Have not been well enough to write in here and miserable because not even a card or telephone call from Helen since July 29th since they came.well perhaps it is not a long time to them.
Thursday last August 2nd.when Shirley came she said the left eye (the dud one) was very blooshot and eyeball "glassy"- I could not see this but for a week eye uncomfortable and Wed evening before had sharp pain in eye, lasted only a few minutes, then sore, but of course I had to ring hospital , they said come in 2pm-no transport at that short notice had to get a Strand Taxi for 1.30p.m., twice while I kept Taxi I waiting I knocked on Olive's door (Glass panel and TV on) to tell her where I was going - but she soul not open her door guess she was eating her dinner. So turned card in Hall to "I'm out" taxi £3.30 - nice young man refused to take a tip of course I had to wait for "Casualty" a kindly neighbour (cars) or sister could have taken me on Bus, but I'm on my own always. Eye Dr young made thorough examination and said he thought there was no infection probably vein break "hemorrhage" asked me to get from my Dr.list of pills etc. I was taking at he thought the blood might be thinning. 'Twas Dr Macloed and busy with baby examination so I left details with receptionist and went shopping (p.O.etc. ) and didn't wait to see Butcher, hurried no stop bac, 3/4 hour and Dr Macloed was gone, short surgery, I did want to see him, he listens and answers questions - but he left list of treatment which I forwarded to Eye Hospital (with added not- sight worse - they would not get it till Tuesday, and eventually I suppose comunicate with my Dr Jenkins will be back I guess and do nothing, came home on Thursday /4 to 6pm by ambulance (Ms Page - wife on moving relief (?)) I knocked at Oliver's door, she opened quickly, this time, do not know if she saw ambulance. I told her I knocked at 1.30 to tell her where I was going - she sai she was sleeping a lot (not at 1.30) she did say, "shall I make you a cup of tea," I said no thanks I just wanted to get upstairs, never enquired about eye or what had happened and next morning when she was going to library, she just talked about the weather (I had just been round to dust Bin!! - I have always enquired how she was after a fall - and a bad cold.
