Today has been a super stressful and exhausting day. Left home at 7.00 am. Arrived at hospital - no bed for OH. I hour later bed found and was told he must be observed for 4 hours after the procedure which was scheduled for 10.00 am. Left him in the scan dept and trotted off into the nearest town to shop with 4.5 hours to kill. Started to snow heavily - freezing cold. Turkey broth and fruit scone for lunch - still snowing and lost one of my leather gloves somewhere. Arrived back at hospital to find no parking spaces available and the car park is miles from the entrance. Feet like blocks of ice, coat and hair wet and 30 minutes early. Lift up to ward (couldn't face the stairs)to find they hadn't been able to do the biopsy. Consultant came to see us after another hour wait. They are going to operate to get the tissue sample but we have to go to an Edinburgh chap for that. He's coming to the Borders tomorrow and will see us there. They will ring this evening with time and ward. He can't have any treatment until tissue sample is analysed. Left him at the entrance and went and picked the car up and finally set off for home. Still snowing, not settling, just slush and wet. Arrived home crumpled and still damp 10 hrs after we set off. Uggh! and to top it all, we get to do it all again tomorrow
On the bright side, when we got home there was much less snow here and I prepared dinner before we left and only had to heat it up. Bought OH a sweater to wear at Christmas in the sale while I was out. Half price and then halved again. Super bargain. I'm absolutely shattered and its almost bedtime and no phone call! I'm fighting the munchies tonight -I can hear the ice cream and cookies calling from the kitchen. OH has stem ginger and rhubard cookies that are scrummy (sounds reasonably healthy doesn't it)but there's 180 calories in each one and one is never enough. I don't usually touchthem.......I must be strong!
Hope you all have a good day
