A while back the red-robed cancer angel mentioned the Macmillan Nurses to Mrs Dragon as maybe able to give us some support; apparently I have to ask for the referral which I duly did and after a week our assigned Mac Nurse rocked up to the dragon's lair*
First surprise to me was that I always thought they were some independent charity; seemingly not as mine had an NHS id badge. The rest came as no real surprise, a basic bit of touchy-feely "so how do you feel"? cod psychology and about an hours worth of waffle on matters me and the Mrs has largely figured out ourselves. Well meaing I guess but helpful? Not really.
One god thing that came out of it was at least she gave the oncologist a poke (he'd been off on his hols apparently as I'm probably bottom of his in-tray) and so I now have an appointment in a couple of weeks. Hardly speedy but not too slow that I could kick up a fuss.
* we have lairs, not dens; don't believe everything you see on the tellybox.
"lairs, not dens" made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's not too late to pitch your latest idea and see if they "bite"?
Do you think you will sort out a bucket list in the near future? (I wonder what might be on/in it)
Cran says squeeeooo and wishes you the best :)
