HONOURABLY DISCHARGED..

Why and what? Well, if you've been following my Blog for some time, you may remember that today was D DAY! D as in declaration.. as to what, if anything, the MRI Scan of her head had found.

"Nothing nasty", that was what her kind ENT ~ ear, nose & throat ~ specialist Mr. Benjamin was very happy to tell her this morning.

He took her through to have another hearing test and to make sure her new hearing aids are doing their job and he said, as her left her with the audiologist, "I am discharging you and will write to your GP, I am happy that everything is as it should be, it is just that your right ear is behaving as if it is a bit older!"

How about that! And she was discharged by Guy's Dental Hospital as well on Monday! And lovely Margaret, her optician, said yesterday that her glasses prescription has only changed a tiny bit, so that was good too! We won't talk about the test for the edging of her sight.. those results were dire but only to be expected of someone with advanced Glaucoma.

So yippee is what I say, she said it too when she passed by the two nurses who asked her if she had a follow-up date, they smiled and said "great news for a happy week end" and it is, is surely is.

I know it is a strange time to go to bed but she has been a bit wound up by this scan, as you would be too. She's had a medical appointment every day this week and has just home home from Singing With Dementia in Streatham, so with a bag of the mini dark chocolate salami that she found in the freezer.. slurp.. we are off to bed to play chase the grape and catch the nut!

And we say "Thank you very much" to those friends of ours who have given their moral support over the past few weeks and especially after hearing the news about the Glaucoma last Saturday.

GeeGee Parrot.

PostScript: The honourably bit is because she didn't blub when Mr.Benjamin gave her the great news this morning.. she just got a bit 'wet-eyed'.
