Waves back at Gig, and others too. Hello, Jchoc, sorry things hectic with your mum. Hope she's enjoyed seeing you. I think i should make porridge, to ingest i mean. Face pack does sound messy and no good for hunger pangs! V hungry now. Boys x 2 watching moronic video. I need to get noses to grindstones .....
I had phone call from doc, just now. Cautiously good news. Scan has ruled out several nasties, which is v good. But shown up various abnormalities, fits with general inflammation of AI problem, and bloods sl better. So referrral to specialist in hand, but GP thinks I might avoid liver biopsy for time being. It could be much worse, I know, so feel somewhat cheered.
Onward and upward. i didn't ask about poss of immuno suppressant med or discuss all this nausea. I need to write list/notes for specialist. For me, longterm immunosuppressants spells end of nursing (or any caring) career, as risk of infection to me too big. I've been worrying about this as need/want 'normality' etc. (and to get boy 4 settled in school - another challenge) and regular albeit small income. And I have no really viable Plan B. Does MN have a career advice thread? It may be time for that. Also worrying about fatness on longterm steroids - with others on 'munchies on steroids' syndrome - even if, in longterm, it saves my life, i hate the idea of getting fatter again. I was v fat, now much slimmer, and guess which i prefer. Any rocket scientists around?! I'll need to get over counter eye drops as he was at home, about to go on hols. Told him i was skint, though sure we can run to a bottle of eye drops, esp as you all know I can afford coffees and FBS ....
There is a one week 'window' in late Aug, to take boy3 on holiday. i think i need to plan something as nobody else will. That will be good thing to look forward to, I hope.
Bye for now, all. Take care xxx
