Father has been watching football. Last seen he wasn't in a fit state to make it down the stairs due to whisky, so we will be taking dinner up to him.
Uncle has apparently had a good day, but while the staff can't say too much to me as I'm not next of kin, it sounds like he is still a bit wandering. He isn't answering his phone so I can't call him direct.
I am gearing up for Operation Christmas Clean, which I am planning to start tomorrow. As is traditional bear is looking red cheeked, bright eyed and running on calpol. This has been building since Cardiff so I am not surprised that it is finally coming out. I suspect that Operation Christmas Clean will be postponed while bear and I cuddle on the sofa watching 'The Day of the Doctor' again. I may watch it again when DH comes home after his hospital appointment tomorrow. He loathes hospitals and will need cuddles.
I think at the moment bear is in limbo between 'too poorly for school' and 'not bad enough for a doctor' so he may get dragged into school. Otherwise it is just as well that father is going on his own to see the consultant on Tuesday, though I think father is nervous. In fact I suspect that concern about the consultant is behind at least a quarter bottle of whisky. I just hope he can find the right place. Leeds General Infirmary is vast and can take half an hour to walk from one side to another. It really is a route march. I tried to find a map of Leeds General Infirmary but apparently one doesn't exist. So here is a pretty picture of the more picturesque part.
The picture does not do it justice and if you sneak in for a shortcut through the staff entrance as I used to when visiting my late father in law you go past a beautiful Victorian Gothic interior. Then you sadly get to the institutionalised green painted bits, but that entrance is gorgeous.
You can download a map of the entire LGH site from http://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/fileadmin/Documents/Locations/Leeds_General_Infirmary_COLOUR.pdf. Hope your father finds his clinic ok. I've only visited the hospital once to meet the healer at the Oncology Centre and to attend a spirituality conference. It was vast, especially for a newcomer.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'll get that map printed for father. It is so big. I don't know a wide range of hospitals, but this is vast. Father is allowing plenty of time. Thank you so much for this help, it feels like a massive hug, and I am very grateful. WS xxx
