Hello @NatureLover I hope you've turned the corner and are feeling better.
Tomorrow I'll take the cat to the cattery again - it's only about 7 weeks since my last hospital experience. I don't know when my surgery is scheduled, they'll tell me tomorrow. Probably Tuesday morning.

Lovely to hear from you, dear @Dimity . I'm amazed you still don't know what time your surgery is scheduled for! I expect you'll have to book a taxi? Am hoping that the taxi comes when required, not like last time 🤞
Good luck taking the cat to the cattery...I hope he's OK.
No, no improvement yet since starting the antibiotics last night. Going out of my mind with boredom and frustration. Am even sick of reading! Any activity results in asthma so still have to limit myself.
Am sending lots of wishes for your surgery, your vision and your MH 🙏
Lots of ❤ and care @Dimity

Hello @NatureLover @Shaz51
Admission at 9am. I'm getting a lift to the city so don't need to worry about a taxi.
The cat is safely at the cattery and I've packed an overnight bag. I still have chores to do.
Hugs @NatureLover your asthma sounds awful. Sending my best wishes. Hoping you can stream something - TV or audio book. Please take care.

Glad to hear you know your admission time and that you don't have to worry about ordering a taxi @Dimity 👍
It sounds like you're pretty organised. Good luck with the final chores.
Thanks so much for your good wishes ❤
Sending lots of care and thoughts, especially today, tonight and tomorrow for your surgery 🙏 Hope you can get some sleep tonight too ❤

Glad you have everything organised my friend 🧡 @Dimity

Hello @Ru-bee
Feels strange this time as other appointments are video linked at our local hospital and I like getting the blood tests results printed out before I see the specialist
But this time no printout and have to see the big city to see her
I feel it will be the same as 3 months ago but my mind won't stop until tomorrow afternoon

Mmm, it sounds like this appointment is a bit out of your comfort zone compared to your other appointments, which would naturally be stressful @Shaz51
Are you able to do something nice for yourself after the appointment, like popping into a nice cafe or getting yourself a treat while you're in the city?

Sounds good @Ru-bee
I know hubby wants to go to bunnings while we are up there tomorrow
