I’ve been tied up in knots over the last couple of days over the various medicines T now requires. Or, more specifically, those required to deal with bleeds aka haemorrhages. I suspect Monday’s incident might have been a warning, as it was suggested I try and acquire the newly added medicines before the weekend. Which I spectacularly failed to do. More on that later.
The night passed nicely and I finally awoke around 07.00. T didn’t seem terribly interested in presenting himself at Daycare, but we made it eventually. And H and I took off to Pangbourne. .
We arrived at the same time as a group of hardy open water swimmers. Hardy? Because there was a chilly breeze ruffling the surface of the water. But the sun was shining, and once I moved from the shady spot I had so foolishly chosen, it seemed quite warm.
H and I had a love in on the log and after awhile we returned to the car.
Back home meant sorting various chores, including the ones I should have done earlier. And there were plenty get on with, before leaving to meet T. And I even managed to prop my eyes open.
He seemed to have had a good day at Daycare.
We returned for a little rest and maybe a snooze. But I was soon disturbed.
mistake I can’t get rid of!
I received a message from Nurse Katie who had been trying to sort these emergency meds with the doc. She suggested I collect the medicines today. But I have not succeeded- some meds are not on routinely ordered so require obtaining from elsewhere. Just what I need a pharmacy trail whether by phone or on foot. I will try the BIG BOOTS in Newbury tomorrow as a trip there is planned.
Just when you need things to go smoothly, they don’t! The Gas people are at it again, helpfully closing Streatley High Street off until 2/10. Great timing! How are we supposed to get to the surgery for our flu/Covid jabs? They have a clinic tomorrow morning. Another 20 mile detour…by the time we have been there and back again. We can’t walk it. T is not up to it and it would take me too long to push him.
Silly me for saying / thinking that travelling to places around here is much more straightforward than when we lived in Newbury.
I spent some while playing with the newly received meds. I created a shiny, new, large plastic box of all T’s emergency stuff, most of which I have no clue as to administration. But hey, another Nurse will visit on Friday. Perhaps she will enlighten me.
Tina also flies in on Friday.
The night passed with dreams of sorting out medication. I didn’t have enough for everyone and I got in a panic! But then i only needed enough for the two of us. But I was awake before I realised that.
