    [​IMG] Morning Helen Woo & Walnut. Well had a busy baking day with m daughter in law yesterday, great fun!! Lots of goodies for Christmas now... [​IMG]
    [​IMG] Woo I echo what Walnut was saying about Gypsy catching fox mange, our little Jack Russell who has sadly left us from old age, now she's over he rainbow bridge... :D She caught fox mange once & it took months to clear it up & her skin was never the same afterwards either. Very unpleasant when she had it though poor old thing.. So be careful Woo.. ;)

    Helen, sorry to hear things are not as good as you had hoped, but again I agree with the others, keep the pressure on the Docs... [​IMG]

    Hi Penny, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr is all I can say.. :eek: My friend who is about three hrs away from you, had some time off of work due to the weather..!!

    Well have a good day all, whatever you may be doing.. [​IMG]

    Ello guys

    This has been one hell of a day so far.

    I arrive at my temping job for the day, South West Ambulance Services, I'm in the IT department and i tell you, it is just like the channel 4 program the It crowd "Hello IT - have you tried turning it off and on again? Well is it plugged in? No problem mate, bye."

    And they were teasing, not realising they'd get a girl [whole room full of men] and gave me a load of work to type out in a 'there, that'll keep the girlie busy for the day' type attitude, but i finished it in 20 minutes. So now i have nothing to do, so i've been told to surf the net all day until someone finds me a job to do!!

    Nevermind, i dont mind being paid to forum watch and nick their choccies form the christmas tin, but then the fire alarm went off! Someone had imploded a shredder.

    And now, i'm alone in this office playing on the computer because they've gone to their christmas dinner.

    Mental. I'd have brought a book but i didn't know i'd have a day of nothingness.

    Morning guys and girls.

    Woo don't you mind going to the dentist then?
    I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose (at least with my teeth anyway!)I don't suffer from any fear of the dentist but then I'ave got pretty good teeth!

    Whiley my last job was in a section of all men too, they 'took care of me' being the only woman there but was always telling me to slow down as it didn't look good for them with me clearing my workload while they still had mountains of work to do. I hated not being busy so most of the time I cleared their work as well as my own.... of course they didn't mind that!

    Marley I too managed to do so baking yesterday although I had to sit down for most of it but I did drag Bob into mixing my icing for me, poor guy got a right sweat on!

    Went once again to the doctors yesterday and he was amazed that the specialist put me down for physio he's not convinced it will work for me....did I tell you all that last time he said I was taking too much morphine?

    Well I told him I was taking it only at night now so I thought he might have taken me off it but no I now have two more lots of drugs to take!

    Not bad for a doctor that wanted me to be cutting down on the drugs!

    Bob couldn't wait to see 'Uncle' Tom so we went yesterday, I didn't get time to even make that flan.

    Found out his poor wife's doctor thinks she has a prolapsed disc so she is going through all the tests that I had I only hope she gets the right treatment to allow her more ease getting around.

    Poor Tom's not in the best of health he has had a heart attack since we last saw him and an operation on his poor swollen eyes which are not better than they were before he had the blooming operation!

    Time flew many hugs and kisses was given out good job Bob doesn't get jealous and it was nice to see Tom laughing once again looking forward to seeing more of them in the new year.
    Helen.xxx.

    Lovely dog Penny he only needs the brandy barrel around is neck then you could set up a rescue service in the mountains,Helen you need the scans to find out what exactly the problem is with your back then you can find out yourself what treatments are available,regards to visiting friends and relatives I have found when you see someone you haven't seen for ages they seem to have grown older(glad I haven't) :D have a safe day everyone, don't overdo it Whiley.

    Blimey Helen, we should make a doctors visitings diary :D

    I'm afraid i have a bit of news too. I was a naughty girl and kept it to myself for a while, but it looks like i'm going to need all the support i can get.
    I can't explain it very well but i'll do my best - i'm sure Sarrac will help me clear up the details if i trip over along the way.

    Okay, so when you are very very 'late', suffering from cramps, weak bladder, tender boobs, going off tastes, you name it, it somewhat points in that direction does it not?

    Well after 4 tests they were all negative. So i went to the doctor to see if he could explain why i'm feeling like this.

    He seems to think either i am pregnant, but my ovulation was slightly late therefore it wouldn't have shown up on tests yet, orr, theres a different kind of mass down there. Which is entirely possible, because cysts and cancer of this kind is in my family. There is of course a possibility that theres nothing there, and i'm having a hormone hiccup, but he doesn't seem to think so due to the number and strength of my symptoms.

    I'm a little concerned, i mean, a baby we would adore!! We'd love a child, times not right now in a personal way, but situation says theres not much concern. But if its something that needs to be taken out, and damage is done to bits and pieces in the process, my families fertility is rocky anyway... and this scares me.

    I know its only speculation just now, but i am worried, and the bit that hurts the most is that i cant tell my mum because shes having her own personal problems right now [leaving my dad, but dad is, erm, well without another way to put it, violent.] and he doesn't know this, so shes sneaking out basically, and i cant tell more family because i dont want them to have to keep secret from her. That being said, i know i should tell her, but i'm not going to until i have some foundation test results.

    Which leads me on, being going to be prodded and poked, and have pee, blood, swabby nasty tests today, and hopefully come back a little better educated.

    I'm aweful for thinking several steps ahead, but it just so happens this is in an area that already worries me greatly.
    That being said, i wont let it ruin my christmas - no alcohol, i'll lget high on late nights, chocolate and happiness instead!

    Just needed to share news. It got to apoint i coudln't handle it by myself anymore, and theres only so much wailing at Darren that actually fair, hes scared as well, though trying to keep a level head.
