Mum had taken today off of work because I had a hydro appointment in Taunton. We were also going to collect some more of my belongings from Jennie and Lou’s house. We left the house at 9 am as my appointment was at 10 am. It was when we were half way along the A303 that we realised it would take much longer to get there than originally expected, the Ilminster Bypass was closed!
Traffic going along the small lanes through the tiny rural town was hell. We were stuck in solid traffic for 2 hours! I phoned the hospital and warned them that we would be a little bit late and they said it was fine, I could be seen whenever I arrived.
We arrived at the hospital at 11 am, an hour later than my appointment, and surprise, surprise, they couldn’t fit me in. I changed my address with the woman on reception whilst I was there. She was pretty useless and I asked her to arrange a referral form for my physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to be transferred to Yeovil hospital. It took much persuasion before she even wrote it on a tiny post-it note! I just have to hope and pray that the letter gets sent to the correct address, if it was sent at all.
After the palaver in the hospital, we slowly made our way over to see Jennie and to collect my stuff. We were just sat there chilling out with a cup of tea. It was lunch time before Lou decided to get the stuff downstairs, so we loaded the car (completely jam packed) and then stopped at McDonalds on the way back home.
When we got home, I unpacked all of the bin bags full of my clothes and completely filled the wardrobe!
