2 Hours to Kill
What do you do when you've got two hours to kill and nowhere to go?
0930 I'd just had an isotope injection to check kidney function and first blood test was 2 hours later followed a further 3 blood tests 30 minutes apart.
First of all I went to the Costa Cafe in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, and got the biggest cup of coffee I'd ever had in my life, so big it had two handles!! Should have blipped that really!
While I was drinking it, slowly, I did a bit of sewing to secure the badges on my jacket in case the bits that secure the pins comes off. Don't want to lose the badges as some are irreplaceable.
The other night I sewed the RAF badge on but that has to come off and be sewn properly, by Marlane, so that it is straight!
I then went for a walk around the hospital atrium, it's rather large. I found a few photographs at the very far end, beside the 'Legion of Friends' cafe. The photographs were of the old Southmead and Frenchay hospital sites closing down, some were of staff as well and their thoughts on the closures, the friends they have made while working with each other, the affection for their old workplace and their hopes for the new hospital. The photographs continued through a door, down a stairwell and the short section of corridor at the bottom of the stairs.
Some were quite emotional and the exhibition was obviously planned with great foresight.
If you are visiting Southmead hospital, Brunel building, take the time to visit the exhibition, anyone that takes the time to do Blipfoto would surely appreciate the display.
