I was in a large hall on Saturday, full of people, and it became overwhelming the noise I could hear with my hearing aids. You hear too much sometimes and large areas tend to echo too. I can only bear them in for a couple of hours.
Wide awake at 2:15 … OH has abandoned ship and gone into the spare room. I’ve got a warm drink and a cream cracker and marmite to nibble. I’m listening to a Mark Steel podcast and doing WordPlay.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hope the cream cracker and marmite help, @Dovefromabove About 3:30am here, and this is the 3rd time of waking up. Got to be up at 5:45am for hospital transport. Again. Stomach is rumbling.
No sleep in the day for me. Waiting for transport to take me to London hospital, then there's the waiting around to return, and the journey. Average is about 10 hours door to door.
Thanks @Dovefromabove I did go back and get 3or4 hours so not quite zombie like. Hope it's not that long a day @rowlandscastle444 hospital is not the place to be having to hang around.

Thank you. The appointment had been ha.stily referred by my neurologist, and hastily confirmed by the second hospital.. I hastily booked the patient transport.
However, the receiving Dept had a new computer system and couldn't "find" my referral. Things were delayed by a couple of hours. I was then seen by a consultant, who hastily referred me to a colleague. Another hours wait.
Then said colleague refused to see me because they already had a full schedule, but admitted that had I been an urgent case (which I pointed out, I was), he would have seen me. He disagreed with the urgent nature (obviously a brain infection and sinus abscess is not urgent), so I was sent away, despite my protests.
A long wait for return hospital transport, then a reasonable journey home, ended my day "out".
So, I've not been seen, and can't return to the neurologist until I have been. A complete waste of a day, of other people's time, and taxpayers' money.
