Our Week...

Friday 3/8/07...

"?" came in around 8am this morning, a bit later i got a few chores done, then i checked on a few things online. This afternoon i had to make a couple of phone calls and got the run around again over "?" hospital appointment at phisio for chronic fatigue. Then i phoned back to the where the original appoinment should have been and had a few heated words. The girl said she will send us a copy of the referal as proof as everyone else is denying the existence of this said appointment.

Saturday 4/8/07...

"?" took me to the shop this morning, later we went to pick up "ST" for the day. "?" and "ST" chatted for quite a while this morning.The day went quickly and "ST" decided to stay over. After "?" left at 6pm, "ST" went online and i settled to watch TV in the lounge, then ended up in my room with "ST" to watched TV while he was online.

Sunday 5/8/07...

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 2lbs. "?" came in at 9:15am for an hour then left. I could have done without cooking dinner today as it is so hot.

"L" phoned to ask if "ST" wanted to go to Canvey Island with her and "J", but he said no he wanted to stay here.

Anyway, after dinner i did'nt do anything, i just sat round the fan to keep cool as the air was also tight too! "?" came in around 5:30pm. Then "L" came by to pick "ST" up at 6:30pm. "J" was tired out. She said she had lovely time at the seaside and she was telling me all about where she went and what she done.After "L" and co had left "?" left too and i came online for short while.

Monday 6/8/07...

This morning "?" took me round the clinic to get my blood test done that Dr Caudhuri wanted me to have. After dinner, "?" went out and i got a couple of chores done then i went online to check on something then settled to watch TV untill "?" came back at 4:45pm for a while then left at 6pm and i then went back online for an hour.

Tuesday 7/8/07...

"?" came in around 10:am. We went to pick up "ST" and on the way back we stopped off at Morrisons to get a few bits for dinner and petrol for the car. The day went quickly and "ST" wanted to stay over so i phoned "L" to let her know and to see if "J" could come out with us on Wednesday to Hainault Forest park and we would pick her up in the morning. I then phoned "SH" to ask if "Z" could come too, she said yes and we chatted some.Later, "Z" phoned me to ask if she could stay over untill Thursday, i said yes!

After "?" had left at 7pm "ST" and i settled to watch TV in my room while he was online.

Wednesday 8/8/07...

 "?" came in around 7:30am. We left "ST" in bed while we went to the shop at 8am to get a few bits to take with us to Hainault. When we came home we all had breakfast and chatted untill it was time to got to pick the girls up.

We all set off for Hainaul Forest Country park for a couple of hours. The kids played ball and ran around while "?" and i sat and watched...lol. Then we wandered around the lake and the edge of the forest "?" and i sat down quite a lot on the benches. I was feeling so tired and "?" was exhausted even though we walked slow.The kids were enjoying themselves. We then went to buy our ice-creams then we went to sit on the bench and watched the world go by, it was so relaxing and we all had a good time together, the kids were really good.

"?" was very exhausted and in pain when we got home and he settled in the lounge.After i had rested, i got the kids dinner on the go."ST" went online and the girls played in the garden. After dinner "Z" and "J" went online and "ST" was helping them with thier games.

We took "ST" and "J" home at 5pm and "?" left at 6pm then "Z" and i had our tea then "Z" and i went to my room where "Z" went  online and i watched TV.

Thursday 9/8/07...

This morning i went to the Diabetic clinic, the nurse said i've to increase the medication Metformin and have one twice daily. "?" went along to the NO SMOKING clinic this afternoon and the lady he saw said it would be very hard for him to give up and she has written a letter to the GP to see which is the best way to handle the situation as "?" has got heart disease and as he had been smoking since he was a kid of 6 yrs old. I know what your thinking and it is true...it was his dad who used to give him ciggies and buy them for him thats the kind of family he comes from, rough and ready Eastend people. You would never think he came from that type of back ground, because hes nothing like any of them at all.

Well, thats all for now and i hope you all have agreat weekend. I don't know when i will be able to get long enough online again, because "ST" has hogged the computer most of the time. I have'nt added any pics with this entry as its getting late and i need to do other things while i've got MY computer to myself...lol. So Best Wishes to one and all...

Astra, I'll be very interested in seeing what plan the doctor comes up with for "?" to quit smoking.  My husband has three ciggies before he even steps out the door in the morning.  Glad to hear that you lost some weight, but not so happy to know that you had your meds upped.  The NHS system seems to really be confusing.

Love,
Susie

Sounds like you have had a busy few days ~ Hope "?" can get help with his giving up smoking ~ having started so early in life I think he will find it very hard to give cigarettes up ~ will be interested what they recommend for him ~ can you imagine giving a child a ciggie at six years old they would have you for child cruelty today ~ I hope you have a happy and relaxed weekend ~ Ally x
