Good morning from a chilly but peaceful Torbay.
Earlier this week, I had a call from one of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Team to check on my progress after two weeks. Expecting to be offered some kind of follow up support/exercise class organised by them, I was disappointed to be told they don't run them any more. They will send a video link. ☹️ When I explained what my exercise class teacher offered and that I could take it gently and be seated, the response was an emphatic "No!' until after my 12 week follow up appointment with the surgeon in late January! I had been looking forward to seeing them all and participating, albeit in a very low-key fashion.
They've also said I can't go abroad so our plans for Christmas in France have been cancelled. As we needed to secure a hotel and ferry booking with it being so near Christmas, I had already booked both but on a flexible ticket. DH will go over in my car for a few days to fulfil necessary medical commitments and return with some French Christmas treats, mostly liquid!
Changing the Travelodge booking was easily and freely achieved online. Brittany Ferries was another matter (French websites….!), entailing a lengthy phone call and some expenditure. Having explained our predicament and that DH would travel alone to Caen on the 13th December due to my restrictions, the following classic dialogue ensued:-
Me: He would like to return to Portsmouth on the afternoon of the 18th.
BF: So that’s for two people returning on the 18th?
Me: ………. well, no…….. if I’m not going over, I shan’t be coming back!
I should add that I was speaking to a British BF employee based in Plymouth.
Sounds like a super day out, BlueSapphire. Enjoy! The shepherds look great, grandMattie!
Happy weekend, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
