We’d particularly arranged to get together today because the forecast was for ‘sunshine’ all day – and so it proved! It was lovely to catch up… zoom meet-ups are fine, but nothing like the real thing!
I was supposed to have a telephone appointment with my ‘lung’ consultant at 1.20pm… but he ended up ringing me at 11.15am instead! His opening question was “when did you last have a lung test?”… to which I replied: “last Thursday… and if you haven’t seen the result yet, then this phonecall is a complete waste of time!”. Magically, he managed to find them… everything seemed fine (pulse rate ‘raised’ in the walking test – but I didn’t find this surprising as I’d previously been told to walk as far as I could in 6 minutes!). Anyway, he wants me to take a CT scan (on the basis that my last one was in 2017) and to see me face-to-face… so an appointment within the next 6 months.
I also had a dental appointment in the afternoon – which was fine (tooth extracted and extended ‘plate’ provided)… all done pretty efficiently.
Read more of my excellent ‘Pastoral’ book.
