To the Royal Infirmary this morning for a once over following the shoulder op in November...

It took just over an hour to get there, door to door (a ten minute walk, followed by two buses)...

Then, despite arriving bang on 10:25, my appointment time, I sat and read ladies' gossip magazines for around another hour before being called...

I was in the doctor's room for all of three minutes - just enough time to remove my coat and shirt, lift my arms forward and over my head, sideways and over my head and then reach as far up my back as possible with each arm (which is not very far I can tell you) - then put my shirt and coat back on...

"Desperate Housewives" rounded off a pleasant evening...
