On The Island

We went to Knees Wood , a lot of bluebells everywhere there. A walk in the woods and then a coffee in the cafe.

Garden in the afternoon. Mal went to the allotment, a lot to do there at the moment. He brought some delicious asparagus back home for dinner.

We did watch Man City beat Arsenal!!!

A Red Hatter lunch day. We met at the Jolly Farmer. It was so nice to be back with the girls and catch up on everything with them. I have missed them and of course missed the holiday in Eastbourne because I was unwell. They had fun and so that was a good thing.

King George VI park for our walk.

We were up early as my appointment at Kent and Canterbury Hospital was 9am but I had to be there half an hour before. Mal came with me and we booked an Uber as I was told I couldn’t drive straight afterwards.

I didn’t have long to wait and I have to say the staff were really lovely. But they had to put a cannula in to put more Omnipaque in my body. Three attempts in one arm to get the needle in and then she gave in and put it in my hand!  A very weird sensation their preparation and then the scans.

She then took me to the toilet, to get dressed. As soon as I came out she had a sandwich, packets of biscuits and a cup of tea ready for me. What service. Mal shared some of this as he hadn’t had breakfast! When they said I could leave, we called another Uber to take us home.

It was such a lovely day Mal suggested as I had been starving, we should go for a late lunch at The Bell. It was just so nice sitting in their garden, sun out, Ellie very relaxed. A nice way to spend the afternoon.

In the evening we caught up with “Ben Fogle in China”. It certainly makes you think!

Not a work day as I had to take laxatives before my colonoscopy scan the following day.

So, up early to walk Ellie before my first 8am dose. And that is how the day continued, which meant I couldn’t leave the house.

The last dose was Omnipaque , that was not very tasty! Of course no food for 36 hours., which started Sunday evening.
