    Just a quick update for those who know that I was having an ultrasound of my ovaries yesterday. Apparently nothing showed up on my ovaries or womb, so all well there. Still having pain, but will go back to GP and see if we can have it investigated further. Could be bowel problems, only time will tell.

    A wee celebration was had lol.

Then the appt was cancelled again, this time till 9th February…

    Today, I went back to the day surgery unit I first took dad to, with my mum who was having an endoscopy to determine why she is always vomiting, has lost her appetite and has lost a lot of weight. She was told by the doctor the cause of the vomiting is something to do with bile and nothing to worry about and is easily…
