FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

I feel somewhat better today, just had a bit of a blip emotional wise yesterday, apologies for that.

Anyway we got to Kendal Hospital. no problem and it was pretty quiet.  So we had a coffee first then headed for the x-ray department, expecting to have some sort of delay.  I hadn't even sat down when I was called in!!!  Apparently the Nurse had 5 people booked in to have a Dexa Scan today but she had 3 no shows with no calls to cancel!!  That does annoy me as they could be stopping somebody else who needs the DEXA scan from having it!!

Anyway it was Dr VJ from Lanaster who had referred me a while ago, but they have to wait until I've been taken the medication for about 2 weeks. It is to check for osteosporis because this particular medication can thin the bones.  However all was good andvI am bang in the middle of where I should be so it was great.  It only took about 15 minutes and I had the results there and then so no waiting. FANTASTIC SERVICE, why would you not show up for that!!!

Apparently I've lost height - I've always been 5 ft 2 (and a half) inches, but now if 5 ft 1 and a bit!!!!!!!  Where did that go!!!

I was also given a list of things I should eat in order to ensure that I have enough calcium, I should eat more fish of course.  The first three things I spotted on the list were cheese, rice pudding and cheesecake - well it would be rude not to do as instructed now wouldn't it!!!

This morning we popped into town to do some shopping, have a wander and pick up the papers.  

Now home again and going to make a start on all the things that I have to do in preparation for my treatment with a holiday immediately afaterwards - best to spread it out a bit!!!

That's it from me for today, I will now go and catch up on your blips.  See you all tomorrow.
