Speaking of A&E I took my missus to Bolton A&E at 10:30am this morning as she's still in pain from the fall last week, They said there's at least a six-hour wait so she said there's no point in you staying here all that time go & do the shopping & I'll give you a ring to pick me up when they're done, I packed an overnight bag for her too just in case. She's still in there waiting to be x-ray'd.

To be honest I'd love to get a once over and especially get some decent painkillers but I'm not mobile enough to get myself there and they won't provide transport because its non emergency. Only one neighbour drives (only 4 cottages), they're at work all day and at their daughter's most evenings, ain't paying 25-30 quid each way for a taxi, hospital bus terminus to A&E is a longer walk than I can manage. I'm ok for an hour max after I get up in the morning then the pain kicks in but . . . . at random times during the day the pain disappears then, dunno why, bang, back it comes. No pain sitting or lying down, walking is either fine or agony depended on whether the pain has kicked in again or not. I hate being stuck in the house, I go out just about every day even if its just along to the shops, haven't been out for two weeks |

Just got back in, Eight bloomin' hours it's taken & when I went to pick her up the place was still choc-a-bloc. It's no wonder people aren't keen on going to A&E unless absolute neccessary. The X-ray showed she had fractured her hip but they said it'll heal on it's own & wont need surgery, She saw the social services people & they gave her two new Zimmer frames, one for upstairs & one for downstairs plus a new commode chair. She got lots more painkillers to cope with the pain too. It'll be ping meals for tea, Meatball lasagne & a garlic baguette.
