The Diary Of Onebrokelady Aged 60 And A Half

I hope your tooth is now sorted x

You don’t need toothache on top of everything else you have going on. Hope you get sorted at the dentist.
It’s surprising how long it takes for everything to come together with hospitals and work. I’m sure things would work better if one department talked to another. Hopefully you’ll have some answers and a treatment plan soon and then you can get your head around everything. Learning to pace yourself is tricky.

Hi everyone. I posted two nights ago but the site was playing up and logged me out halfway through posting so I gave up 😀 hopefully it’s fixed now 🤞

I went to the emergency dental access place and he did a partial root canal , the tooth is cracked right up through the middle so no wonder it was hurting. The dentist I saw has referred me to a new service called The Stabelisation  service which is for people who don’t have a dentist and they will do the rest of the treatment for me, I’ve just got to wait for a phone call with an appointment.

I finally got an appointment with the respiratory team on the 2nd of July but it’s a phone appointment which seems odd to me. I asked on my support group and they said that quite often you have a phone appointment first then they tell you which tests you’re  having then this is followed up by a face to face appointment later on .

Hmmmm it seems it’s not fixed, I luckily posted just before went off. I’m giving up for now

I'm glad you've got some dental treatment and a respiratory appointment, even if it's a phone one. You are officially Moving Up The Queue.

Glad they have at least started sorting your tooth for you. Must be a relief 👍

Thanks it’s a relief that my tooth is fixed. The phone appointment is with a physiotherapist so I’m not sure what it’s for

Such a relief I’ve had three c sections and would rather do that again than have the tooth ache I had 😀

I’m back to post so let’s see if it times me out again. 

The phone appointment I have on Wednesday is with a physio so I’m not sure what it’s for 🤷‍♀️ I will find out on Wednesday I suppose 😀 I’ve been taking it easy the last few days while it’s been so hot. I’ve spent a lot of time in my deckchair reading. 

Today I painted the handrail in my front garden as it has needed doing for a while but first it kept raining then I couldn’t find the paint I had bought then was too tired but it’s done now and it looks very smart. I also finally DEFROSTED MY FRIDGE 🍾🥳🥳🍾 it’s only been waiting since last December 😀 im a bit worried though because i keep hearing weird noises coming from the kitchen so I hope it’s not my freezer breaking from the shock. 

Tomorrow I’m going to visit my mum and  and get some ingredients to make some meals for the freezer. I’m at home all day on Wednesday so I’m hoping will have enough energy to batch cook some food to save me cooking on other days plus the freezer needs filing up.

I also changed my bed today and I’ve not bothered putting the duvet cover on the duvet, it’s so hot I’m just sleeping under the cover instead .

In money news I was told by the UC website that I would find out how much I was being paid on the 29th of June but I’ve not had any notification yet so I’m hoping there isn’t a problem . I’m supposed to get my first payment on the 3rd of July so we will see if that happens. I’m not doing too badly this month due to the build up I had in my current account and I got my fare share payment of £100 from the Nationwide this week so just enough to cover all my outgoings. 
Next month will be tighter because I won’t have any more built up money in my current account so I might need to top my money up from my savings. I’m going to end up suing some of my savings at some point because they expect me to live on it if I have more than £6000 in savings. If my early retirement goes through that would help but I think that’s going to take a few months to sort out to be honest. I’m keeping a close eye on my budget now anyway so I don’t lose track of anything. I’m still paying my debts off at £10 each a month but that will not be sustainable in the long term. Once I have a letter with diagnosis I am going to ask them to write them off if possible. I’ve also found out my water company does a cheaper tariff if you are on a low income so I will sort that out once I hear if my claim has been successful.
