Thanks Bob

So I've been referred to the breast clinic which should come through in the next 2 weeks so we will see what happens. I've got to go for an x-ray on my hand as she thinks it's a bony growth rather than a ganglion so will need shaving off if it's pressing on a nerve - yuck!

Not happy with the doc though - I booked a double appt as there was a few things I wanted to go through but the doctor refused to talk about more than those 2 things as she said 2 appointments is 2 problems and she didn't have time to listen to any more :eek: I wouldn't mind so much but the 2 appointments should have been over 20 mins and I was in there less than half that!

I've booked another double appointment for Monday morning with a different doctor so hopefully I'll actually get my medication review!

My better mood yesterday didn't last very long - I slept fairly well last night but within minutes of waking up this morning I was crying in pain. I've held off with the painkillers up until now as I had a couple of meetings this morning but I can't take it anymore so I'm sat desperately wanting to take my tramadol but knowing that will mean I'm of use nor ornament for the rest of the day/night.

Saying that I still feel ok in myself, just drained and tired mostly. OH was super late home last night and while he was out I pretty much ate everything we had in the house back to healthier eating today though!

Love to you Kirsty - hope you feel better soon xxx

I have just read your entire diary, and just wanted to say how much hope it has given me for my own journey.

I hope you start feeling better soon, and the doctors are more helpful!

Thank you all I'm feeling a bit better today with my stomach. Not too bad pain wise which is a bonus.

My breast clinic and mammogram appointment has now come through for next Wednesday which has freaked me out as it's quicker than I expected. I wish they'd be as quick with my other problems!

Work has been horrendous today. I'm taking my break very late as I managed 5 mins to PAD earlier but other than that I haven't stopped since 7.30 and I've still got a list as long as my arm - I have a pile of risk assessments and method statements to do tonight as I'm out at yet more meetings tomorrow to sign contracts for another new client (the third this week :eek: apparently we need to stop being so successful!) I'm starting to interview for another administrator next week but I have no idea how I'm going to find the time to train them!

On a cheerier note it is payday so I've made a payment to MBNA card which take it UNDER 5K!!!!! :j:j Not by much, but enough! it also takes my total debt to £17500.00, meaning I need to pay another £1500.00 by my birthday if I want to hit my target of 16K by the time I'm 30....hmmmm. Best get planning how to do that! Although I will have paid over £1000 since 18th Dec as of tomorrow

Well done with the payments Kirsty. Easier said than done but try not to worry too much about your appointment. Better to know what you're dealing with, and it's most likely nothing.

Thanks ccl, I'm doing my best not to think about it to be honest.

I don't really want to tell OH about my appt until it's over but I know he'll be mad! He knows I've got to have it but he's expecting a few weeks time, and he will try and take the day off and drive me there and I'd rather just go during my lunch break, get it done and go back to work and not think about it. That sounds terrible doesn't it? It's not that I don't appreciate the support but I don't want to make a big deal about it. I'd like him to come to the appointments about my stomach, but those are the ones he isn't really interested in! We are a fickle pair!

Well done on being sub 5k on the MBNA card Kirsty. Also sorry to hear the doctors were so rubbish. A double appointment should be kept and tthey shouldn't have rushed you.
