Random Irritations

One week on and the “kidney stones” line seems to be complete nonsense. She’s been in hospital most days since then in total agony and they just seem to want to fob her off. She had a CT scan which wasn’t clear enough so they wanted her to come back in today for more but now they’ve told her over the phone that they don’t think she merits another CT scan and antibiotics will probably fix whatever is wrong.

They haven’t even landed on a definitive diagnosis! WHAT THE HELL??
 
Airlines. How can it possibly cost over 700 Euros to fly one way from Amsterdam to Norwich but I can get a return flight using the same outbound flight for 408 Euros?
 
People that walk along glued to their phones not paying attention to anything else.
Have we really reached the point where we can't put the phone away for the 5 minute walk to the next destination?

Add to that people that are clearly too nervous behind the wheel of a car to be even remotely safe drivers. Stuck behind one this morning that braked everytime a car came the opposite direction, to the point where they completely stopped on a narrower road (narrower but still plenty of room for vans and LGVs to use it without issue). A journey that takes me 15 minutes every other morning took me 25 this morning because of that fud. If you are that nervous/uncertain, DON'T DRIVE IT'S BLOODY DANGEROUS.

And breathe.
 
Woken up at 4:45am and told to stop snoring! HID then went to sleep and started the usual tooth grinding and talking in her sleep. I thought stuff it, I usually just turn over when she starts, "Will you stop talking in your sleep!"

I am now bruised.

That sounds like someone has looked at this from a cost point of view.
I'd be down there telling someone that if the first scan was unclear then it amounts to useless and thus as if one had not been done at all. So, another is required to ascertain what they were looking for in the first place.
What you are describing is just not good enough.
Best of luck, and in any event I hope she improves soon.
 
They've already got the stigma of living next door to Homer. At least they probably got £20K off the asking price.
