What a day - in some ways everything got blown out of the water but in other ways, I got a lot done that I hadn't expected.
I had a list of phone calls to make before my early afternoon doctor's appointment followed by difficult child 3's last tennis class for the year. But mother in law rang - husband's cousin had invited herself and her husband over for lunch. I knew I wouldn't be able to do much but would be needed at some point, so I rang my doctor to try to bring my appointment forward. And I could! I had an hour to get there whien the phone rang - an important call from school discussing difficult child 3's subject options for next year, including the college course option. I need to talk to the college URGENTLY. By the time I got off the phone from the teacher (no time to call the college, maybe I would drop in) I had to get going fast.
I got to the doctor right on time but of course she was running late. I needed to get my results from yesterday's ultrasound on my hips.
And this time there was evidence found that I do have bursitis. So she wrote me a referral to get ultrasound-guided cortisone injections into both hips.
The radiology place was only five inutes'drive away so I went there in person to make the appointment, thinking that Friday would work for me. But they said, "Hang round, we'll try and fit you in this afternoon."
I was given an hour and a half to wait so I parked in the basement of the nearby mall (out of the sun there) and catnapped. I've not been sleeping, so the catnap was valued.
They normally don't inject both hips in the one day (because government insurance only pays for one hip injection per day) but the doctor very kindly did both my hips, knowing he was only getting paid for one.
Of course I am now very sore, this will take a few days to begin to work (if it does).
I drove straight home. B*gg** dropping in on the college! Went to mother in law's, chatted there for half an hour with husband's cousin and her husband, then difficult child 3 rang - time to take him to tennis!
Normally I stroll aroud the tennis court and kick the balls back to the coach, but not today - I went back to the car and stayed there.
Back home in time to cook a quick dinner, then headed out to choir practice before husband got home (he'd had computer problems at work). Home again (hips really beginning to hurt) to cook a late night snack/small dinner and return a phone call about the organisation of the carols service.
So I'm heading for bed, perchance to sleep.
I cancelled my cleaner for tomorrow (I don't think I could cope with him - I'm going to be too sore and I work alongside him usually, I have to because he's so incompetent). easy child 2/difficult child 2 will be visiting plus difficult child 3 has another speech pathology session in the morning (unless she cancels - she does sometimes, her health isn't good).
Depending on how I'm gonig (and how difficult child 3 goes with schoolwork) we might get to the beach briefly. I need my Vitamin D dose!
Enjoy your Wendesday.
