Both sound like pretty bad practice but, tbh, I don't know what their procedures should be.

They weren't joking about the 4 hour wait to see a doctor. Fairly sure I've picked up a couple of diseases in the waiting room... Mum seen by lovely Dr, everything back in where it should be now, but we know it won't stay. Only real solution is surgery, which wouldn't be great.

Mum's ct scan confirmed lung cancer (she's not smoked since WWII, but had tb in 1952). Talking leaves her breathless and she has a cough which is tiring - in truth she's permanently exhausted, but she is philosophical and realistic. The doctor was visiting her today and he is pushing for an urgent consultant appointment but as things stand mum is looking for palliative care. We'll have to see whether she reaches her century at the end of June. She's still getting to the social centre for coffee and to church, though making more use of a wheelchair rather than her walker.
She has a long-standing friend (more than 60 years friendship) also in her late 90s who lives the other side of Leicester and is housebound, so I want to arrange to take mum to visit her in the next week or so.
I'm fortunate that my sister lives locally and we're singing from the same hymnsheet. We went into Mum's bank and activated our poa yesterday (Santander are much better than Nationwide in this regard!). I'm leading support for mum on the financial side and sister on the health/welfare - playing to our strengths!
It's slightly complicated for me in that we had building work on our house (convert garage to utility and then replace kitchen) start yesterday so I feel like I've got a lot to keep on top of.
