shadowhiveSo we ended up going to the hospital on Tuesday, just to get mum checked out. We went to get the 9:30 bus, but it didn’t show up so we came back in and then went on the 10:30 one instead.
Once we got there we had to navigate to the right place, then it was going from waiting area to waiting area until we had various talks with the doctors. I did take a book and a few magazines to read but I had no focus and didn’t even try to read them despite us being there for hours.
After talking to three people and having an x-ray the verdict is… there’s nothing wrong, or at least nothing seriously wrong. Nothing’s broken anyway so it seems everything is just part of the healing process which is a relief but also ugh.
Annoyingly there wasn’t a bus straight back home (why do they end at 2??) so we had to go to Wolverhampton and come back from there. Though of course we just missed one. We had over an hour to wander round and we did a surprising amount, alas the forbidden planet has unexpectedly moved, so going to where it was took time (apparently it’s moved close to where we went back to the bus which is annoying). But I did go in The Entertainer and they had some Micro Galaxy squadron ships. They were some of the new ones and they were discounted! So I picked up an a-wing, tie interceptor and vulture droid (the last is my fave). I do wish I’d picked up the republic gunship too though, especially cause it was a fancy one. We also picked up some cheap things, including a new harness for Naryu.
When we got back to the bus we were surprised there was still time, so we could’ve done more but.
By the time we got home it was nearly six so since it was Tuesday we did a two for Tuesday at McDonald’s which ugh, was so good (though the driver did somehow get lost cause he ended up a mile away??).
But yeah the whole day was very exhausting and draining.
I have made mum promise she’s gonna start walking Naryu with a stick to prevent falls (cause the doctor advised it) and I also told her she’s not to go anywhere alone while I’m away next weekend (and told everyone we see both so she has people who will help and also will snitch if she does).
I’m glad I had the Lego Ghost set to build cause it has been a nice distraction during the stress. I finished it yesterday and it looks pretty cool and I love the figures with it, though ugh you have to admit it’s kinda disappointing interior wise (theres just one central room and not much there). And oop I managed to shoot the mussels off by accident.
Yesterday was my blood test and, well the nurse seemed a bit uninterested and moody. At least the blood came out this time (last time it didn’t).she said the results would be in a week but to my surprise there was a call today from the doctor about it.
Apparently my B12 and vitamin d is low so the doctor’s prescribing me stuff for both (which should be there tomorrow but who knows) and he wants to see me next week to talk about my depression and such.
However the annoying thing? During the phone call mum was right there standing outside the door listening in, which through me off as I was trying to reply to one of his questions. And then as soon as I put the phone down she immediately wanted to know what it was about which was so ugh. Like damnit give me a chance to get back to my seat and put my thoughts in order damnit.
Anyway I’m gonna bundle up now I’ve got no real plans tonight though might try (and likely fail) to fic. Then tomorrow there’s new Doctor Who (woo!) and then next week is Slam Dunk which is gonna be a time.
Gonna reply to comments and such soon though thanks for the good vibes.

Date: 2024-05-17 04:31 pm (UTC)Me too! Yeah it’s so worrying, I’ve told her before not to go alone after falls but she doesn’t listen so I’m so worried. It doesn’t help she shown me where she fell the other day and it was right next to the main road with an iron fence the other side so it could’ve been even worse
Awww yay I’m glad! I shall let you know if Awsten is a menace or Maxx strips!

Date: 2024-05-19 04:15 pm (UTC)I'm not surprised about you being low on B12 and D... Derek's the same due to sitting on his ass all day 😫 You'll have to get out into the sun more ☺️
