Well, I don't want a couple of days like I've just had. Got the doctor to come out to me yesterday to check my legs, he decided he wanted me in hospital where he said they would put me on a drip to pump out the excess fluid and sort out my blood pressure and I'd be in for a couple of days, asked me if I could sort out a lift which I did and he said he would sort out the documents and they would get them before I got there.
Doing it that way would mean I'd go in quicker without all the waiting around in A&E. After getting there in the early afternoon I was stuck for several hours in A&E and they never received any paper work from the surgery. They took a couple of blood samples and sent me for a chest x-ray then after another wait told me I could go home, they said the blood samples where fine and they weren't that worried about my blood pressure but I was to stop taking the pills that were for that and they gave me water tablets.
I asked how I was going to get home and was told they were sorting that out and in the end decided to send me home in a taxi which the hospital would pay for but it would be about 40 minutes before it was there. Taxi came and I was off only to arrive home about midnight and not about to get in as it appeared the handle to the door finally gave up the ghost and the door couldn't be opened. I started to phone Kelly to see if they could come and get me but the taxi driver said he would take me to them. Spent the night there and when they bought me home this morning we got a locksmith out who it turned out to be a friend of Peter's.
He managed to get me back in but said that you couldn't get the handles anymore because they were so old and you had to buy the whole lock unit, they were the most expensive ones around. I had to phone my landlord and he told me to get back onto the locksmith and get the job done. I gave the locksmith my landlords number so they could sort it out and he came round to check up and make sure he ordered the correct things, the landlord had just told him to get on within and put a new lock in. It should hopefully be sorted out by the weekend.
I'm famished because I got nothing to eat apart from a very tough ham sandwich and a small cup of warm coffee all day.
I'm now going to get my dinner done and hope to fill my poor empty belly.
my mother in law had problems with hers and was advised to keep them raised when either sitting or lying down, this helps to drain the fluid off.
Han liked it though.
