Late reporting in today.
Very early start and I have been up since 0500. Weather down to Glasgow varied from heavy rain to very heavy rain. The return trip varied quite a bit and parts were completely dry.
My right foot got a lot of exercise from sitting in the front passenger seat but not actually driving. Cannot really complain as son is a good driver with lots of miles driven over the years. Very tiring as a passenger tho'.
We stopped at a chain place I had better not name and had a cup of hot water which had been waved in front of a coffee bean.
Glasgow motorways are a nightmare as I have not driven them for some years and all roads seemed choked with fast moving traffic.
Royal Infirmary visit done but not dusted. A nightmare of a place for a stranger and lots of walking down long corridors.
It seems my choked up aortic valve will kill me but the alternative replacement may kill me. Interesting choice so opted for the replacement as perhaps being less bad. Open heart surgery is out as that would certainly kill me. Waiting list is about 6 months and a pacemaker has to be fitted first before they attempt to shove a plastic valve into place via an artery.
Another of the penalties of getting old.
