Wednesday

I went out today to by a memory card reader as the card I got in my phone dose not connect to the card readers already on my computer I only just found that out I have had the phone for about 4 months at least went to a Maplin’s to buy it took the card and show them told them what I wanted it to do and when I get home it dose not work I am right angry with them they already messed me around in the shop and then to get home and find this out it really went over the top as now I got to go throw all the mucking around  of taking it back  

Tuesday evening

I went to my casualties union meeting tonight it was out AGM went well and unlike some AGM’s I go to it did not go on for hours and lead to us sitting there getting feed up. There was some good news at last we got a new home and from next month we will be moving in their for out monthly meeting I am told it is a lovely place and a good thing is we wont have to walk up loads of steeps to get there as it I s a long way up to were we are at the moment. Getting home after was a nightmare had to wait ages for the bus and then it was packed when I got to Whitechapel again had to wait for a train in the end gave up and got bus to Stratford and then came home via Romford it took half an hour longer at least then normal. I am just so tied I really do need to go to bed

Tuesday Day time

Been doing my shift today at Moorfields on the information desk the journey up there went very well no problems on arrival at the hospital I went and got my breakfast and then went got my Starbucks from the local outlet down the road went back to the hospital. When working on the desk you do get asked some really funny and silly questions and there are some people who are just so rude and can not wait there turn an example would be this lady who came in with her family why I was trying to help this other family and the lady who came in just pushed them out of the way and then started demanding I held her and tell her everything she needed to know when I was not sure of something she started having ago and saying what a wast of time I was if I did not know every thing without looking in the book. On the other hand the are some people who are just so nice and friendly like the old man I helped to get down to ultrasound as he had just been dumped in reception and there was no porters free to help and he was late. The man was so thank fall and kept saying sorry for being a pain which in no way was he I was more then happy to help him that’s what I am there for after all. One other case that comes to mind is the young child and his family that we helped they came and made a donation after they were treated and the child was so nice and polite and I feel sorry for him because that as there are a few bad young people out there they all get a bad name which is wrong.

Monday

I was meant to have gone to the doctors today but I had totally forgot about it until it was way to late now I have had to rearrange it for the 13^th April then I realise I am busy that day I will change it nearer the time I have had a quite day just been working on my other website and putting some new things on there and testing it. This evening went to my St John Division and we did a manual handling update session after that we went to the pub and I got home about 1145pm was glad to be home to get to bed as have to be up early on a Tuesday.

Sunday Evening

Just got in from the race night it was a really good laugh and it did me good to get it again I am feeling almost 100% better the fresh air did me well. I was doing really well at first and kept winning the races and making lots of that money but by the end of the night I was losing. I think it is a really good game you each get a set amount of fake money and then you place your bets and then watch the race to see who wins only problem is I think you could only play it once or twice as you would begin to know the winners and that would take away the fun of it all. I did not mind losing after all it was just for a laugh and it’s the taking part that counts. If any one knows of any other interactive games like this one then please do let me know

Sunday morning

I slept most of Saturday and Friday when I got home really did not feel well  I am feeling a lot better today most of the swelling has gone now but still not feeling 100% better still feeling very week and drowsy and ache but I thinking the rest I have had but will be glad to get out and about again tonight I am going to race night and meeting at my St John Division that should be good laugh I will right a little report on it tonight when I get back.

Friday morning

Still fell bad still but swollen but that’s to be expected I gess did not get much sleep as had to get up at 9am to phone doctors to get urgent appointment to get tablets they gave me changed and to get replacements for what I used last night. After phoning the doctor I had to go back to Queens hospital in Romford to pick some medication that they did not give me when I left earlier this morning as they did not have it in A&E after that I had to go up to Moorfields to pick up some special Eye drops I have that I can only get from them because of the type I have to have. Got back from there went to doctors got new tablets and replacements for the ones I used I have to take 15 of one tablet 4 of another and 2 of another all at the same time 2 times a day for the next 5 days plus my two asthma pumps and eye drops my bag is like a mobile chemist at the moment still don’t feel to good and feel very sleepy and week so will go of to bed now

Thursday

Really not having good week had to go to the doctors again as had lump come up on eye and really bad pain. I don’t normal go to the doctors hardy at all bus this weeks been bad they gave me tablets I took one and did not feel to well bus had to go to Moorfields to meets someone who when I got there did not turn up. I took another one of the tablets on the way home and by the time I had got home all my face had swollen and I had to take my reaction tablets they had no reaction so had to use my Epipen and call an ambulance got took to hospital. It really scary but in a way funny because I had the same ambulance crew from last time this happened last month and when got to hospital I went in the same departments reuses and then majors and both times was in the same bed as last time. I was let out at about 5am on Friday morning and am righting this on Friday evening now feel bit better. Will let you know how things get on I still don’t feel to good when I got home

It’s been a long day not done much work mostly just sitting there but it can be draining as you are doing lots of little bits throw out the day.

I think I fully warmed up again now it been very cold wet and windy today and at some point I managed to hurt my knee it is really painful.

Now to relax and watch TV and DVDs

Just got in from my shift at Moorfields it been a good day but a nightmare getting home as there problems with the trains. It was very quite today at the children’s centre and I on my own on the desk there now as the other person I worked with on a Tuesday morning no longer cover the desk. This afternoon in the main hospital it was more busy then normal and I was there tell 5pm and there was still people coming I think they must have been very short of staff today.

Just got in from my weekly St John meeting it was our AGM this week it was good night did not go on as long as I thought it would do. I was happy to have won one of the cups again for the third year in a row it is nice to be given something back to say thank you for what you have done and to have something to show for it.

Just been to the blood centre to donate blood platelets it takes me bout and hour and 20 ever time I go once a month but it is worth it and help to save people lives the only down side to it is the getting there and back after as it is all the way in Brentwood and it takes bout 1 hour to get there from home and then a taxi ride at the other end to and from the blood centre as no buses go near there. I enjoy it and you get very well looked after during your donation with a sandwich and drink and the nurses are always happy to answer any question you may have. This time I got an award as it was my

 10^th time donating it was a small

badge thing and a certificate. Which I think is a nice little idea to say thank you from them to you.

Its now Saturday have not Wright anything for last few days because have not really done much. The only interesting thing I have done is gone to the shops and the doctors. This morning I have been getting ready for my Casualties union duty tomorrow in Hertfordshire. I still can’t stop thinking about the subject brought up in my last post it really is touching me and hurting me making me think.

It is at time like today that I wish I still was with corrina. Her kind caring way that loving soveing person that she is someone you can turn to in time of need some who when your down helps you back up. Oh how I miss her we may not have always seen eye to eye on things and argued avout things I may have not treated her right I may have not have been the way I shold. But despite no matter what I was like or what I did she was always there for me the one I could rely on the one I could trust. I would give anything to have her back I can't beleve we split the way we did three long years ago I can still rember that day like it was today I just could not stop crying. I hated ny self and could see bo point in life withoit her. I could not sleep or eat four days.I still thinl of her every second and drean of her at night. Becayse you see I love her and meant it when I said to her I would always love. i thought she was the person I would spend the rest of my life with would mary maybe have a family and live happy ever after like one of these fair tail book. She os the most sweetest bueatifal girl there is her lovely hair, face, eyes, looks, body, charm, style and personality. My drem in life would be me and her as one when I feel strest like I have been recenly I would love to just lay hear in my arms and hold her tight to help me chill and relax ib only the way se can

Went up to Moorfields this morning to do my shift on the information desk in both the children’s centre in the morning which went well not many problems that I did not know how to solve and in the main hospital in the afternoon which was lot more busy then the other side spent a lot of time on my feet show people were places were and had few questions asked I could not answer but over all a great day I had to go to the chemist on the way home to get a special dressing for my arm as a cut I had has come infected it is a silver backed dressing they cost me £12 each a lot of cash for a dressing but worth it I can feel the benefit already. Tonight I think I have found the problem with my printer but can’t get it to work yet

Had to go to the Heathway this afternoon to get some bits from the 99p store how I love them places I could spend hours in there and had to take some stuff to boots including a prescription that my brother found. Then I spent hours trying to get my printer to work as it was playing up somehow it lost its network connection I cant sort it our right now errrr.  Then tonight I went to my St John Meeting we did wound management it was good fun I like sessions like this were it is hand on and not just listening and reading I am a hands on sort of person. We got a new door entry system at division and a lot of people were getting court out by it as they did not know it had been put in so did not know the code to get in and how to get out after.  After that we went over the pub there was only a few of us. That it for Monday from what I can remember.

Sunday has been boring day did not d anything really all day just spent it chilling and watching TV and on the Internet

Think I may have sorted the problem with the freeview I went to shop and brought a scart adaptor that changes it in to normal TV RF signal not sure if it will work I hoe so I going to try and sort it out I tried once it bit jumpy

Went out down Romford with mum and brother and mums friend for few hours did some shopping I got a freeview box but It did not work so had to take it back got one now and trying to set it up oh joy i have only one problem it looks like it can only be done throw scart and i dont have scart on my pc and i watch all my tv throw my tv

Went for my blood test this morning could not eat or drink after 8pm last night only water I was dieing fir a hot chocolate so I got one on way back from hospital at Starbucks. Spent most of morning sorting out my room moving few more bits to there new home I must nearly be finished. I got nothing planed for the rest of the day so should be a nit boring mow not that I cant watch my favourite TV channels any more thanks to those horrid people at Virgin Media ever Since they took over from NTL the service has got worse and worse and now this what ever next NTL were bad enough the only good thing about virgin is the internet works better.

Went to my monthly Casualties Union meeting I was used to practices on we were doing burns and open fractures make up I will be adding some photos soon from there was a grate night we in a new room at the City Temple on the 4^th floor a long way to walk up as there is no life and it a very small room, but apart from that it was good.

Tuesday morning very early start up at 6am to get the bus at 7am oof to Moorfields I go very sleepy and not happy for some reason my MP3 player did not charge when I put it on last night. Got to the hospital had breakfast went round to the children’s centre for my shift on the information and reception desk went really well know most of the answers to the question I was asked. Had a few problems still getting used to the phone system cut a few people off opps. Covered the shop for short time. In the afternoon I was back in the main hospital doing the information desk there that bit harder more to remember more place people wanting to know about and more things I did not know. But apart from that it was a good day all round the only thing that did make me a bit not happy was the silly parking warden who was going to give the nice fish man a parking ticket but he did not in the end.

Went to my St John ambulance meeting night got there very late because of radio station meeting but it was good we went to the pub after which as all ways was good laugh just got home checking what time I have to leave in the morning and then going bed I think
