Blood bit is further down where the blue writing is ..... this post was created over 2 days
And there goes another week. I’ve been a good girl taking
care of me and so far there is nothing to report on the Haematologist front. The
next appointment is on August 16th at 09:40am - a month tomorrow and
as Gareth reminded me is also the day our holiday starts. Fortunately all we
need to do is drive down the M4 to get to Watchett and being there for 3-4pm is
infinitely do-able after the appointment. Another bonus for deciding to stay
home this year J
The weekend was nice and relaxed, a little Oxygen therapy,
some shopping, dog walking, the obligatory weekend Rib Of Beef on the BBQ
followed by England winning the World Cup (cricket) in one of the most
incredible games I have seen in my life. It really was one on the last ball of
the Super Over. Edge of the seat, nail biting stuff and just to add a little
spice – I had £1 on England to win J
(my idea of what constitutes gambling is pretty pathetic)
I’m also a very short haired brunette now (dammit video …..
will sort it) I had my hair cut on Friday and decided that it looked pretty crap
in boring blondness for a little while I even considered jet black hair but the
traumatised memories of 15 year old me with black permed hair looking like a
bad Kevin Keegan drag act reigned that impulse in J
Dog care for the wedding at the end of the month is sorted –
it’s confirmed and paid for and Megan the lady who is taking care of them is
lovely so we can relax and just look forward to it.
I’m going back to my 16:8 eating regime properly this week,
with no cigarettes and almost no booze this should be pretty easy to manage. I’m
sitting here at my desk at work toying with the idea of making my 8 hours that
I can eat 12:00-20:00 today which will allow me to have lunch and dinner ….. I’m
not entirely sure a cheese sandwich and a packet of crisps at lunch time is
going to help in this effort though J
AAAND it’s now Tuesday – I started typing this yesterday and
never got round to hitting the ‘post’ button
Something different has happened in my dull, dull existence now
…..
it’s got me more than a little alarmed.
I’ve had a call from the Dunedin Spire Hospital this morning
saying I need to come in for an ultrasound. It’s an abdominal ultrasound that
is being done, but the request was for it to be performed by a specific person
who I couldn’t see until next Wednesday -
not helped that I know what her specialisation is and Gareth’s been googling
and shared what he found and has (not literally) scared the shit out of me.
Now I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 11.20am to get
it over and done with.
Message left for Dr N’s secretary to call me back ASAP – I want
to know what’s being looked for and where we are on results so far – all of a
sudden that appointment with Dr N on August 16th seems much too far
away L
