Mission

A little less action, a little more conversation

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

Upon arriving at Mrs R, she informed me that her neighbour eventually replied and got the shopping for her.

She however ask me if I could help her to reschedule a hospital appointment as well as trying to call her GP.

Being there already I of course said I could. Once inside Mrs R house, I straight away saw why she has difficulties contacting those places. HER PHONE.

She has a old dial up phone. Most places having an automatic system before being able to speak to someone, she cannot access the option needed.

After a few calls and plenty of hold (crap) music the hospital appointment was cancelled and the GP contacted but unable to get a same day call back for Mrs R.

Once this was done I've bid farewell to Mrs R and went on my way home.
