It was once said by a colleague that hearing me swear was like hearing your grandmother swear!!! I have to say I was rather colourful in my language yesterday. It was a bad day, I have had such a bad cold that the antibiotics I have been taking have not worked. Yesterday I nearly ended up being kept in hospital after xrays and blood tests (I am running out of veins). However worse news was that because I was so ill they could not do Chemo today, it has been postponed a week. I was given stronger antibiotics which seem to be working (they are seriously heavy duty). I am to see the oncologist tomorrow to look at the issue. I hope that this will be ok, I cannot afford to have a big gap in chemo and they may have to take me in to build me up.....I am hoping not.
On the bright side, and there is always a bright side I took delivery of my new car, a lovely Red Fiat Panda. This has five doors, it makes life easier for the grand kids and elderly rickety parents!
I know you are saying what does she need a car for now, well I do this every three year thing so I have three years of worry free motoring in terms of service, mot, tax etc etc. Also it is about my freedom. I have to have a car, to move about especially in terms of keeping my self infection free. It means I can get out quickly and back if Mick is not here and I am not as tired as if I were walking and carrying heavy shopping. I can also get myself to the hospital for checkups etc. Buses and trains are not good places for me at the moment, with people sniffing and coughing. Actually it may be how I got my cold when I had to go to Limehouse (work) and deliver some urgent forms - I went on the train.
There expense justified. Now for the environmental, better petrol consumption, lower tax and Lower emissions. New cars are much better than old in this respect.
