Full on day!

Day began fine.
Took dogs for a walk.
Went to surgery to make an appointment when I wasn't even out the door when a doctor called back! The minute I mentioned chest pains she demanded I go to the A&E there and then but I explained I had to take the dogs home. After promising faithfully I would go straight back, I eventually meandered in 20 minutes later where a nurse was already waiting. Next I get hooked up to an ECG thingy and that damn blood pressure thing then she was draining blood like there was no tomorrow, then she said she had to take a sample to the lab and disappeared for a full 30 minutes! I can't remember when I lay in the same spot for so long. I should have taken some photos for my blip but that did't enter my fuzzy head. Finally an different nurse appeared and said all seemed well with the old ticker much to my relief! Then after some poking and prodding he hit the jackpot, right in the middle of my sternum he pressed and almost sent me into orbit! After some consultation with the quack they thought it might be something called skeletal arthritis! I thought that's something old folks got! Can't have that, need to get my fellow blipper to mix up some of her magic paste which though tastes foul is meant to be very good.  I finally escaped A&E 2 hours later with the promise to go back for a blood pressure test tomorrow which meant changing my schedule and bringing forward my tomorrow antler deliver to today! (Don't even ask) So at 3.30 hubby dogs & I headed for Perth to deliver antlers to yet another blipper! On the way there I got a call from the damn insulation people saying they would be at my house in Uist on Wed!! Screams of frustration. When we finally reached Perth I had with the very able assistance of fellow blipper and her her fancy iPad & pen, arrange how to get to Uist before the bloody insulation man. Flights were out the question as they quoted £390 for an hours flight!!! a tenner more and I could have flown to Canada! Then tried Calmac and the dreaded Mallaig ferry, no joy full up. Uig route the same that only left the one place on the flaming Oban to Castlebay ferry and overnight wild camping on Barra ant the 7am ferry to Eriskay then drive to Uist! If this bloody insulation man doesn't appear on Wed as promised I may kill him!
Is it any wonder my frigging blood pressure is sky high!
Anyway my thanks to my Perth blipper and her lovely hubby for abely assisting me. They now know my car reg, my address and my credit card details and if I see any fancy holiudays appearing on my credit card I know where to find you!!!
