Hilarious trip to Treliske hospital. Walking behind an elderly couple who were very slow as the man had crutches. The lady apologised when she realised we were behind them & tried to make room for us to pass.
Mum says “No rush, no rush!” Looking at the gentleman she says “Shame the sun’s not shining (which it was but obviously not indoors) & then you could lay down & take all your clothes off!”
The lady looked shock (I gave her a grin & a wink & she relaxed, that’s about all you can do in these situations I find) but the man said “Don’t let me stop you!”
Mum then needs the toilet but is insistent on going alone incase the doctor calls for her while she’s in there. She comes back 5 minutes later apologising to me for all the commotion. When I asked what she meant she said “I had my knickers round my ankles, no wrists, no knees & a lady comes banging on the door asking if I’m okay. I’d pulled the emergency cord thinking it was the light switch!”
At Treliske hospital Mum went to take her shoes off, I told her she didn’t need to as there’s a roll of paper towel on the bed to keep it clean. Mum said “I thought that was there incase someone needed to spell from their rear end!” Yep SPELL!
Early for our hospital appointment so as we got out of the car mum says “Shall we have a cigarette then?” Urm….which one of us smokes & where shall we get a cigarette from???
Mum told a waiting room full of patients that the bar she worked in in Spain had banned people with crutches, glasses, wheelchairs etc! Of course she soon changed that!
“I’d rather not be in pain! I’d rather have a Mars Bar!” Oh the hilarity of morphine!
At the Doctor’s & Mum said her eyes were fuzzy, then had a sip of water & said they were now fine!
