Wednesday

I have had a very busy day today. It started with a phone call from Heather and then I had to rush off to meet Jon at the hospital for his pre op assessment.

The assessment went well but the nurse did comment that his blood pressure was really high which is very unusual for him as he tends to be on the low side. We put it down to a stressful morning that he had had at the office.

We discussed the date of the surgery with the nurse and it was decided to go ahead and book our trip to Japan to meet up with Heather and the surgery will be mid November so hopefully he will be well for out trip at Christmas!!

We then had to wait for the doctor to check him over and that took a long time. While we were waiting Wendy, who worked with him at Genera, came in and said hello as she walked past but we ignored her. A very two faced woman who was all over me and crying when Jon was diagnosed but was one of the first to stick the knife in. I have no time for people like her and they are best ignored.

Once seen by the doctor who looked like a schoolgirl and was a size 6!!!! we were free to go so we went and had a coffee. We met another Genera worker in reception but this time a nice guy and we had a chat to him before eventually going in for our coffee.

Jon went back to the office and I went home and did a few bits around the house.

I left to meet up with some of the Lions ladies for afternoon tea at the place we hold our meetings as it was their tenth anniversary. However, once inside there was only a group of women playing cards and no afternoon tea. Patsy had got the date wrong!! The three of us who did make it went to have tea in a local café. I can feel a fine coming on for Patsy. We did have a nice afternoon and it was good for one of the ladies who is recovering from surgery and this was her first time out and she felt much better after it.

I then went to see if I could find the jeans that Heather had asked me to buy and fortunately I managed to find one pair. I parcelled them up with the other tops I have bought and went and paid a fortune to post them!!

I got home and fed Totty and then got ready for the HOT (House of Travel) Pink walk. The forecast was for fine weather but it was looking very grey and it was very windy.

I met up with the other ladies - only two turned up, most put off by the weather I think - and we went down to the start. I felt it lacked in atmosphere this year and it didn't look nearly so busy. The route was different to try and keep us away from the main road I think. We managed to finish in half an hour which was pretty good but there was no glass of wine half way this year and no gift at the end - we have had a chocolate bar and a candle in the past - times must be hard. It all fell a bit flat really and we all just went home. Jon was surprised I was back so early and he was just about to eat his dinner. It started to pour with rain about five minutes after I got back so we were very lucky to only have a light shower on the walk.

I had some toast and we watched some TV and I read my book.

I feel really tired now so off to bed to read. House inspection tomorrow so need to be ready for her.
