Honey on Weetabix rocks my world
Wednesday was my outpatients appointment…..They have a good system in Ward 26 in Heartlands, Birmingham, where you stay in one room and the doctors and specialists come to you rather than the other way round…It actually seems to work!
Unfortunately there is no disabled parking anywhere near the ward though so I was exhausted by the time I had walked across the hospital grounds to the appointment…making any tests they do inaccurate.
My blowing tests were actually up and everything else was stable…which was better than I thought…..I only had one form of infection in my sputum too…(Who was the ‘pleasant’ job of testing this stuff?) But the results are always a couple of weeks, or longer, old of course….
All the dieticians were off sick…I think it must have been something they ate! They are all so thin…When I was in hospital one of them asked me if I wanted some snacks….I said yes and she gave me a bag of crisps and chocolates… This is a dietician!!! I am not thin I am 85kg. I am bulky!
I also have CF-related diabetes….This differs from the normal kind in that I don’t have to modify my diet…I can still have sugar in my tea and honey on my Weetabix! Have you ever tried honey on Weetabix….lovely! But still…how sugary are those snacks?
If I am still ‘untransplanted’ in May they (doctor-types) will put me on a course of antibiotics (IVs aaaagh)…..
We got a letter to say Staffordshire General Hospital are looking into the complaints we made against them and are launching an inquiry…. Watch this space! This will be electric. If only I was still working of the Express and Star..
Talking of which I put an article in the Mercury this week about a well-known villager who died recently…and the family rang me up to thank me….
It’s more thanks than the Mercury have ever given me….ungrateful gits! I always used to tip them off first with stories, but I never got thanks…even when they were used on the front page.
Mr T is doing our electrics….Its not Mr T from ‘The A Team’ but a friend whose surname starts with T…I don’t really like putting people’s names on the net….and this afternoon the elecrics were off so mum and I went into Lichfield. BUT how funny would it be if it was Mr T?!!!
I was having a tough afternoon lung-wise so bought the NME and sat in a lovely café drinking ginger tea and watching the world and his wife go by….
I went to a health food shop – yes I get the irony of someone in my condition going into a health food shop! – and bought some nuts and a fruit bar….I got served by a girl with a lovely smile….that kind of this can make one’s day eh? Those of you who know Lichfield know the place and the girl!
So Charles and Camille announced they are to marry….Not many people cheat on their wife for an older woman….So I suppose he must be in love with the old goat!
Watched the NME Awards on TV then worked out Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ on the piano…..I realised I had most of the music that won….I normally pride myself on NOT having it! Is my taste mellowing or the UK’s taste getting more like mine…
Still Robbie Williams winning the best song I the last 25 years is a travesty! I know he is a Staffordshire lad but please……
