Totally agree with all of this.

But she wasn't having any of it:D

Zag, as you are around this morning and read across some interesting books of a human biology nature, have you ever read any Harold L Klawans? My husband loves his books, though I think they are out of print now.

I keep meaning to mention them to jelly too, they would fit in well alongside of a lot of the other things he reads.

A bit random, but unusually there are quite a few second hand cheap copies at the moment so thought I'd just mention in passing in case anyone is interested. They are non-fiction and are about neurology, but in a very approachable sense.

fc that shut purse seems to have a fault with the clasp.

Hope it works out for your son..where there is a will etc .

OH's need for a trip to Cardiff was stood down at 8.30 this morning so we have a day at home, which is good as I had an unpleasant surprise on Thursday night and am feeling a little weary.

At a routine GP appt a week ago I was telling GP how well I feel, and briefly mentioned something, GP asked a few questions requested a blood test, and I left teh surgery thinking post blood test I might be sent for diagnostics, might need a referral for a routine procedure.

I opened a letter late on Thursday night which is an appointment to see a Consultant for next Weds. An NHS Consultant first appt within 2 weeks (& sent a first class)I know this is the standard pathway for cancer, the Consultant also has a sub specialty interest in this.

I look on this as ruling out sinister stuff at the earliest point which is a good thing. But I was surprised as I had no inkling that GP might be considering this and yesterday felt as flat as a pancake. I hate surpises.

Oh dear spirit. Even the ruling out is stressful.

Please keep us in the loop. If there is anything the more local np,s can do (I'm not that far really) please say.....fill the freezer, nag dd/DH, host dogs if you need overnight stays. Whatever.

Oh, Spirit. That must have been a surprise and a half. I hope that it does end up being 'just' ruling out, and that it means that things are ruled out nice and quickly.

Hope you have a good day at home with your lovely Mr Spirit (and Miss Spirit if she is around) x

I know you're au fait with the NHS but if there is anything that I can help with, please ask. I have a direct line to a few consultants for the big C.

And of course, hope it isn't! Best to you and family, especially with your last few months

I'm heading to work as a) nothing to do at home and b) I need to calm self down and not be hyperactive/jumpy/nervy

I keep telling you. He's not that bad....Makes me smile anyway. And the looks grow on one after a while.

:rotfl:

But no, you are beautiful, cleaver and lovely, there will be a queue, I guess you are just blind to it. Or its a shy queue maybe?

August bank holiday .... last likely chance of weather being good for this year.... it's traditional for everybody to take to the roads/transport and get stuck somewhere en route to the seaside.

Compulsory. It's an essential part of the culture.

Awww. At least it's quick though! Although you'd have missed it if you'd been on holiday so it seems a bizarre system to set an appointment and write rather than phoning people.

Hope it's all OK.... and, I'm there for random walks among dangerous animals if you need idle meandering nothing chat time.... except I'm NOT going in THAT field again.... nor up the lane with the barky dog.
