Hey!  I've got a minor one...had what I thought was a healing scab on my leg from when I cut myself shaving a couple weeks ago.  (I *hate* shaving...grrrrr!  it always leads to a cut...because I can't see the outsides of my ankles very well & also because I'm clumsy with a razor)  Accidentally scraped it with my fingernail a little while ago & opened up the cut again.

(one reason to look forward to winter & growing serious almost-man-hair on my legs again - lol!)

I wanted to wear capris today so I shaved in goodness knows how long-and cut myself. 

Hugs to Jewlz, MLG, and SP..along with anyone else who has major IA's!

So just make sure you only see the lovely GP when you book in! An extra day or two to see the good one is better than the stress and hassle of seeing the bad one...
:( Have you got any hobbies you can do from bed? Or is there a long-running series you've always wanted to watch? I used my transplant time to finally watch The Wire from start to finish. At least something like that makes the time go faster, even if you're stuck in bed. I hope the hospital tests help you.

Great suggestion re: the DVD type scenario [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] - now only if my eyes would stay open.....  >:(



I'm sorry MLG, I hadn't realized you'd been sick for so long.  I agree with SP that you should hold out for the helpful doctor when making appointments.  I really hope they figure out what's wrong and find an effective treatment soon.

Hugs to Jewlz, MLG, and SP..along with anyone else who has major IA's!

MLG, I agree with the others, hang out until you can get one of the nice doctors!  I loathe having to see the mean doctors and I'll usually put up with things until I can get one I like.
Too many folks having major inconvenient annoyances  :( Hugs all around!
Thanks, guys! Lovely GP only works part time.  :( Believe me, she is my first choice.  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

MLG, I'll call you again soon - maybe I can at least drop by for a short visit?  Don't worry, you needn't clean house or get out of your pyjamas or anything.  Is there anything I can bring you?  :-*

Just a bit of TLC is nice. And a laugh. That always helps cheer up the soul.  :-*

I am going to lay super super low this weekend and try and kick this in the ghoulies! Then maybe I'll be up for a coffee in a week or so.

MLG, I somehow also knew that I needed to stay on antibiotics after that last aspiration, since I had only been on the special ones for a week, and now its come back.  :-[ I really think if they had kept me on those another week or two, it may have killed the infection, as those were the only ones that seemed to help me get better. *sigh* Hopefully we will both kick this "in the ghoulies" soon!  :P

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone.  :-* I'm hanging in there.

My neighbors have a puppy and we have a shared yard...and they don't clean up the poop...even though DH "asked" them not-so-nicely and she said it wasn't a problem and would be cleaned.  I need to find out who I can report them to because it really sucks that for the last few weeks of weather nice enough to be outside, my daughter can't even play in her own yard.

Aww, SP, Jewlz and MLG, hugs to you all! I hope things improve for you.


I've been under a lot of stress recently trying to get a new flat sorted for myself and my BF. We had to go into temporary accommodation last week since he was interviewing for a job near Luton and his second interview wasn't until a few days before we had to move from our last flat. I spent weeks trying to find something temporary for us until we knew the outcome of the interview, and now that we finally know he has the job, the process of finding a permanent flat is even more stressful.

For the past week, we've changed our minds where we want to live approximately every two hours. The BF is a week from handing in his dissertation and works part-time, so the flat hunt has been left to me. I've been travelling between south London and St Albans or Harpenden almost daily looking at flats. Both places are lovely, but I really have no desire to move outside of London. But since he's the one with the job, there's not much option unless I want to live on my own again. It's just so frustrating since I'm supposed to be finishing a dissertation right now so that I can get a job, but instead I'm spending all of my time looking at flats. We're living out of our suitcases right now which is not a conducive environment for studying or job hunting. I'm becoming progressively more miserable as this goes on and the thought of spending so much money on a new place to live is terrifying me.

Indeed. Though I realised my typo and it should be 'goolies'....  [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif] - silly me!

Aww, SP, Jewlz and MLG, hugs to you all! I hope things improve for you.

Cheers - and good luck with everything!

My IA is being tired of being tired. At least I'll have a few days of as little as possible to do, I hope. Even if the house is a tip.

Thanks Andee   :) ...I feel a bit better today thanks to my wonderful husband who got up with our daughter at 6.30am yesterday AND today! and sent me back to bed. My head just feels like it's in a vise and will pop like a big ole zit any second now and I can't hear very well...but I'm getting better.

They've been hyping this bloomin' hurricane all week. And, while I appreciate it's no fun for those right on the coast or islands, I doubt if we'll get much more than an inch or two of rain North of Boston. We had several idiotic emails yesterday at work, reminding people to close their windows and not leave things on the floor (duh!) And a hysterical list of hurricane safety tips for Prestigious U. with a list for a Disaster Supplies Kit, including bottled water, clothing, 7-day supply of meds (!), passport (!), sanitation items, etc. etc. And I had to laugh when I saw Multi-purpose tool (will my Sonic Screwdriver do?)
