Good morning Mick and all from a cool and cloudy Glasgow.
I have no plans for today, perhaps a little one handed, pottering in the garden, if I feel up to it. My heart is quite unstable at the moment, leaving me breathless and exhausted.
After receiving a number of injections in my hand yesterday, I couldn't move my fingers at all and the pain was excruciating. I knew this was normal, but it has never been as painful before. This made undressing and having a bath, very problematic, to say the least. DH, in his own wee world, was oblivious to my plight. 
Try not to visualise the situation I am going to describe. 
I was stuck, half undressed in the bathroom and DH did not hear my cries of distress. I was almost at the point of cutting myself out of my underwear! Neither did he hear my cries for help, when I couldn't get out of the bath! Why did you not call for help?, he asked. ? Why don't you get a bl***y hearing test?, I retorted!
It was a very fruitful visit, as it was my new RA consultant himself, who did it. I had never met him, because he had been seconded to Covid ICU, since he was appointed at the beginning of the pandemic. He is very different from my consultant of the last thirty years. I feel I'm too set in my ways to ^ break in^ a new one! ?
The appointment did give me the chance to have a good chat and sort the blood tests out. They were in fact three months overdue! He advised me that GPs won't to them, as they are not contracted to do so for that treatment, they must be done in hospital. Therefore, another hospital appointment is in the pipeline.
My consultant told me that he had been in London last week, finding it quite scary and worrying, seeing so many people unmasked. As numbers are rising again, he feels people should still be wearing masks in certain venues, as we still do here in Scotland.
Speaking of masks, yesterday I popped into Morrison's early for a quick shop. As I was sanitising my trolley, I spotted a masked man staring at me. I found it a bit unnerving to say the least! As he approached me, I began to get quite nervous. He was standing right beside me and I still didn't recognise my own SIL! ?
He had come out to avoid DD, who working from home, was having a very stressful day! ?
DH has just come back from getting the papers, there are none to be had anywhere in our wee town. He met a neighbour, who says there is no milk either, so DH offered our milk!!!! That was very kind of him, but what does he think we will drink?
Hoping to hear some news from Scentia.
Wishing you all a pleasant day, whatever your plans. Keeping all those who have to carry that unbearable burden of pain and sorry in my thoughts. ?
