Dh just called, he is having a blood test next week and they are going to do lots of tests (the doc said a sort of MOT) they are testing for the ulcer and also for kidney/liver function, diabetes and more....I actually wish I could get this done myself, as I would like to know how I would score on those things.....

A massive well done to MollyPolly on her achievement - think of all the money you have saved MP!! well done you :T

I have to go for my yearly blood test, so far the last 6 years my LFT and Diabetes tests have been fine, but I do worry every time ( I am about 5 months overdue on this and now can only get my Thyroxine in one months supply so I guess I have to go soon )

Good luck to your OH, I hope everything turns out okay luvvie

( I don't know if it is because I had a break from drinking but I have a vague twinge in my liver today. Well I think it's my liver! It's on my left side? )

Your liver is on your right hand side just under the lower ribs.

Your right hand side is your stomach

Congratulations MP xxxx

Not a good day or previous evening for me, stuck on 5 thanks Fay, we seem to work in parallel without even knowing it :eek:

Too late Fay....The whips out now.;)

Today is my 18 month anniversary for being alcohol free:T
I can't believe where the time has gone.
Thought I would post Spring watch girls' post from the original thread again for those struggling...and for all the newbies.

Here you go.....

"Well, week 5 of no alcohol and I see a different person in the mirror. My eyes no longer look dull and vacant, they actually have a little sparkle and my skin doesn't look like uncooked pastry anymore. I feel that I have won a battle but not yet the war. Hope everyone else is at the point they want to be, I never want to be that person I was, I have been tempted but I just think back to what I had become. The sun is shining at the moment and I feel good and want to continue to have the sun in my life."

The war still goes on but the enemy does get weaker everyday.

Take care of you
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Wow Molly thanks for posting that. That's really inspiring, especially the uncooked pastry skin - sounds just like me! A fantastic incentive to keep AF.

And well done on 18 months wooooohooooo :T:T:T:T
