I took HID into the Nuffield hospital this morning to have a lense fitted in her right eye. We were told to be there for 8.30 and that her operation would take about a hour.
After arriving slightly early , HID me and our dog sat in the car waiting.Then just as HID goes in, our dog takes one of her irregular seizures [fits].

So i ask the receptionist where the nearest vet practice is and to phone a taxi as i can't drive with the dog in that state.

Taxi hack arrives and as i'm getting in this guy says you're supposed to say you have a dog when booking i can't take dogs ,I'm allergic to them

Now i'm holding our dog which is a very small Shih tzu, called Millie over my shoulder tightly, she does not cast and will not savage anyone even in this distressed state.
So i'm afraid i lost it with this guy, i may have swore when telling him that i would sue his arse of if he didn't take me to the vets[ which is only about 2 miles away] immediately which he did ,after me growling at him.

We arrive and of course the Vet has not arrived yet , i explain to the vets receptionist, the dogs history of fits and ask for the medication normally used. Sorry we can't issue that without the Vets authorisation, i'm starting to go red again.

I suggested she calls our own vet to confirm the medication needed, which she eventually does and hands it over after charging £10 .
By this time the dog is completely knackered, but still in danger of fitting again . so i had to administer the medication , which is not straightforward i won't go into details.
Were all back home now HID wearing a patch over one eye , the dog doped up on diazepam and me dying for a drink that i can't have, because i'm now a taxi driver for the next few days. Sorry for the rant.
 
Some 'body' is taking revenge for the comment about SiL needing roots done!

Stay off the brandy! Not only is it better that way - and safer for all drivers - but you are less likely to end up with a dog with an eye-patch and HID dosed up on Diazepam!

A few days with the dosed up dog and the one-eyed OH (as if that's not the norm) and you'll need it!

Nice pun! :rolleyes:

Hope it all works out!

I had similar last week! Came off the bike in shorts/tee shirt :rolleyes:, so scabs all over knees from road/tank burn. On the way home I sneezed and lost a crown!

And my new Driver hasn't arrived yet either!!

I'm glad everything worked out well in the end. Can I ask why you thought it OK to have a pop at the driver though? He's exactly right in what he said, what were you planning to sue him for? If he is really that allergic he may not be able drive the vehicle safely.

He wasn't allergic for long was he , i was upset and i a hurry . the taxi was specifically booked as an emergency to go to the vets what the F did he think HE WOULD BE TAKING TO A VETS.

BTW the cab was a black hack with a glass divider between front and back with intercom speakers to speak to the driver.

Update- Last Friday my wife had a new varifocal lens implanted in her left eye so thats both eyes now done , [1 to go ]
This time everything went smoothly , and the dog was fine this time too.

But i nearly had a fit paying £6000.00 for 2 new lenses.:sbox:
