Day 57 – Ascension of the Lord
Sorry for the delay in posting, various other things have been happening and that has increased my workload in the last few days. I’ve now registered with a new GP and have to say that the process was reasonably good. The practice nurse couldn’t have been more helpful, and whilst she seemed to be asking more questions about what support there was here, it was good that she was asking.

Today was busy rushing about doing things for other people, and then i had a touch of enjoyment for about an hour between four and five pm. Now back at home and all alone again. Hate this. And taking the antibiotics. Still got to work out when I’ll take the five all at one go set. Maybe Sunday mornings will be a good time. Continue reading Day 10
