Posted on 16/08/2024 18:08 by DEBSCLeft for Gdaughters hospital appointment at 11.30, just got home! Good job I thought to make sandwiches. Long wait for results in A&E after the MRI. A&E packed, lots of holidaymakers. We did stop to collect her and then took her home. Hand not broken but Dr said it’s damaged and may take a while to heal, but at least not broken. Just getting into the car at the hospital to leave and got a phone call to say that her sister had been taken very unwell at work. She is now resting at home. Got home to find the kitchen sink pipes have leaked water into the cupboards. OH now trying to fix but probably plumber tomorrow. One of those days.
Poor old chap in A&E in pyjamas, said he’d been there most of the day, sent from another small local hospital. We got him a drink of water as he said he was parched, didn’t seem to be able to get out of the hospital wheelchair, not sure that he had eaten all day, didn’t like to offer to get him anything in case not right, or he might need an op. We sat and chatted to him, Granddaughter engaged with him and made him laugh a bit. All staff looked busy but didn’t seem right that he was just left alone. Life can be rather sad.

Good for you DEBSC. Poor fella, hospital is bad enough but awful if you are alone. You sound like us, we pack for a couple of days if going to A&E. Phones, top up batteries, a book, headphones, food, drink, etc… You do seem to have some awfully unlucky days.
Hope your little tour goes well WN. Weather still nice over here, if a tad cooler. Didn’t stop us having a dip though🤣

There is a relatively new prison in Wrexham and OH heard one of the nurses mention that prisoner "visits" accompanied by officers is a regular occurrence, usually resulting in being unable to find anything wrong. They like a change of scenery you see. Of course the medics at the prison can't risk an undiagnosed real problem getting worse.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. Weather looks good for vast majority of UK.

We saw a couple of prisoners and their officers when we went to A&E about my eye a few weeks ago WN.They all seemed very jovial. Presumably they were enjoying the outing. Enjoy your weekend away.
Good for you DEBSC helping that poor old gentleman. I hope he got seen and sorted eventually. I hope your grand-daughter's hand gets less painful soon.
Lovely weather today - lots of sun but not that dreadful heat we had at the beginning of the week. We are also promised a cooler night so I am looking forward to a better nights sleep.

Glad to read that your granddaughter's hand is not broken Debs. Hope that it doesn't take too long to heal
WN, Enjoy yor weekend away. Where to this time?
Today has been much drier with plenty of sunshine, but not over hot. We had a drive around the local villages Murton then Dufton, where we had a walk along part of the Pennine Way but had to do a detour due to the path being blocked by a herd of your bullocks, not the best critters to meet with a dog in tow. After lunch in the village a couple of short walks around the village itself and then the parish chuch, St Cuthberts, before returning to the van via Knock. The photos are of the church and a statue of perhaps Will Shakespear but most likely John Wesley, as it on the the side of a former Methodist Chapel.
