I am up very early. This morning I am going to the doctors...not my idea..I got called in. I don’t know why but I am glad...it’s time I saw somebody about various old age related problems. As it’s over a year since my last visit it is definitely time. So I am up dressed and sneezing for Britain...Two or three words written here are then interrupted by another sneeze. World class sneezes...not an unusual event..
But they only let me get three words down before convulsing me again.
I like my doctor. When David was terribly ill four years ago he came either to the house or to the nursing home every day at some point. Since that time I’ve only seen him about once a year but that’s enough...I know he’s there if I need him.
But I’m not sure I do really need him right now. What’s wrong with me is the result of having lived eighty odd years... no cure for that beyond the ultimate one!
However I shall enjoy seeing him again ....Hopefully. When I stop sneezing.
This morning my cleaner will arrive just as I’m going..as far as I know that’s it for today....
I’m not expecting anyone else I don’t think...so I’ll be able to think about getting some essential packing done. Ball gowns? Hot weather gear? Oh dear.. I have now two weeks before I set sail , plenty of time...providing I stop sneezing! Atishooo!

I hope that the trip to the Doctor was something as simple as a flu Jab.
I had a phone call from our Surgery a couple of months ago, saying that I needed to make an appointment with the Diabetes Nurse (out of sequence) to discuss some results. I was worried as I hadn't had any blood tests or anything else which would produce results. And the receptionist who rang, was unable to disclose why I needed to go in.
When I got there, it was simply to tell about changes to the way that my diabetes would be monitored over the next year, with an additional medical professional involved who would be giving me "well being" advice. I was a bit miffed to say the least.
Why could they have not just dropped me a note or email (they use it when it suits them) and avoided all of the secrecy or fretting while I wondered what was going on.
I'm all for good communication, but surely a waste of clinicians time?
