emergency

Over the weekend I printed up this handy list of emergency numbers for Sevilla/Andalucía. One is now up on the fridge door, I also printed two more wallet-size ones for me and the flatmate. The question is… why have I never done this before?? I mean, I pretty much remember that 112 is the general emergency number, but depending on the emergency calling direct could save some very important possibly live saving minutes without needing to have 112 redirect me. And so now I just hope neither Peter or I have to use this.

adios august

Well okay, I know it’s not over quite yet as there are still three August days to come next week… BUT I am booked to start working again Friday next (Sept 2) so this is my final “week off”.  And all I can say about that is eeeep!

ouch - again

Yes, it’s back, dammit. My old nemesis Heretofore Unidentified Abdominal Pain. Started on Sunday-Monday and has been getting progressively worse, though still not as bad as the previous episode (a quick search here tells me it was in October 2019 – you see, this blog does have its uses sometimes). Same place as always, starting in the “dodgy area” they keep CT scanning every six months (see lightning bolts) and radiating down to my hip bone. And now it’s getting to the point where it hurts when I breathe (and I can hardly stop doing that!) so I’m going to get in touch with oncology. I have a pending appointment with them but was waiting until I get the last blood test results to confirm it. Meanwhile… well, nothing. Just carrying on.
