Appiontments After Appiontments

Last week i went along for my appointment with a nurse for assessment for colonscopy which will be done at Whitechapple Hospital.I tried to get out of it,but it seems something was detected that needs looking into and i will get the appointments sometime in July, so i'm not looking forward to that day. I've had a colonscopy 3 times before,so i know the procedure. For anyone who has to have this done for the first time, it don't hurt,but it is just a little bit uncomfortable and nothing to worry about.

This Friday "ST" and myself are going to the opticians. Mine is a follow up each year,but i might get new frames and a pair of sunglasses made up too! "ST" has never had his eyes tested before so this is new to him.He is having problems focusing at times. I think he might need glasses and i think he may be short sighted the same as myself,but that's for the optician to diagnose not me. My son "A" has been wearing glasses for about a month now, he is short sighted.

"?" had a CT scan of the brain a couple of weeks ago now and is still waiting for the results. I phoned the consultants secretary today,but the results haven't come back yet. "?" gets terrible headaches and takes a lot of pain killers.

My daughter "SH" was going to take "ST" with her this Saturday to see Terminator Salvation,but she's not going now. I feel bad because "ST" has been let down again and i'm thinking, if i'm feeling ok on Saturday or maybe during next week, i will try to take him myself,but i will get "?" to drop us off door to door. Last time i went to the cinema was to see the second Harry Potter film with "A","L" and "ST".

"ST" is well away with the laptop i bought and i've been able to come online when ever i wanted to and able to stay online long enough to play a couple of games and comment on a couple of blogs. "ST" has got his last GCSE next Wednesday 22/6. He is pleased that they're all done and dusted.

Last Thursday, i took "ST" to the DRs as he has got an ingrowing toenail due to his shoes being too small when he was living at home. The GP gave him some antibiotics as his toe is infected and has refered him to a podicare clinic, so now he's waiting for an appointment for that to be done.

I'm still reading my books. I've read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown which was good and i've just finished reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown which i think is also a good book, i hope the film is as good as i intend to buy the DVD when its released. I am now reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Do you know what, i've gone mad about Dan Brown books lately.

Well What Ever Next...aye?

Thank-you my anonymous commenter,i will ask to see a neurosurgeon if i don't get any satisfaction when i go for my coming appointment as this problem with chiari is going on to long...

Recently, i had a test kit sent to me through the post from the NHS so i can submit a sample for bowel cancer screening. I did this and posted it back to the NHS in the package provided,then i was asked to do this a second time,then a third time. And today i received a letter from the NHS and they have made an appointment for me to see a consultant 11/6/09 to talk to me about it because they have found something that needs to be investigated further. I don't feel worried or feel anything really about it.

Well, i'm off now to watch Universal Soldier with Jean Claude-Van Damme one of my favourite actors.

1 month since my last entry...

Its almost a month since my last entry,not much has happened really. "ST" is half way through his GCSE's exams.

I wrote a letter to "A" last week,but i haven't heard from him this week as yet.He phone a few times last week and seemed ok. "E" came round last week too with little Alfie,hes got so big now and has six teeth.Hes a cheeky little boy,i gave him a kiss on his forehead and he said a gain ( in his own way) ha! ha! He will be 1 year old in July,time has flown by.

I have bought a laptop so "ST" can use that one and i can have MY own computer back. "ST" set it up and set it up online,so hes well away now...ha!ha! I have been reading quite a lot lately being that i haven't been online much. At the moment i'm reading Angels & Demons and enjoying reading it.

I am feeling a bit down this evening. I had a phone call from my daughter tonight and she told me a couple of things that upset me, nothing pointed at me or anyone here though,but it has disturbed me and made me feel sick and shaky inside.I'm finding that i can't take any level of problems lately without feeling upset even small ones. I have got my appointment to see my neurologist 23rd of June concerning chiari malformation.I have made notes of what has been happening and how often to me so i can show him.

"?" left earlier this evening for his CT scan 7pm at our local hospital,i hope he went there,because hes canceled a couple of appointments previous. I don't know what they're looking for,but he gets a lot of headaches and pains in his head. "?" is still having his ups and downs with other health conditions.

When i've had the chance lately to get on MY computer, i've been flitting to and fro browsing twitter and facebook,being nosy like, ya know? Anyway,i caught up with a few of our AOL friends on facebook whom i was pleased to see on there.

Last week "?" and i went to Southend-On-Sea for the day.We just relaxed and watched the world go by and watched people enjoying themselves. We had a lovely day out and it felt good to get away from my hometown for a while. I did notice though that there were no shellfish stalls and i'm wondering why that would be.
