Patience ... Friday 22nd Nov

I ordered a new mobile phone for the youngest yesterday, and so I find myself waiting in for the delivery today. Mid-morning I get a text from the delivery company DPD, telling me it would be delivered between 1:20pm-2:20pm, and sure enough the delivery arrives at 1:20pm, great service. How I wish all my experiences with companies were so positive. Take note corporate Great Britain.

In the afternoon I go to get the dressing on my shoulder changed. Once again there is no mirror in the nurses room, and so I have still not really seen the scar from my operation yet. The good news is I’m told that I’m healing well, and I’m doing the exercises the physio gave me, though they do hurt. I’m told the real pain comes when you start the proper physiotherapy, which is next week for me. So that’s something to look forward to (not).

Well that’s the first week since I had the shoulder put back together over, and it has gone reasonably well. I know these things take time but I can’t help wishing there was some shortcut. I guess it’s just a case of being patient, but that thought just reminds of the old joke, where two vultures are sat on a branch together, and one turns to the other and says, “Sod patience I just wanna kill something!”

Yours practising patience.
