Today's Aim

Joshua needed some 'moral support' for his paper round this morning, not help to do it, just someone to get him up and have breakfast with him.
I dropped him to school just as Clare arrived home but I still beat her back to bed!!
I was back downstairs three hours later, brunch, and a call to the doctors.

Now call me impatient but the optician tells me she cannot continue with new glasses as I have "a bleed behind the eye(s)", gives me a letter marked 'Urgent' and tells me; "take this straight to the surgery- now".

Then you come up against the completely untrained, unresponsive, unsympathetic and untrained doctors receptionists. As she casually dropped the letter onto the pile in the In-Tray with the aside; "the doctor will see it today". Left standing there like a lemon wondering what happens next you have this feeling of impotent rage any comment elicits a threat to "remove you from the patient list".

I phoned last night, nothing helpful; "the doctor will have read your letter and will contact you in due course", phoned again this morning again nothing helpful; "I believe the doctor has read your letter", as quick as a flash - nothing!!

So that's what I've done today, exactly nothing.
