Hospital trip done ✔️ Got there in plenty of time and he was called in early for the scan. Unfortunately the machine wasn’t able to pick anything up so he had to go for a blood test. It was one of those drop in centres where you take a ticket and wait for your number to be called. It was really busy but we were only waiting about 30 minutes.
Mr SA wanted to go to Primani when we got to the city centre so he’s ended up with 2 pairs of joggers and a zip up top.
After that we went for lunch. Mr SA was really hungry as he didn’t get up early enough for breakfast.
Pushing the wheelchair was ok on the flat but tougher on inclines. I wouldn’t want to do it on a regular basis that’s for sure. It all worked well though so it would be fine for the odd trip out.
We took the dog on the park when we got home then Mr SA went for his siesta.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Well done getting through a bit of a trying day, glad the wheelchair is an option for occasional use

Glad the trip went ok, and hopefully the blood test didn't pick up anything nasty. I bet Mr SA really enjoyed his lunch after no breakfast.
