Glad it wasn't too bad. Did you find any bloods yet?
My dentist did a very bad face when he checked my gums, I'm booked in for two hygiene appointments and under strict rules - brushing three times a day, flossing twice and using a special mouthwash twice - even though I was fastidious with twice daily brushing and flossing. I'm just too run down, despite taking vitamins and probiotics to try and boost my immune system.
Four fillings too, I suspect that consoling myself with chocolate recently has had an effect, as I had mini-cavities which he said will only get worse. Doh!
Homestart have been excellent, told her I was going to cancel appointments and she put on a taxi for me instead, so have spoken to the job centre and had my advice from then. The disabilities advisor has said that with my health fluctuating so much at the moment, it's likely I would be on ESA, but with being on IS I have another fourteen months before that becomes necessary. In the meantime she's given me some information and put my mind at rest about how the support works for getting back into work.
Homestart also told me to pop into the council so I did that too and have started an application for a Discretionary Housing Payment, to help with my rent as I've been struggling to keep up financially with all the adjustments I need to make when I am ill. The library is in the same building so let the kids have a half hour there and spoke to someone about a bus pass, apparently I need to be getting high rate mobility DLA to qualify, so fingers crossed my claim comes back with high, because getting myself around is one of the hardest things and costs me most.
Got so much sorted (using the bare minimum of spoons, lol) and now I need to go lie down with my constant companion, the hot water bottle. Going to sleep the rest of the afternoon to try and conserve energy for tomorrow. We're at the farm with Homestart. I'm hoping I can walk around, but if not I'll take a book and make a space in the cafe while the kids get taken round.
