What a day! Si was supposed to be coming to hospital today but had to go and see the big cheeses at work instead. Last night Jess said she’d come but at 9.30 this morning said ‘it’s too early to go up there’ ! I couldn’t be arsed with arguing it with her and the disabled parking spaces are within walkable distances ish, very ish from outpatients so I decided I had to do without the wheelchair. (I didn’t want to call the porters, I hate that)

No disabled spaces at the front of the hospital. No disabled spaces outside Physio (which would have been a major stretch but needs must). I ended up in the main car park, having to walk up the hill, up two flights of narrow stairs and all the way around to the other side of the (big) hospital building. My appointment was at 11, I got to see the doctor at 12. And then back again to my car.

My leg from knee to toe is massively swollen with pockets of fluid. I went out for lunch with mum but couldn’t enjoy it as much as I should because I was so sore. My optic nerves are still swollen despite the meds and my weight loss. I’m just fed up
