Anal Funeral

You know a day will be unusual when it starts with a suppository.
This was not for my own kinky benefit, you understand, but I needed to have an investigation for some long term gut problems I have.

That was about 7.30

At about 8.30 a call from next door, asking if I could call in. My neighbour is elderly, infirm and stricken with cancer. Until recently she was being attended to by her Scottish friend, an equally elderly by rather fitter lady. However, this Scot had a fall a couple of weeks ago and broke her pelvis. That was on a wednesday.

The next day I went to see my neighbour, Anthea, who was naturally upset that her friend would be in hospital for several weeks as she thought at the time. This made things difficult for her since she needs a great deal of care.
Two days later I was told that this Scottish lady had died after an operation. It was a shock to me (fit on wed, dead on Fri!) and I can only imagine how much of a loss this must be to Anthea.

Today is the funeral.

Anthea is dreading it, of course, but I was unable to stay due to my appointment.

Needless to say, I missed my bus but got chatting to two old ladies at the stop who happened to be going to the same hospital. That was a good thing since I was doubtful of how to get there.

My appointment was for about 9.25 but I arrived somewhat late. Surprisingly I was seen straight away. Unfortunately the doc did little more than my own gp and I'll have to "go through the motions" (ahem) again.

Still more excitement this morning than I usually get all week.
