Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, but it is only 6°C.
Good to hear Urms' good news.
Yesterday turned out to be a bit of a fiasco, Having had no notification of the the nurse's visit, I phoned the care provider. They had note of her visit, but no time.
I asked the reason for her visit, to be told it was a training visit, to demonstrate how to inject myself. A training visit? I have been injecting biologics for four years!!
The agent asked if I wanted to cancel and I asked what the consequences were, none.
I explained that my treatment had already been put on hold, because the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. I also asked her to pass on my comments to a manager, as there were training issues here. The initial agent a few weeks ago had been unable to deviate from her script and had given me incorrect information.
I was really annoyed that I had wasted so much time.
Five minutes later, I received a call from a nurse, asking if I was expecting a visit today. She explained that unfortunately they were cancelling my visit, due to staff illness.
When I questioned the reason for the visit, she said it was to supervise me injecting myself!
I explained I had been doing it for years. She then floored me by saying that they would have an Epipen ready in case I suffered ANAPHYLAXIS !!
Not exactly encouraging, especially as I had a attack after taking a single R.A tablet a few years ago.
There are no appointments for weeks, so my treatment is delayed yet again!
I could have wept with frustration, because I am really struggling just now.
I decided to phone the hospital help line for some advice, knowing that it can take three days for a response.
To my astonishment, ten minutes later, I received a call from one of the staff. The result, I have a telephone consultation at 9am.
They are a fantastic team, I felt a load had lifted from my shoulders.
As you can imagine, my anxiety levels are through the roof.
Later, we visited the local plant nursery, which has grown to 52 acres, you would need a day to go round it! DH will only buy his begonias there. I treated myself to a new strawberry container, then couldn't find the strawberry plants, the site is huge. 😂
I came back from a meeting with the PP to find DH waiting at the door. We had a damp patch on the kitchen ceiling, the same ceiling which came down last year, due to a leak. 😭
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with life at the moment, to say the least. So unlike me.
Today we are off out to look for a new lightweight, waterproof rain jacket for me, despite the sun shining. On holiday last week, I realised my present one wasn't fit for purpose. It seems to have shrunk! 😂
Thinking of all our friends, who have so much worry and sadness to contend with. My difficulties are nothing compared to some.
Enjoy your day folks.
