Radiation - Day Four....and still not yet glowing in the dark!

Okay...I know we have had a weekend inbetween my last post and this, but there are limits to how witty I can make 'slept, played on facebook and slept some more' sound lol!

I had a good weekend, ie: no nervous breakdowns...but then having the right 'fix' in the house made all the difference! I did feel myself going a bit wobbly on Sunday (again), which doesnt make sense as thats my favourite day of the week with my sister here most of the day, and the fun (?) of the crosswords, but as I say...pop a happy pill and all is well..phew!

The hip, leg and bum cheeks have been playing up a bit, but then I was warned that things could get worse before they get better so I guess that is that bit kicking in. So far though, no blisters or cystitis or other horrid things, so all in all, things are going pretty well. Another session today, and I have to thank Carol for braving the weather. It was the absolute pits today...winds and rain, and blooming freezing bbbrrrrr! She has the ordeal of finding a parking space and dashing through the elements to get to me. She very kindly drops me off at the doorstep of where I need to be...a few steps to the lift, then a few more steps to the waiting area - and then she goes to fetch the car to pick me up again. I know I keep saying it, but Carol you are a star and I am very lucky to have you supporting me through this 'adventure' xxx

But of course, the day cant go too smoothly can it, and I just knew it would be the gestapo at the docs surgery who would upset the day....sigh! We popped in there on the way home from the hossie to collect my prescriptions, only the gestapo had decided that there were a couple of items I could not have as I had asked for them too early..tut! The paperwork was confusing it has to be said, but the bottom line was, I was been given two weeks worth of these particular meds and then couldnt have any more for a month! Obviously a normal person with an ounce of common sense would have questioned this with the doc, but no...we are not dealing with normal or sensible here are we. Righty, so I need to speak to the doc, no you cant, well she said even though you will say that I cant, I am to tell you that she says that she will.....mmmm.....we've been here before eh! I was angry at myself for not getting more uppity and insistent but they really do get the better of you. However, I did manage to get a promise of a phone call later from another doc...I wanted my doc, and I know my doc would ring if she knew I needed it, but gestapo lady said 'no she cant'. So I just had to wait for the phone to ring and hope that I would get someone nice. And thank goodness I did....phew! She could see the problem straight away and really took the time to listen to my concerns - I thought I was going to have to make a special appointment with my own doc to get this all organised once and for all, but no...she kindly re-jigged my meds to just how I need them, and has done a special extra prescription for the things I need now. Better still, as the surgery is going to be closed tomorrow for training (as obviously noone is going to get sick tomorrow!?!), she will drop the prescription into the chemist across the way so that I can collect it from there. So all's well that ends well, but why this pigging battle every time???

Im sorry, I realise that this is a boring lot of twaddle, but this is the highlight of my days at the moment and you're just going to have to share them with me lol!

It was parcel day once again - yay...but this time not stash (the stash is due tomorrow). I have given up on the murder & mahem that I usually read, preferring things to make me laugh. So todays gems to arrive were: Happy Slapped by a Jellyfish by Karl Pilkingon, An Idiot Abroad..also by Karl Pilkington...have any of you been watching the series on Sky1 - it has been hilarious? And then I have 'My Sh*t Life so Far' by Frankie Boyle - I know he is VERY rude but I do find him very funny so that should be a good read. Plenty to keep me chuckling there anyway.

My appointment with the zapper is rather earlier tomorrow - 12.10, so I shall be having to get up early to give my body a chance to unravel and take in enough tea before I start my day. An early night would be in order, but thats not going to happen as I have all my neighbours to visit on facebook, and I do love visiting my neighbours lol!

Very special sparkles needed today - firstly for Charlie, Lesleys darling pooch, he is poorly and very much in need of a visit from the sparkle fairy. Get better soon our Jelly Belly!

And lots of sleepy & healing sparkles for three of my crafty buddies....Im not pinching all the sleep now, honest!!!

Until tomorrow then, when hopefully I will have a nice little array of new stash to share with you...all I need to do now is find a space for it!

Hugs and sparkles, Sue xxx
