I'll be back later to read the 'drunk typing'.... Meantime, I'm all at sixes and sevens here, as I was planning to take some boys off on a short holiday after exams over, and now not sure what to do. Haven't actually booked yet, as we tend to do short breaks in YHs in Europe, and can usually find something last minuteish. Problem over travel insurance for me if I leave the UK. Not sure what to do. Re hosp date for scan, i can prob just quietly postpone it if it's only a week. Not sure iwant to upset GP as he is my ally in this at mo (but he wasn't v impressed last year when I wanted to go away when it clashed with some other med apt. I did end up cancelling and went later and it wasn't a huge cost all in all). This time, it's to do with availability of ds, and getting away and back in June, before everything gets really busyand, if going via london, before all the olympics busyness. And later in summer I'll prob need another liver biopsy, which is a biggish procedure and needs rest time afterwards and a night in hosp. (livers being livers, they tend ot bleed if needles gets stuck into them, hence a bit of extra care needed). Then boy willl be back at college. And very aware 17 yo boy with steadt GF isn't likely to want to holiday with his mammy for many years to come.
Too hot to go out today. But feel I should enjoy nice weather while it's here.And ther's only so much laundry you can do. If I go furhter I'll need sunscreen, and I hate the smell and general stickiness. DS 17YO has taken little bro to drama class, so only ds2 and dh and me here. The house is too quiet!! But excited as eldest is coming back from college for one night only, as little bro's birthday tomorrow. And DH making cake so I don't have that to do that. Still got parcels to wrap, but putting it off 'cos it's a job I like.... Generally too tired to do much, would like to reada good book, but unable to focus for long. At least I've got the knitting.
WWYD re travel ins if in my situation, ie between tests, but with knowledge of a definite but sl vague problemo? I need ot bite bullet and talk to ins co on Monday. Presumably they would insure me for accidnets and theft, but exclude me for claims related to my liver dysfunction (and if anything acute happens, i can just jump on a ferry back to the UK, ha ha!).And it's not likely anything will happen quickly anyway. Although i want a break too, I do think ds3 (the one doing exams) needsa break more, and his little face fell alst night when I told him I wasn't sure we could go far due to all this. i deliberately told him nothing earlier in week due to exams (which he seems remarkably confident about. fingers crossed he's not just being a cocky teenager)
So, hope you are all 'fine' today and those of you needing head covering have managed something cooler. Hope too family smee having a lovely celebration day with little smee.
