Vic, my friend who is a physio, is going to come see me; and the hospital physio dept. finally rang today, appointment for week Thursday - probably the worst day ever that could have been chosen, but physio will take priority over everything else, IMHO - even if i do have to leave keys for my house with people!
And I'm at hospital to see the ortho consultant tomorrow, do hope he says i can start to drive again!
today, we were supposed to receive our new suite - 3 piece recliner leather sofa + recliner chair.
The van arrived nice and early, we were first drop - they could not, whatever they did, get their large lorry up our road, which is, essentially, a narrow back lane. Just shows the odd shapes wagons can come in - the bin man comes every week, and when we moved in the pantechnicon got up.. but not this wagon.
so they're coming back on Thursday with a smaller van...
in the meantime, i'm watching other people's horse hunts with interest.... whilst i'll keep dabbling in the adverts, since i can't try anything myself ATM i'm not sure how much point there is... even if i got a friend to try a horse i was interested in , that isn't necessarily the same thing?
Good news about the physio, even if the timing is not ideal!
ReplyDeleteRe: trying horses, I don't suppose there's a right answer. People buy unbacked horses so they don't know how they're going to ride. And I'd trust one or two other people to try a horse for me to buy, although obviously if I possibly could I'd want to ride too! There's nothing wrong with looking, you wouldn't want a good opportunity to pass by uninvestigated :) Very frustrating for you though.
Oh nice sounding suite, reclining!! just the job but shame you have to wait a little longer. Hope the physio goes well and that you get the go ahead for driving soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the physio. If you can do some of the exercises yourself without supervision, you will be done sooner.
ReplyDeleteAS for the horse search, even if a friend could decide whether the horse's temperament, etc. were good, that doesn't mean the horse would suit you physically. At this point, that is an important consideration along with disposition and training.
