well what a time its been, i have never had a xmas or new year that was so busy and so full of fun, i even tolerated the outlaws!!!!! so now its back to normal, went to see the shoulder specialist yesterday and have been put on the waiting list to have some bone scraped off my shoulder, how nice! they did a bit of a pre-op as it will only be a quick day jobbie, all was going well until she took my blood pressure, low and behold, it was 200/117, so i have to now go in early feb to have a full pre-op assessment, so not a happy bunny about that, so this thursday i shall being going to the gps to try to get this blood pressure sorted once and for all, i have been walking at least every other day for the last month and a bit, doing between 1-2 miles with the dog, i have gone from a size 16 in jeans to a size 14, i have felt really healthy, then my blood pressure takes the mickey!!!!!!!!!!!! oh well, at least it will be a good laugh to see the look of confusion on the gps face when i hold my leg out instead of my arm to have my blood pressure done, that will be the most enjoyable part of the visit!
lots of love to you all

well all i got off the doctor was, "we don't have anything that is big enough to go round your calf"!!!!!!!!!!! i did point out that some people do have bigger biceps than my calf! so hopefully the local nurse can help out on that one! then the cheeky sod had a go about my sleeping pills, the tramodol, telling me how addictive they can be, i did point out that if i hadn't damaged my shoulder then i wouldn't really need such strong pain killers, and once my op is over and done with then i probably wouldn't need them at all! i really must do something about changing my gp, it seems its a conflict everytime i go there!
