Not the dead ones.

Dead ones usually lie down rather than sit up!

Hope appointment goes well.


?

Yeah, was ok.

Indeed, GP agrees I do need this guy, yet another consultant. The ct scan I was to have he recommends to be postponed, because its likely I'll be having extensive scans etc for this guy, so he says it makes sense for one set of scans that suit two consultants rather than two doses of exposure. ( especially as one might provide answer for the other in fact).

We are told how often gps dole out anti depressants. Today I said, that uncharacteristic ally for me I found I was simply not really feeling able to 'cope' any more, and explained that I wasn't just tearful seeing him now, I was tearful pretty much daily and thinking in a fairly non -me way a lot of the time. I even suggested that, contrary to my preference it might be I need some drug help. He suggested not to because he doesn't want more drugs in my system.

I asked about coming off the second anti seizure pills ( a known depressant) and he said he'd take advice.

Afterwards I left and needed to get some thing from the chemist, I went back to
The car with DH, ( who was going to wait with dog dog who had been on the car, then left them to walk to wards the chemist. I collapsed in the street and was unable to get up my self up for a while. usually I'm fine wonder I'm down I giggle ( it makes me laugh) and get back up. But limbs felt weak, body felt sore and, I just had no petrol left in me , no fight.

I went back to the car in stead of going to the chemist. So I'll try that tomorrow instead I guess, or maybe this afternoon.

I'm curious about that. Surely Radiotherapy is offered to kill off any stray cells that weren't cut out. Therefore wouldn't they need zapping asap, just in case they decided to spread? Hopefully it means you get only a mild dose as the number of cells is expected to be few.

Well that's what I thought. As the specialist has had about 7 years longer at medical school than me, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Hope they can find the right kind of help for you.

Wish we could come and do something to help. We went to DD's school summer fair on Saturday. She has bought a couple of things that she wants to give you. I am privately not convinced that they will appeal to the kind of person who like original artwork rather than mass produced stuff, but they are well intentioned. I am not sure whether she wants to post them to you or wait until we can visit.

They will.

I or fir will be calling to arrange the appointment with new consultant today. ( this is where private cover helps most really, we can act quickly when adviced)

I explained to GP I didn't see me doing very well over the next period of time we were talking about without some intervention or change of drug routine. What we have agreed is to touch base in four weeks. If I get no answers then I will remove myself from the meds having informed my GP. At least that way we will see if its them or me,

They will be well received, I am very touched she thought of me/ us.

Kiwi is going for a clip on Wednesday, I'll send you that recipe:o and before and after pics for dd of the fluff ball.

If I just had some energy to do stuff I think it would help. I feel the chronic lack of endorphins I think. . I have desire to be physical and not ability, this is both frustrating but I think it means my body chemistry isn't getting what it needs in the way of natural highs.

No more soil to move either.

So, radiotherapist tomorrow. It's one of the scary ones. Surgery was ok because you sleep through it and then feel so crap afterwards you can't worry. Radiotherapy is one of the ones where you go places with scary signs.

Good luck for tomorrow. All my fingers are crossed.

I think that they only start radiotherapy after you've healed from surgery, so there is normally a longer window of time between the two than you expect.

Good luck, Generali.

Lydia and her children are lovely. I call her daughter the sunshine girl, because she really is light and laughter and energy and in her short life has done well to be so. She is very like her mother, but with lots more energy! Her brother is a lovely boy and nobodies fool. If only HE felt as half as good about him self as the impression he makes he'd be an extremely big headed young man. As it is, his lack of ego adds to his charm, but not his contentment. . He's not unlike Lydia, but in a very different way.
