WhatsApp has been a boon for chatting to each other but I have still managed to see her every day so far. The hospital is about 20 minutes away down some fast roads. Not reachable by bus but our daughter has been driving it up until yesterday. She has left now but our son is here for almost another two weeks and he will drive it. I can (and have) driven it but they see it as their place to take over the care of both of us. They both live abroad but have come here especially to do this.
Much of their work is Internet-based, so they can still carry on with it while they are here.
I’ve just got the one daughter Mart, and she lives just ten miles away…And used to be a carer in a nursing home, just like her mum…It’s a win, win, situation for me…
Not sure about having a bed bath off either of them though…
There are another two. They live locally and they will check up on me every day when this one goes back to Germany …just to make sure I haven’t pegged it while unattended.
An early appointment at the hospital. I will be given an injection at the Department of Nuclear Medicine at 9.20 a.m. Then go home for three hours while it circulates throughout the body. Back in the hospital for 12.30 p.m. to have a whole body bone scan.
Back home after the nuclear injection. I have to be back by 12.20 p.m. for the bone scan. The most painful part is paying £4.00 for the car park …which I will have to do twice because the first and second half of the procedure are hours apart.
When I’ve had this procedure in the summer, me and Mrs mart would go to and from the hospital on the bus and spend a pleasant few hours on the Green (just across the road from the hospital) in between the first and second half. I think it would be not an option for our son and me today though.
