What a busy morning we had with the medical profession. First, we had a 10.00am appointment at the hospital, and you can imagine the scarcity of parking at that time of day. The car park was full to bursting with everyone attending a multitude of clinics, so round and round we drove. Finally we spotted a spare car park, thank goodness for that.
Found a car park at last
Inside the hospital it was a matter of masks on and follow the orange line on the floor. This is what we want, Orthopedics.
After a bit of waiting around, Robin was whisked away for a couple of knee x-rays, then we sat and waited once more. Finally we were ushered in to a consultation room and the surgeon breezed in. The x-rays are fine, we were told, Robin’s previous knee replacement has healed well, and the surgeon could see the up-to-date state of the other knee. Mmmm, that needs replacing too, we were told, probably get done in a few months time. So that was great news all round. One knee done, one to go.
Leaving the hospital we went to find the Covid drop-in clinic we had only just found out about. Giving our details we sat and waited our turn, and before we knew it, a friendly and very informative nurse took us into her room. There she went over details, answered questions, and delivered the flu jab, followed by the Covid vaccine. All done quickly and efficiently, and we hardly felt a thing. Such excellent service indeed.
All done
With the medical business all taken care of, it was time for a late lunch. Subway for a change, we decided, as we pondered exactly what to order. So we sat down at the tables, enjoyed our casual lunch, then headed for home. After all, we have a caravan rally to go to when we get home. Its a busy old day, all right.
