Start February

The OT lady finally got here. She pulled out last time because of the weather.
I was stuck in the car yesterday when it refused to start. I got a lift from a neighbour but got cold and was less energetic today.
Luckily the Gibralter chess tournament started so I could watch that.
There was some discussion about a hospital bed and of course Mum found one on ebay.
I will not touch it if the local NHS/Health Board will not help finance it. After all they are going to supply me with a free one. The thing is, this is a double with the two sides working independently.
Anyway we will see.
I was also measured an easy chair that reclines, lifts your feet and stands you up when you have had enough. This would be OK if we throw out a leather armchair.
She toured the new house offering bars inside and out to help get in the house, the bath, the shower etc. She also offered bars in the current house. I thought that as we are going to move soon the next tenant might want them all out. She said, basically, so what.
I will get a seat removed, a chair for the shower provided and a couple of handrails changed.
I seem to be getting a lot of support from all quarters. As long as they don't start me thinking
 I might be ill that will be OK.
I had an arm full of blood taken yesterday. I'd forgotten about that. They will test it and see how I'm doing fighting the lurgy.
It turns out that the OT lady has my application for a blue card. If I get it I can park the car anywhere when I go to Lerwick. There is a policeman whose toes I'd like to park on.
I gasped when I showed her the bathroom and I leaned against the wall when I walked from the dining room. I didn't realise at the time that she had my application or I could have done some acting. Never mind.
The builders have volunteered to put up all the gadgets she sends to the new house. Daes this mean defering the date of the move??
Now read on.
