This time last year

... i was barely able to get out of bed *lol*

On Thursday I'll be driving to the inlaws for Christmas festivities. Sad to be leaving the cat (aw) but glad to be up and at 'em. Shame I've bought no presents yet!!

Longest gap ever!

Went to clinic yesterday for the first time in a month! Was listening to people while waiting who are much further back in the game than I am, was weird to hear. Also got fed up with some oldish guy who was just constantly moaning that everything takes too long. Well, yeah, it does, but whinging and sucking your teeth at people isn't going to make it go faster and just makes the experience more stressful and miserable for everyone else *sigh*. Wanted to tell him to STFU but decided against it.

They've also put in big flat scren tellys for people to stare at while they're waiting, with the sound turned down to a whisper and subtitles on instead. At least it was showing BBC News rather than Sky!

I was quite glad to be there, actually. Good to catch up with the docs and nurses and wished everyone a very happy Christmas as I won't be back there now until Jan 6th.

That's FIVE WHOLE WEEKS!!!

I don't think I've gone that long without a visit to a hospital in, oooh, three and a half years?!? Certainly since I destroyed my knee after that fateful Cat Empire gig in Shepherds Bush. Feels very good indeed.

Off to California next weekend for work. On reflection, probably should have told the hospital that but I'm sure it'll be fine. Just need to remember to take enough drugs with me!
