Not the afternoon I wanted to have.....
Dh has been feeling really tired for a few weeks and short of breath finally went to doctors at 4:15pm. She told him not to drive and to go straight to hospital for a chest x-ray. He came home I tried in vain to get hold of one of my parents to collect their child early only to be told they were just gettin on the train in london - in the meantime their child kicked my 3 year old son in the face (by accident). My son then had a nose bleed out of both nostrils and NHS direct made me like I had done it to him. Ds is okay now and asleep in my bed.
In the meantime my mil colleted hubby and they got to hospital just after 6pm and they are still there and he has only just gone in for the x-ray. He is number 6 in the queue of patients that the doctor needs to talk to and the doctor is only on the first one.
To top even all of this off we have had a gas leak issue where the local plumber has been in and replace 3 bits of pipework. I had to get him in again tonight as we can smell gas in the 1st floor toilet and he says we are not leaking gas but I now need to speak to the neigbours and see if they will let him do a gas test on their house.
On a brighter note - I know I have said I would take ds and dd off my pic but had to put the above on where dd fell asleep eating her dinner the other night. They make my heart melt.
Thanks for letting me rant evn though you haven't really had a choice in the matter.
