It’s been a week of them and who knows if I have just been clutsy or if this is my MS playing.
So Healthcare At Home deliver my MS drugs once a month. Because the MS team at the hospital is short on nurses my prescription is late reaching them, meaning I have less than a weeks supply left by the time the prescription comes through and delivery is arranged. I don’t have the luxury of waiting for my usual Wednesday evening delivery.
For the first time ever I arrange for the drugs to be delivered to work with the strict instructions to phone on arrival and I will come out, do not give these to anyone else. A set hour delivery slot is arranged and its pencilled out in my diary as is the 1/2 hour after it, in case it’s late.
So how did I find myself, sitting on a conference call, 50 minutes after the end of my delivery slot being asked to go out and collect the drugs. HAH fucked up. Thank you HAH for helping me keep life normal and helping me keep disclosure to who I want.
I dash out of the call, with a need to return quickly and immediately trip on the lip of the lift (which does not sit flush to the floor) flying full pelt into the mirror on the other side of the lift. Tears form but I continue to run out, collect the drugs and run back to my meeting. A week later and my nose still hurts.
Does the delivery driver even come to the building, acknowledge that he is late or apologise. Nope.§
Fast forward to Saturday and I am about to coach a session on tandem race canoe paddling. Much research and planning has gone into this. I’ve been up and down the river bank numerous times and I am spritely on my feet. After an intro to the sessions, goals and aims we head towards the water to get the boats in, my foot slips on the way down, and opposite toe catches on the bank so most of me travels downwards except the right foot and crack intense pain.
A couple of hours on the river bank, a trip to A&E, x-rays and we have confirmation that it is not broken, but ligament or tendon damage. I return to the campsite on crutches – no more paddling for me this weekend. However if there is a good place to be out of action it’s on a campsite full of very friendly people.
So annoying and makes me question whether this is co-incidence, a momentary blip or the start of a downward trajectory.
