Hospitals and Bonfires

Hi again well im still not having much luck so far this month! im starting to wonder if i was born jinxed ...I however am totally thrilled with the cooker :) hooray i managed to do some batch baking :

9 Pumpkin soups from the Halloween pumpkin
3 Vegetarian Chillies
2 Bologneise Sauces
2 Vege Tikka Curry
2 Vege Korma Curry's
2 Quorn Lasagne's
1 Quorn mince Shepherds pie
1 Vege Cottage Pie

I have some shortcrust and puff pastry in the fridge so i will be making some pies and quiches and get them frozen too, be nice to get the freezer stocked up again.

So i have been waiting for a hospital appointment for some time to have a Tonsillectomy, i finally got a date for the 5th November, seeing as my OH was working all day and couldn't get the time off to come with me i decided to get the free shuttle service that runs to our hospitals. I had to get to the the bus station which is a 10 minute walk, then get a bus to the hospital which is less than 5 mins away and cost me blooming £1.70 but i had to pay it so that was that, that got me at our local Burnley Hospital, and i changed here for Blackburn Hospital where i was having my operation. Supposedly the buses from Burnley were running every 15 mins to Blackburn so arriving at ten past ten i had plenty of options available, or so i thought. I checked the internet timetable before i left home but according to the Hospital it had been changed so i then had to wait an hour and fifteen minute before the next shuttle service, my appointment was at 12 noon and the bus got me there at five past twelve.. all was well in the end but what a start to the day... oh yes it gets better my friends.. i got checked in, all the relevant questions asked, weighed, changed into gown, sat around for a couple of hours, the surgeon and anaesthetist came and spoke to me, put the frighteners up me even more than i was expecting, let me tell you i wasn't looking forward to this operation anyway!! a little more time passes then the surgeon came back and said sorry Mrs C-F we need to send you home as your Thyroid is not controlled yet and having surgery will be very dangerous...what?? was my response, and i went home.. i was furious about this, why on earth even give me an appointment if they already knew my Thyroid was still not functioning properly, i had already had two days off for this so now i am down two days pay and im back to work this afternoon..sigh..so im back to the waiting game...fingers crossed im not waiting too long i cant cope with all the Hospital drama needless to say the OH was fuming when i text to say they are sending me home, thankfully she managed to get out of work and pick me up at Blackburn..phew.. came home kettle on and my Son walked through the door from School, extremely pleased to see me, and produced me with a home made food tech shortcake biscuit with choc chips in.. blooming lovely..i must say.. you did good Mst J.

Luckily because i was sent home it meant that i could go to the local bonfire with my little family and the in-laws, it was a fantastic evening, bonfire and fireworks were splendid, it really cheered me up..in the end it was a great day :)
