Things all went a bit t*ts up and I ended up being in the hospital and now I have one Ovary.
I shall call it Kurt, as the other looked a bit like Walter Matthau when it was removed. It just seems to fit.
I am off work for the duration. Not even guessing when I am going back.
DD2 has the pot off her leg, hurrah, however is walking like an extra off the thriller video. Shes dragging her foot somewhat, worrying when we have the Disney jollyday looming. This may be like cripples united, the sunshine bus has pulled up...
My granny was from Balloch, she waxed lyrical about the area.
I promise to check back more regularly. I need to get back into it but I have felt so rotten. I cried like a girl about ironing shirts.
Also seeing a psychotherapist about my panic attacks. I have a new level of drama, I can walk into sainsburys and panic, for no reason. Its quite impressive until i am sick.
Now I dont know about anyone elses shops, but a woman randomly hoying up isnt popular.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Hey chick,
Sorry just caught up with the recent events - sorry to hear about the ovary (I realise that sounds a bit odd). Hopefully now the pain will get better, and that will be one less thing to worry about.
I shall be staying away from women vomitting in Sainsburys.

I find the flower buckets are dead handily placed.
well, its just an ovary, and to be blunt, I wasnt intending to avail myself of its services again.
Ive some other pending medical blarb underway, but I am disinterested in womens bits and quite fearful of some of the conversations people are having around me. However, there could be more stuff taken out, and I shall have room for an on board coffee machine or a sandwich toaster where bits used to be.
Ill get over it, its just because I am mad.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
hiya hun :kisses:
good to see you back, also sorry to hear things went a bit wrong, but just glad you are ok about it all (and thankfully have kids already)
Why don't you just get your shopping online for a while & get your OH to get the top up shop?! When i was at my lowest this time last year, i also had panic attacks everytime i went somewhere busyI know how you're feeling and it's not nice. Be kind to yourself and rest up

Sorry to hear you not been well. Hope you start feeling better soon x keep your feet up and rest, even though I didn't lose an ovary I had to have a mass taken off which was benign when I was 18 after my daughter. It took a short while to get over op but took ages for hormones to settle down again which was weird.

Here we go a again!!!:mad: DFD Oct 2016 hopefully!!!0 -
Aww thanks everyone for all the lovely messages.
I am alright really, I am seeing someone about the panics, probably hormone liked tbh, and I need to keep going out so I am not doing avoidance. I do try to go with at least one of the kids and preferably the hubby.
Cleaned out the bathroom drawers, and I have found a mud pack. I love a mud pack, I feel gorgeous after one.
Probably need a whole body wallow.
Went to town today with the hubby then watched us get completely outplayed by brighton (concentrating on the league...) and am tired but pleased we went for a browse and only bought minor items - what was important was the going out, after all, I need to get back to work and whatnot.
But who am I kidding, I am sick in a flower bucket at the supermarket when unaccompanied at the moment, there is work to do.
Paid another 1.5k off my debts this month AND am goign on my jolly bobs.
Waiting of more money with PPI reclaims, I have 6.5 k I am waiting of, imagine what i could do with that?
Mediocre second hand car - boob job and a week in Portugal.
haha no, I will pay more off the debt and get my safety buffer.
Right I am going to be a good girl and go do a couple of surveys, you know what I am a lucky girl...
I have lovely family, a husband who is a keen cook (mind I like to cook but I prefer wine so I will sit and drink and watch like a culinary voyeur..)
I have fabulous pets, a couple of big dogs who are softies and child centric... and a whole shoal of cats who are a bit mad, but are fat fluffy things....
I have a good support network on here where I can share my brain contents, and be at one with the lunatic fringe.
Oh, by the way...
Once I have got this C word incident well and truly put behind me, or if I have to live alongside it for the rest of my days, its immaterial. I am taking up running again (I was a county runner in my younger days however it was scuppered by a combination of heavy metal music, cheap lager and a fascination with men) I shall be able to lose myself in a positive action and have a thing to do.
I tried gardening but everything died.
OK those surveys, and all your diaries...
watch out world!
ten days to disney, then I need to look for my next holiday!Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Aww Skint :lovethougso lovely to read a positive post like that. You've done so well, you should be dead proud of yourself! And still paying off debts rather than splurging! You deserve a gold medal
I'd love to take the kids to Disney I think after i'm debtfree that will my first aim....before ds1 is too old for it all :rotfl: (in fact he probably thinks he is already!)

Just caught up. Big hugs for the op ((((((((()))))))))) hopefully you will feel loads better.
I can't believe your Granny comes from Balloch. It's such a small world !! Balloch is my loacl watering hole area and I used to work in Balloch castle years ago. I love that place. I walk to it in the summer. I have a hankering to live there if I cannot get further up the lochside. I am madly in love with a house in Balmaha but at 850k I am slightly short lol. I was in Balmaha last night with my friends and I love it there too. Just hate where I live but must admit when I drive down the road in the morning and look up and see Loch Lomond and the Ben towering over it I do feel blessed and I could never ever live in a city thats for sure. Keep well and chin up xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Aww cheers, my holiday to eurodisney was paid from the remains of the honeymoon money, we saved for a year following our wedding.
We got a thomas cook deal for the honeymoon and we got disney for a song, 40% off and free kids places.
And mit, its a small world indeed. what a fabulous house that must be at 850k.
I shall be back later, as I need to pick my kiddywinks up. Struggling with a stinking head cold and a bad case of the mehs!
hope you are all having a lovely monday...
