The day has finally arrived and has been somewhat of a whirlwind. Whythenshaw hospital is that large to get to a certain appointment i had to hire two sherpas , (porters will not take you to this destination as i found out today ).it was at the other end ofcthe hospital , i was literally imagining some spooky haunted department that strong men and women fear to tread but instead i found the most lovely lady you could ever wish to meet ( diane was her name) I have been taken care of very well and tomorrow its round two ,a little word of advice those decorative stones at the frontof main entrance are not wheel chair friendly they shake you up so much all my loose chsnge fellout of my oockets or perhaps that's their purpose,

Good night everyone ,sleep well and pleasent dreams

I see the funny side of your trip. To day we had one hour car journey to Lincoln hospital then a 40 minute walk to the department thank goodness I was in my wheelchair and hubby was pushing he needed a puff of oxygen. Good luck with your assessments. Jane

True story this ,

Today i had a echocardiogram and on the wall was a notice that read " if you require a clown during this procedure please ask" it took me two minutes to realise it said gown not clown (i didnt have my glasses on) πŸ˜‰

I don’t know if it would be reassuring to have a clown present during a procedure but it would certainly be distracting! That’s one way to take your mind off things πŸ˜†

All the best for tomorrow, I hope it all goes ok for you.

Wishing you a Great Result after all the Procedures you have to go through for Assessment, Had mine at QE Birmingham, I am still on the List. My Transplant Doctor thinks he's a Clown, his Jokes aren't funny though, He's lovely Really, and puts me at ease on my 3 Monthly Tracking appointments. Good Luck Hun, Have a Great Christmas. xxx

Good luck. I smiled at the thought of the new fundraising technique. I hate cobblestones- they are quite literally a pain in the neck. Hope all goes well for you.
