well i have been busy with the appointments as you all will be too aware of. i went for my kidney funtion test yesterday so i was backwards and forwardss to the hospital three times, so didn't get much else done really yesterday - went to bed at 8, i felt shattered. this morning got up and took the dog for her morning run around the dog field and met up with her mate dev, we were the only ones out - just goes to show who the dog lovers are - dogs need to be out and about even if it is raining.
went to the dentist at 10 - that is another saga which is driving me mad at the mo - i have had an absess which keeps flaring up - the ongologist has said that she wants me to have the tooth removed before chemo starts - but the dentist can't get to it because it is so swolen so she has put me on antibiotics and has drained the tooth so that hopefully they can pull it out on monday - i must say that i am petrified of the dentist - i have been to the doctos and she has given me a valliun to take an hour before they take it out - that is how bad i am - any way not long and hopefully that will be the end of the tooth saga - looking out of the window and the weather dosen't seem to have settled much so i think it is going to be another wet session at the dog field this afternoon - but she is worth it.
tomorrow is my daughters 26th birthday so we are having a tea party here at home so i am really looking forward to having birthday cake and the family round so will have to make sure i dont over do things tomorrow and start falling asleep over the jelly and icecream lol - i dont have any more appointments in my diary now until monday so might start looking at christmas presents in the old argos book - lol.
my little one has just phoned me from school in tears - bless her - she dosen't want to go into music lesson - she says her teacher is picking on her - this is the first i have heard of this so i think it might just be a case of her feeling a little bit sad and not quiet sure why - bless her - i have told her to go and see her head of year - who know what is happening at home and hopefully she will help to settle her down - it is times like this when you really do feel hopeless - she is only twelve bless her and she is dealing with this terrible thing really well - she said she is angry at the doctors for not getting it all the first time and is worried about how i am going to be when i have the chemo - bless her - there is only the two of us at home so she must be feeling very anxious about it all.
anyway i willl go for now as i seem to have written an awful lot this morning - hope everyone else is feeling ok and not getting the winter blues - sending lots of hugs and kisses - will post again tomorrow - karen - xoxo
