  New worrying symptoms appear

  Sleepless night for me and my husband.  This morning I use a mirror to check how the wound from yesterday's procedure is healing.  Give my entire mouth a good inspection and for the first time I spot four new symptoms which are red flags fo...

  Lots of developments since the last post.  Spent 2 days at the hospital.  Whilst sorting out the abscess they find something else worrying.  I find this blog a great place to cope with all my thoughts so I will be back at some poi...

  Post 146: Another do-nothing Sunday. My weight has been up and down lately, but my chest pain constant—leading to my shorts becoming a bit too small around the waist and to a real lack of real big hugs. ——— I weighed myself...

  Post 144: Chocolate treats and graveyard chatter.

  Post 144: Chocolate treats and graveyard chatter. Is there anything better than a good scratch in the morning, before you get into gear for a new day? I don’t think so. ——— I’m lying in bed counting up my aches and pa...

  Image: a collage of photos from Community Members - 'With a peaceful theme'

  Post 143: A quiet meeting of minds.

  Post 143: A quiet meeting of minds. Dr S inquired, and I sat, listened, and taught too. ——— I’ll start at the end and then fill out the gaps. As I slowly pushed up out of the chair to end this meeting, and to end the discus...

  A day of mixed emotions

  The day started well.  Had to do the 8am phone scramble for an emergency dental appointment.  No problem, got through on the 3rd attempt and got an immediate appointment.  Even got seen before my appointment time and they didn&#39...
