Buckets, that is not 'not much' in my book. How depressing not to get support on an issue that is basic to DS's dignity. Blast the unhelpful paed. That just isn't fair.
Did your DH hear about the work transfer by they way?
-the mention of Kahlua makes me flashback to one horrific night when I was 22. Why won't embarassing memories just expire?
Hotter - fab news on the application. I hereby award you the job.
Better news here in that I have a neurologist appointment at the local hospital next Thursday (bad news because of the Aug08 Irish meetup though ). I'm v. confused now about what the v. long waiting list reports everywhere actually refer to.
VG - it is great to hear that your mum has had such a positive experience. that she is coming home to such bad news though. It will be hard to lose that link to your dad for all of you ...
I see my grandad so much in my DS though - it is funny the way people reflect each other in families.
Thanks for the link to that report too and for taking to time to investigate for me. that is so kind We don't have private cover as DH was only being paid on a provisional rate until recently and so its only since he got his back pay last month that we've been in a position to get cover.
If I take it out now, I'll be paying premiums but under the waiting period rules it would be 5 years before I could claim for a pre-diagnosed condition (26 for 'new conditions' developed after taking out a policy)- it's how they maintain the single rate of cover I guess.
Still, at least I can make some progress next week, and have DH with me as it is the easter holidays. DS has an eye appointment on Wed so it will be a very medical week.
PF My uncle has Menieres and so it is a possibility though I know he has excruciating ear pain. Certainly something to consider. Thanks for mentioning it. You are a lovely lot.
I am no longer tingling like a medieval mystic which has to be good. The tingling was maddening just because it was a constant reminder that something is awry. And I had a lovely morning with one of my sisters who is due to have a caesarean on Tuesday, DS's birthday.
Dizzy can I catch you for names to go with Dara and a surname that starts O'S?
Another lovely thing: one of my very best old friends who lost touch for a while just got in touch via facebook.
My very oldest friend from primary school has published evil pics of me as a very freckly 14 year old on facebook. AIBU to track him down and maim him?
I hope you all have a good night.
