Some news

Some news - not a lot - but better than nothing. It's been nearly 4 weeks since my Cochlear Implant assessment and I have been waiting to pounce on the postie (for the mail you understand) every day for the past two weeks, to find out if I am even suitable for an implant. Still no news by today, and patience wearing thin, we finally phoned the hospital this afternoon. "Oh yes, she is most likely to be suitable for an Implant and is on the waiting list - we are just waiting to see if the MRI scan is of good enough quality or if a CT scan is also required" So, when were they going to let me know?! At least its good news - and there should be light at the end of the tunnel yet. The waiting list is anything from 12 to a maximum 18 weeks - this year's Christmas present?

Otherwise, we are having an Indian summer here - there is yellow ball in the sky which has been missing for quite a few weeks and now it is even warm up to 20 degrees C. Apparently it had been the wettest August in some areas since records began - I fully believe it. Another sign of Global Warming? At least I have now been able to catch up in the garden and potting up plants ready for the move to our new cottage - not that there has been much happening in that direction either lately. There seems to be a distinct lack of communication from whatever source at the moment - hospitals, solicitors, and our local council (that's another story). It's like trying to get blood from a stone. Not good for someone who likes to be organised weeks in advance - I like to plan ahead, you see. They say that patience is a virtue - it's definitely being tried at the moment.

At least I can sleep tonight - and the postie is safe for the moment......
