Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

Hi folks. The visitors have gone home. It's been lovely having a full house again. Charlotte's boyfriend stayed for most of the weekend so Sunday dinner for 6. Very little alcohol was drunk due to one pregnant lady, one trying to be pregnant lady, and one trying to be in the best shape he can for restarting his treatment. It was up to me , Mr F and Charlotte's boyfriend to drink the real stuff while they were on Nosecco and alcohol free beer. I can feel an early night coming on!
Good to see Everton donating all the food from yesterday to community groups.

Sounds like a lovely family day x

Had to take my wife to hospital earlier Sunday. She’s had a mucus type cough which somehow combined with the Alzheimer’s and seriously affected her ability to breathe and her movement. Anyway the ambulance was going to be hours so I drove her in. The medical team did a great job of identifying a chest infection which will keep her in while they perform more tests and get her started on antibiotics. She’s in the best place and they put her right next to the nurses station to keep a close eye on her. The medical team that came to my car to look at her before they took her inside did a great job as did the Clinical Diagnosis Unit in sorting her out. This was completely different to the officious main receptionist who wanted me to take her to another hospital about 30 minutes away before I made it plain and she realised I was going nowhere until a doctor saw my wife, amazingly within 1 minute that medical team of about 8 were stood next to my car and everything burst into action. Anyway I shall be out again tomorrow with grateful thank you’s to everyone involved, even the receptionist who was obviously just doing her job……..,

Oh what a trauma for you both and I’m sure she’ll be on the mend soon. Take the opportunity to catch up on some sleep if you can.

Morning, an early start for me, catching a flight down to Manchester and then on to Bangor for my cousin’s funeral tomorrow. I must admit these winter journeys, flights , hiring a car driving in unfamiliar areas etc cause me a wee bit of apprehension these days. It’s an age thing I guess.

Best of luck to Mrs P.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery but perhaps you can look up on her stay in hospital as respite care and get some R&R yourself

Lovely day for a drive along the Welsh coast even if the occasion is a bit sad. Should take you about 2 hours bl
