Today was not the day I had been expecting, Richie got me up very early and had me showered and dressed and in the wheelchair by 09.10.
The mobility bus phoned at 09.13 that he was on his way; he arrived at 09.25 as Richie was struggling to get my fleece jacket, winter jacket and leg protector/leg bag on, we said we will be downstairs in 5 minutes..
Just as he had done it, the mobility bus drove off at 09.30 and without calling us otherwise I would have said we were just coming down.
Tried to organise another mobility bus but they could only send one at 10.30 which was the time of my appointment.
So it stopped there for today, now I have a new hospital appointment for next week Thursday at 11 am.
We have both been a touch shattered by this morning’s mobility bus drama, hopefully next week I will actually get there.
Feel very tired now and so is Richie, expect it was all the adrenaline for the appointment this morning.
One good thing was that despite the shock and disappointment of this morning I did not get angry and waste any energy on getting upset.
Much better to do what I did which was not let it get to me too much and drain my energy, it was better to keep cool.
