Thank you Violetsniff . I have my meds, but not yet the caths. I have a,ways been terrified of running out of them and this is really pressing all my buttons! I have to admit I was hysterical the second time I was told could not have them It’s nearly a month now since I put the order in.

Hi folks, I am feeling a bit down today. I have my 2 year mammogram tomorrow morning, I have just been told the doctor will be having a telephone consult with me at 8pm on Thursday to discuss my blood results, I have an MRI on my spine on 23rd August and an MCAT appointment on 22nd. In the midst of all this I am doing 5 people's jobs while staff are on annual leave, my daughter is in slow labour with her 3rd so could need me at any time to watch the other 2 grandchildren but my husband has my car as his new job is no longer a walk away and my son gets married in a week and a half and the forecast is for rain!
Please let me have some of your wisdom and please may I borrow LP if he isn't already on a journey tomorrow?
Mag123 oh bless you...everything starts to look dreadful when you get a build up things to face doesn't it?
Firstly, good luck for tomorrow... We never used to worry over the results in our 'other life' did we? Now we can't help the anxiety building. Good to hear that the GP is going to be in contact with you.... Let's hope it's all good news.
I'm sure LP will look after you very well for your upcoming appointments...just don't go cooking anything for him.. Stick with shop bought!! Hahaha
Exciting times... Another grandchild on the way.. Do we know if it's a girl or a boy?
As for your son's wedding, the one thing you cannot change is what the weather does .... So stop fretting over something you can't change, and think how wonderful it will be to see him married!
My mantra was, and indeed continues to be, one step at a time. Focus on the mammogram for now, GP consult after that, hospital appointments after that .. But in between go and enjoy witnessing your son's happy day
Much love
Sally
Sorry to hear that you are feeling down. It's hardly surprising with all you've got on at the moment. As moomy says you shouldn't have to be do 5 people's jobs shouldn't be loaded onto you.
Best of luck with your mammogram tomorrow and with your other appointments. I hope your daughter's labour doesn't go on for much longer. You never know the forecast for your son's wedding might be wrong and it could turn out to be a glorious day
Why not treat yourself to something nice after your mammogram tomorrow, you deserve it.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

ThankyouDaisy53 Dicha andmoomy for your kind words. I really shouldn't be moaning with what others are going through. You always manage to stay so cheerful and positive Daisy53. I am selfishly wallowing! I am so exhausted from work. I did an extra hour and a quarter at the end of the day as the MD was pushing for documents to be drafted. Now lying in bed, back screaming. But my husband has bought soup and flatbread for tea so I don't have to think about cooking! To be fair Dicha if the cooking were left to me we would starve!!
No news on my grandson yet. I do hope he decides to arrive before I head off to Prague!
