Well if I *had* to miss an appointment, it was for good reason

Ah, OK, I finally managed to actually miss a hosptial appoinment (one to chat and decide whether I need to stay on insulin, reduce it, switch to pills, or rely on diet and exercise) due to unexpected life getting in the way... But at the time I should have been getting on the bus for Harrogate from Leeds (where I'd been at the Armouries), I was actually, along with the boatman, pulling a young woman out of he Leeds canal and into the boat that I was a passenger in. And then, obviously, giving her my coat and looking after her while having to wait for cops and ambulance to arrive.

So now I just hope Harrogate's diabetic clinic are understanding and don't bounce me back to the GP or make me wait three months or anything.

Oh, well, I guess I missed it for the best of reasons, I was where I was needed to be, rather than where I needed be... And now I need a drink cos I'm a little bit "eep" about the women in water connection.
