Back to hospital again this afternoon for another ear check-up. Came in late from noticing I had a very under inflated tyre, need to check on that again in a couple of days, might be faulty, as it's just been replaced. All the others seem fine.
Checking them and re-inflating made me late for hospital though. My appointment last time was in the midst of visiting hours, so I hoped this time would be less busy in the car park. No such luck. It's almost as though when they built this Victorian hospital they didn't take cars into account. How short-sighted.
I drove round the car park getting frustrated at people in front of me lingering for ages when it was obvious there were no spaces. I just wanted to get out, but they were acting like a car might just disappear if they wished hard enough. Happily though, once I got out of the car park I found a perfect space in the short term parking just over the road, which meant I didn't even need to pay pay-and-display charges. Score.
Took an age to be seen, but once I was the doctor made a useful bit of diagnosis regarding the rest of my pain, suggesting I had a couple of torn muscles (neck and shoulder) that seem likely candidates. I'll take that to my GP on Friday and see if they have a suggestion; the doctor at the hospital suggested I might need specialist physiotherapy.
Went back to the ward I was staying on and picked up the few things I had forgotten when I left the last time, which was much less difficult than I had imagined it might be. The day was bright and sunny and warm, that end of March pre-summer lift that we always seem to get. Even the lights seemed to be with me on the way back. .
In the evening I went to have a drink for a friend's birthday. Just a single, as I was driving, but it was nice to get out for a bit. All in all, today was a good day, and I felt in a better mood than I had in months.
