Well, now, I have just telephoned the taxi company, because yesterday I left my handbag in the taxi which took us to a friends for a lovely afternoon cake and tea with other friends.(Taxi delivering later) Spoilt the afternoon, really, but set the seal on what has been a rather disrupting time for us. The o.h. finally agrees he cannot drive any more - he had only heard what he wanted to from the optician/specialist, so I stopped arguing and let him get on with it, he tried to move the car out of the garage and failed - GOOD - at least he will not drive anymore. Not good for me, as I do not drive, and although I like to walk, don't always feel like it. We seem to have spent all week in taxis or dial-a-rides as we visited the hospital and he also got a decision on what we suspected confirmed, he has the onset of Parkinson's Disease, so not a lot to look forward to, but my goodness the presence of friends yesterday afternoon, and good old chat really did seem to pick him up. We have had so many years of happiness, so hopefully will have that for the future, when we also have an appointment for him for next June!
