Posting here because I can't really talk about it with anyone else but DP in real life as not really discussed it with others.
I've been under consultant care for a long term health condition since early 2013. All sorts of things have happened and changes made to medication etc and things gradually got better and have finally stabilised. I'll be on medication for many years possibly the rest of my life ....
BUT...
I've just spoken to the consultant and she's decided to move me from her care to a specialist nurse instead with only annual appointments instead of 3 or 4 a year. If anything happens she'll see me again I just need to ask. She's not discharged me in order to avoid the whole rigmarole of being referred again if that makes sense.
It's a really tiny thing in one sense as still on medication and still under care of hospital but after so long I feel very emotional and I'm actually crying happy tears which I didn't expect.
I'd love a glass of wine but they certainly won't mix with medication (had to give up drinking years back)....
But if anyone is having a glass tonight please quietly raise it to my tiny celebration (and then have an extra glass for me) I'm having a cup of tea and a biscuit
