Bad News - I was not expecting that.

Well, it's been a few days since i last inflicted you all with my diatribe of thoughts and feelings, Thursday was my last visit this year to the Dr's, i was hoping for some good news, I thought i would bribe her with a large box of chocolates, well, that didn't work....LOL... I took Andy along with me I thought maybe if he were there, I would maybe remember everything that I should be saying, my memory is poor, I usually forget many things, so I needed him there to assist.

Anyway, we discussed the many medications I am on, and she wrote them down like before so i know what and when and how many of each i am supposed to be taking, she has now added Diazepam to the list, I think she could see I was so low and when I also said that Andy was fed up with the speed of things, Andy chirped in and asked what more was to be done with regards the Pain clinic, she replied "that there is nothing more that can be done", so it looks like my back pain and associated issues are here for good.

She then said that she was to proceed in the new year with a load of tests, Thyroid, Cholesterol,  liver, kidney, prostrate and loads more, she also asked if I had an physiotherapy, she should know, she arranged them previously, I said just acupuncture, so I am going to have one-on-one physio with a trainer to make sure i do the exercises, so that should be fun, so with that and the pills adjustment that should go some way towards at least making me a little more healthily, she also suggested a diet plan from a Dr Mosley, I have looked at this and it looks ok, need to get a few more idea's for the meals, as they are only 600 calories.

We went to my brothers family for a pre Christmas lunch, it was a great day, mum and dad didn't know we were coming so it was a nice surprise for them, my sister and her lot were there, it was the first time in many years I had spoken to her, no apology for what she accused me of and how she behaved, so as far as I am concerned, nothing has changed, we had a lovely lunch and tea, we left shortly after tea, I was getting tired and my morning pills were wearing off, by the time I got home, i was really needing my next lot of medication.

Today we went and looked at a new three piece suite, well, I have damaged the other one,  and it is noticeable so we went to DFS, the place that has a never ending sale, after a good wander around and looking, poking and sitting we settled on this one.

 A large two seater, with double electrical reclining, a single seater with electrical reclining and a one plain standard chair, However Andy keeps changing his mind and things that a single and two doubles might be the way to go, anyway he says he wants to try them again.

Time to go I am sure your all bored now.
