    Less than 3 weeks after surgery to remove her cyst DD1 woke this morning with chronic pain.....

    She is heartbroken - she had hoped surgery would be the end of it....

    So now we have to persuade the GP to give her the pill - ( they keep refusing on the grounds of her mobility - but she is pretty mobile now.... but we will have to convince them.....)
    CY I could have wept when I read your post. That poor, poor child. As one who has a long relationship with pain, I really do feel for her.

    PS I think I might have a problem :o - throwing stuff out makes me feel quite sick....but I like the space it leaves, and recycling makes me feel slightly better.
    Come on Roundtuit you can do it. Just keep repeating the Wolfy mantra.... "If in doubt, turf it out".:D

    I feel sick.:( Got a letter from the hossy today, with an appt to see the rheumy on 13th Nov. I was convinced they'd signed me off and not bothered to tell me, as I should have had an appt back at the beginning of Sept, but nothing came. So GP said she'd put a foot behind them. Now Mr LW has to beg to have an Early shift the day of my appt, as he's not allowed any leave in Nov and Dec that hasn't already been approved (which is why he's using up his leave this coming week, so as not to lose it). I also have to go and have a blood test urgently, so that the results will be available when I see the rheumy, and anyone who knows me knows that I have a severe needle-phobia; so hoping this can be done this week while Mr LW is on leave. Why is having a chronic illness so effin' complicated??:( *cries*

    Have been to another Open Morn at a school - another one we didn't like,

    Sorry to hear that Helen, have you found any you like? I need to do my online application this weekend.

    Only laundry and tidying done here today. Have done an hour in the garden, sorted a bit of the log store with DH and taken DS1 to the shops to get clothes for work, lots of bargains so he is happy and managed to get him shoes too (very difficult feet we all have).

    Dinner next and deleting a few emails then an evening of strictly.

    On here to avoid strictly, sorry strictly fans. I've taken the dogs for another very long walk, made the yorkshires, some carrot soup and we've had tea.

    Just having a cuppa, will then need to groom the dogs.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Thanks Helen.:A

    He's going to email the guy doing next month's rota - someone has to have the early shift that day, so he's going to ask that it be him. I really do want him along, as I'm terrified of hospitals and medical bods generally, and the rheumy is quite a bully and can easily reduce me to tears.:( (F'r instance, when I asked how on earth to manage the chronic fatigue, her answer was "Just go away and live with it".)

    What I may need is an escort for the blood test, at Great Holm Surgery, if they can't fit me in when he can come with me; this will, however, also involve carting a semi-conscious Wolf home and depositing me gently on my sofa; the last time they put a needle anywhere near me, I collapsed outside the surgery afterwards.:eek:

    Anyways, I'll know more re that on Monday - we're going to pop up there first thing Monday morning and see how the land lies.;)

  • Hello :wave:
    I have been awol all week :o It has been another busy one. Kitchen is tidy, and LR. I have been keeping on top of things (with much help from DH :T)

    I had someone round on Friday to look at my planning & learning journeys so I can get accredited. She was happy with what I was doing, so I must be doing something right :p
    DH was called to a meeting at work re his future. They had been told that they will be getting rid of their section, and to look for other jobs withing the organisation. they would be given preference over other applicants, blah blah blah. He thought they were going to present him with a few options to go for, etc. Instead they informed him that they are moving him to a small team working on some project. He is gutted :( He is a manager, and his strengths are managing people. His weakness is project work! At least he is based in the same building, which is local. He was so upset yesterday :(

    Today, DH has been keeping busy by tidying up the garden :) I have been to art, washed & dried 2 loads and cleaned the shower. We also did a food shop. Oh, and I managed to fling an old buggy (for £20 :D) and the front windows are clean (thanks to the the window cleaner ;))

    Tomorrow I need to do some studying (I sound like a broken record!)

    Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them
  • just back after a day out at twin lakes with DH DS2 and DD3 - lovley day

    CY i really hope that something can can sorted out to help your poor DD with the pain and discomfort she is experiencing

    hugs to all who need/want one

    off for a glass of wine and feet up
    SPC~12 ot 124

    In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind
