Hello all, am also just doing a quick post so i don't lose you all!

Ledkr hope you're ok and all has gone smoothly. Can't believe your dh can't have time off because of bloody badgers!! Well, not the poor badgers, the idiots that hunt them. Anyway, good luck and get some food in you soon :)

Blizy I know it was a while ago but good news, bet you're relieved.

Mizk ooh what did you buy?!? I have some cute pics of A and C I'll have to put up soon.

Reastie dp was back at work today and its as if he's never even been off, stress and paperwork straight away Hmm

Hi everyone else, nice to have a catch up with the thread. All is well here, would you believe that for the last 2 weeks or so A has settled herself to sleep and stayed in her bed Shock it makes evenings so much easier. I am very appreciative!
She is otherwise fine and seems to have sorted out potty issues, we think she has some molars coming, could that right or is it too early?!

flusteredmumto2 · 03/09/2013 09:31

Hi ladies.
ledkr hope your ok after your op
Am very impressed with all the potty training. Freya is nowhere near ready. I keep trying but to no avail.
I'm not as good as I was in the last post. I have been undergoing tests as was having very irregular bleeding (sorry tmi) bloating etc. Well tests have come back and they've found something. Waiting to have more tests asto find out if its precancerous or cancerous cells on my cervix. I am trying to stay positive and not worry as both can be treated as will have been found early enough but theres always that what if in the back of my head. I hate waiting! Dp has been amazing as usual shouldn't have expected anything less really. Only a couple of people in rl know as dont want people fussing and worrying about me. Guess I'm trying to put a brave face on it when really I'm so scared!

Ledkr · 03/09/2013 10:00

Bless you honey.
I know how that feels.
You can't change it though so worry less and be positive more! If you have something nasty then you will get the treatment you need and beat the fucker.
Keep posting on here. Lots of times I've been convinced it can be nothing else but my cancer come back and it never is.
Chin up xx

blizy · 03/09/2013 10:40

Oh flustered, you must be terrified. I echo what ledkr said, We are here to hold your hand throughout this.

Ledkr did you get your op? Hope you are ok?

Grannyapple · 03/09/2013 10:48

flustered agree with ledkr tho I can only imagine its easier said than done to stop worrying...massive hugs ((())).

ledkr hope the op was successful & you're recovering well x

Not much happening here except feed/wind/change nappy/squeeze in a bit of food or chores for me...but Amelia is lovely Smile. Nursery called today to ask when N can move to big toddler room, before pre svh

Grannyapple · 03/09/2013 10:51

Damn...posted before finished...tsk!

N moving to bigger toddler room before big pre school room in April. He seems to have taken to A fine so think they were waiting to see how he would react to new baby etc...think they're doing some phased sessions this week & aiming for week after next for proper move....but where did my baby boy go Sad..

Ledkr · 03/09/2013 11:02

Yes all done. Just waiting for calcium results then can go home if ok.
Ella went off to school today. I cried when I got the photo of her in her stiff, big uniform looking so vulnerable.
I have missed my red headed monster unbelievably.
I had a largely incoherent chat on the phone with her. One of the only clear things I heard was "pooh pooh slide*
Poor dh Grin

ILovePonyo · 03/09/2013 13:21

Ledkr glad you're all done, and hope you're on your way home now. I got a lump in my throat at your description of E looking vulnerable then snorted at your incoherent phone call with D Grin Grin

flustered oh that sounds scary, do you know how long you'll have to wait for? Really hope its not a long wait for you.

granny aw baby A is gorge, so cute! A is in room before pre school at nursery too, but sometimes she gets to go in pre school so has now started whinging to go in pre school every day because shes a 'big girl', and told me all her friends are in pre school Shock Hope N settles in well, sure he will by the sounds of it :)

flusteredmumto2 · 03/09/2013 18:16

Thanks all. I keep having wobbles where I think I'm fine then I have a mini panic attack and struggle to breathe and shake and cry. Then I'm fine again. I had a letter through to go next friday for more tests. As freya starts full time nursery next Thursday I'll be able to go and dp wants to come with as he's home on annual leave as he'd booked to come and look after freya my first week of college as was unsure as when she'd start. Not sure Iwant him there though or if I just want him sitting in the waiting room so have him there afterwards.

Ledkr · 03/09/2013 20:00

It will be nothing serious love..much more likely than something awful.
ponyo she had indeed done a pooh pooh on the slide

I'm home bit sore.
Dh is annoying me cos just keeps sitting down with me while the house goes to rack n ruin.

flusteredmumto2 · 03/09/2013 20:56

I know it will be nothing serious. I'm just a worrier. Glad you're back home ledkr think I just need a slap occasionally!

wigglesrock · 04/09/2013 10:24

flusteredMumto2 it must be very worrying Thanks but fingers crossed it will be fine. At least you have the support of someone who loves you. Keep posting x

ledkr hope you are on the road to recovery Smile

Potty training going well, Christ Anna can pee for Ireland Hmm Her obsession with Lady & the Tramp and Fox and the Hound has reached dizzy heights.

She watched Fox & the Hound yesterday and told me her eyes were a bit wet at the end Smile I think I will leave Up for a while!

She is very funny at the minute, she mispronounces fox, I think I will leave it up to you to guess!

flusteredmumto2 · 05/09/2013 01:10

Wobbling a lot. Think its because I'm on my own with only my thoughts for company. I don't see dp till Sunday and he's on earlys so haven't got him to talk too. I'm so scared. I know its silly to be but I can't help it. Everything about it is petrifying. .the coloscopy, biopsys, waiting for the results and then the actual results. I have my entrance exam for college tomorrow and I can't even think about it! Man I hate feeling so pathetic I know i just need to grow a pair and get on with it.

Ledkr · 05/09/2013 07:07

Have you thought about a thread in health?
I had call backs last year and was terrified but a thread in health was very reassuring. There are other women who have had experience of this and also drs to reassure or explain things.
Why not give it a go?

Ledkr · 05/09/2013 07:08

Can you differ your exam?

wigglesrock · 05/09/2013 07:49

flustered hope you managed to get some sleep xx Hope exam goes well.

OP posts:
Reastie · 05/09/2013 08:09

flustered really feel for you, it must be so worrying. Do you have to wait long for the results? Good luck in the test today, hope you get through it and I'd say it's always worth mentioning to them if you feel you can what you're going through as they may well take that into consideration when marking (or give you another opportunity to do it)

ledkr how's the recovery going? DO you feel better at all already or does it take a while to show it's effect?

Ledkr · 05/09/2013 09:49

Hi reastie the calcium leveks go down straight away buy today I woke up not feeling that great. Bit hot and groggy.
Dh is really pissing me off. He has to really force sympathy for people because he's been brought up to despise ill ness.
Eg once had an abscess left so long he lost teeth and dentist screamed at mil for leaving it.
Bil had broken collar bond but sent to school.
Grand dad lost a leg after years of refusing to see dr.
So whilst he loves me and hates to see me unwell it manifests as a palpable resentment.
It doesn't help that he seems unable to "crack on" and get a job done so he's been faffing around with the Hoover all week and not ever put it away, he's done little else although appears to be faffing about constantly.
Rather than just fly round and have a good clean then get on with his life iyswim? He therefore gets frustrated which I pick up on.
Not very nice really.
I'm on my own from tomorrow which might be hard because I can't drag her or lift her so not sure how that will go.

Reastie · 05/09/2013 10:36

ahh yes ledkr I have the same issue with my DH and lack of sympathy to any illness (don't think his family are quite so bad though) so I understand where you are. What is it with men and faffing with housework and IME always prioritising all wrong. I could have a dirty messy kitchen and DH would be proudly showing me one cupboard he has reorganised (I realise I'm lucky he has the very rare occasional urges to do this I suppose) like it's a good use of his time and the rest of the mess will magically clean itself Hmm . How did Ella get on at school?

Reastie · 05/09/2013 10:37

(don't think his family are quite so bad though)

as in don't think his [my DH] family are as bad as your DHs

Ledkr · 05/09/2013 10:44

Yes he seems to take all day and achieve nothing. If I clean a room you can walk into it and it looks different.
His other thing is his slow response to everything.
I was sat on sofa and d started clambouring around very near me (but dodgy with a big wound on my neck) he sits there watching me flinch and squirm and ask her to get down but does nothing to help. Then she ends up throwing a heavy book at me which lands in my ribs before he actually intervenes.
I've cine back up to my bedroom now. God he's annoying me. The house is just so cluttered.

Reastie · 05/09/2013 10:46

I think locking yourself in the bedroom for the next couple of days is a safe bet, at least you can't see what a state everything is getting for a while (in the hope it will sort itself out)

flusteredmumto2 · 05/09/2013 11:02

Can't defer my exam as it is the entrance to the course I'm supposed to start monday. I guess everything is getting on top of me. I'm trying to pack to move house. Get kids sorted for school/nursery and psych up for the tests and biopsies. Kinda feeling the pressure now.

Ledkr sounds like you have your hands full. I agree with reastie. Lock yourself away with choccie, tea and trashy mags!

Ledkr · 05/09/2013 11:21

I have so much chocolate actually.
Naughty mumsnetters sent me loads Shock thorntons too.
Good luck with exam flustered my sis had colposcopy and laser and has been fine ever since.
I had terrible symptoms too (huge bleeds after dtd, very bad sign and all it was was a few polyp.
Much of this type if stuff is not sinister.

flusteredmumto2 · 05/09/2013 11:28

I've had irregular bleeding for months. Sometimes painful dtd, bladder problems, bloating and pain. My dr is about as much use as a chocolate teapot had been a couple of times but always got brushed off as it was my body adjusting to the contraceptive pill until I saw a female student dr that sent me for all the tests. I just never expected it. Most the time I'm rational and know that its unlikely. I just wobble and panic. The scared is always there though. I'll never put off going for a smearagain though! Its taught me that much.
