TODAY

This morning I had an appointment at my G.P.'s surgery for a Spirometry test.  I was referred for my test in January and, of course, Covid 19 has delayed everything.  I was not looking forward to it as, when she made the referral, my G.P. said it would feel as thought my lungs were going to explode.  We also had the car booked in to the garage for a check of the brakes as Doug felt there was a problem. 

As we were getting ready to go out Doug had a phone call from the Hospital offering him an appointment with the specialist today at 1.30 p.m. about his Hernia as it has been "popping" out rather too regularly lately - (twice in the past week) I phoned them on Monday but we were not expecting to hear back straight away.    

So we dropped the car at the garage this morning - then Doug dropped me off for my appointment and went to do a supermarket shop while I had the test.  My test went very well.  It was arranged as something showed in an x-ray I had previously but my lungs are slightly above average for my age, weight, height etc. so that is all good.

We returned home and I cooked up a batch of mince that Doug had bought (or rather vegie stew with a little mince) and we had it for lunch before heading to the Hospital.  Getting the operation all depends on "points" and Doug's meant that he would normally get the operation in a couple of months but because of Covid 19 that will extend to about 6 weeks or more.  

We then went to pick up the car and the mechanic told us he could not find a problem and there was no charge.  How good is that?

Another day has gone by with nothing ticked off my "to do list".  Still some other things were achieved.  Hopefully, tomorrow I will get some jobs on my list done.

    1. Yes, I was going to shop after the test but Doug doing it saved some time and there was not much of that to spare.

  3. Sounds like a very productive day, even if nothing was crossed off your to-do list :)

    1. Unfortunately, most days seems to be like that. Hopefully, I will get some things done tomorrow although with the weather forecast I most likely won't feel like it.
