Give me the news. So today I went back to see the same, new to me, G.P. I saw previously, she of the optimistic testing. Turns out I don’t hate her, she seems nice and very thorough, see I am less cynical and on the brighter side of life. I am starting HRT! Yey! ItContinue reading “Doctor, Doctor.”

Where have I been?
It feels like forever since I sat down to this blog, I think it has been a long time, I am definitely out of the habit of writing. Gone is the routine of last year when I produced a blog and a waffle most weeks. Where have I been? I have no idea. No whereContinue reading “Where have I been?”
Bloody Blood Tests.
Welcome to my weekly waffle, the place where I can let go and truly vent and moan on. My topic today links to my most recent post, New Year, New G.P. Out of the numerous tests this G.P requested, what did she find? Well as I said I am not diabetic and as to theContinue reading “Bloody Blood Tests.”
I can’t talk about it.
I am sitting here in the lovely warm library, thinking of things to write. I have a list of topics with pieces half written in my head and yet I just can’t do it. I reread my last post and cried, quietly. I have lost my positivity, my determination and clarity. I want to cryContinue reading “I can’t talk about it.”

Hormonal imbalance is anotherContinue reading “Horrible Hormones.”
When will I see my table again?
This is the song in my head each time I enter the kitchen. most often it seems more like an act of faith that the table exists under the piles of clean washing and a detritus of other items. How did this happen I ponder? The problem is we have limited space, yes it’s aContinue reading “When will I see my table again?”
Dance away.
Well, it’s been two days since I was up and around, mostly I have slept in-between, and now I realise why; my last writing mentions the marshmallow feeling and I know with this symptom, I need good rest, and yet did I heed my own advice? neh, of course not, I continued with my plannedContinue reading “Dance away.”
Send In The Tanks.
Just thinking of this title makes me cross, I am remembering an appointment I had nearly 20 years ago, with a consultant at the hospital. This will be more of a rant than a waffle! I walked to the hospital 2-3 miles, I had no money for a bus or taxi back then and walkedContinue reading “Send In The Tanks.”
