shamina will get in we take in all the dross.

It appears Miss Begum is attempting to get into Turkey and then make her way to the UK.  She will pay people smugglers to get her on a dinghy to England.    To be honest, I don't know why she hasn't thought of this before    If she makes it she won't be deported will she  ?
