I had a really really good night tonight :)
Di M I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandads foot, I hope they get to him in time.. though he shouldn't still be waiting anyways :mad:
its not all completely black, mainly just the toes which is why atm they dont know how much they will need to amputate (its gonna at least be the toes), thats why they did the circulation thing yesterdayQuote:

thanks :) i know they take so long not doing anything which is surely just letting it get worse! :rolleyes: there are so many other people on his ward as well with the same thing and they are just being left as well! one of the other people is black all up his leg and apparently when he came in it was only his foot but cos theyve left it so long its got worse! i cant believe the hospital think its alright to let that happen! :angry:Quote:

I don't know how easy it is to do as my GP did it for me.
im not sure how easy that is to do tbh. the hospital that hes in atm is one of the biggest (or possibly the biggest) in our area/county. and its apparently in the top 40 in the country (and if thats true i dread to think what the others are like!). my mum wanted to transfer him to go private cos my dad can get it discount with his insurance at work but my grandad didnt want to so i dunno if hed want to move to another hospital either. when i was in hospital (the same one) and my parents wanted to get my transferred to the private hospital cos my dad could get it free for me, i had to get my doctor at the hospital to sign me off even though he would be the same doctor i would be seeing at the other one and conveniently (sp?) he was never around to do it. so yeh dunno how we would go about doing that tbhQuote:

then went to see my grandad. the results of his scan came back today and the doctor said that he would come and talk to my grandad while we were there so that my grandad knew what was going on cos he cant normally hear them properly. but it was gone visiting time and he hadnt come so the nurse was trying to chuck us out and we were trying to explain about the doctor coming and she was shouting at us saying that he wouldnt have said that and that he would have meant that he would come to speak to my grandad by himself. luckily the doctor turned up then but he would only let my mum and my gran stay there so me and my sis had to wait outside. according to my mum, although atm its only really the toes that are dead, cos it happened so quickly if they amputated just the toes theres a 90% chance that he will need to have his foot/leg amputated anyway in the near future so my grandad has to decide whether he wants to risk just having the toes off and probably having to have another operation in a few weeks or amputate the leg now without having the chance of trying to save it. my mum thinks he should have the leg amputated straight away as she doesnt want him to have to go through more than one operation in such a short amount of time, my gran thinks he should only have the toes off as he might be able to save his leg, and i dunno what my grandad wants, i think he has dealt with the fact it might end up being the worst scenario anyway. the man in the bed opposite him had two of his toes off a few weeks ago and today he had two more off cos it had spread and his foot is now starting to go black too. so if thats gonna happen to my grandad as well then it might be best to amputate the whole lot at once but then it might not and then youve taken the leg off for no reason so i dunno
di marco, I am so sorry. Horrible decision to make. All the best xx
Went to the doctors this morning about my throat. I sorta knew I had tonsilitis last week but im going on holiday in less than 2 weeks so It was time for the docs. Got some antibiotics got to take 2, 4 times a day. This is the fourth time Ive had it now, although only the second I went to the dcotors about it. He told me that cos its my 4th time within a year, if I have it another couple a times to make it 5-6 times within a 2 year period and got to the doctors about it everytime then I could be reffered to get them taken out. I dont really want to have them taken out but if its the only way to stop it
Hope you recover quickly and that you are fit for your holidays :)
Aw Abbie i know excatly how you feel i ended up having my tonsils removed cause i kept on having it and it was sore everytime. Hope you get better soon.
I went to see Harry Potter last night at the Imax:D Was amazing could of been longer in my opinon and i did cry when dumbledore died:ninja: . Was wide awake when i came home so didn't go to sleep till about 4ish? My sleeping pattern's turning against me again:(
On the happy front i'm 18 in 42 days i am so excited :cheer: . I should be receiving post from Steff soon :D & My money came through today so should be heading up to the bank to get that cashed when my mother get's out her bed :lol: :D .

Hope the operation goes well D M if thats what they decided.
DM sorry to hear about your Grandad you must be all worried sick. hopefully the doctors will be able to save his foot without having to amputate it. Abigail glad you've been to the docs and got some antibiotics, hopefully this will clear it up as you don't want to have your tonsils out. I suffered from tonsilist a lot when I was at school no sooner had a finished a course of penicillin but I was back at the doctors witohin days. I got mines removed at 15 along with my adinoids and it was sore for about two weeks afterwards I had earache in both ears. It's more painful the older you are.
You mean Abbie :pQuote:

Sorry Abbie my mistake. :D
Haven't been doing much lately, mainly working, had work last night until close.. but didn't get in until 2 haha.
I have work today aswell but only until half 6 which is good, because it's going to be awkward.
So I think the plans for tonight are to get my friends down mine for a film and pizza night because I've been after one of those nights for agessss
I've been having trouble sleeping so took sleeping tablets which didn't work till like half 2! I took them at 10.05 was not pleased!.
Went out for a bit last night with one of my best mates cause she was feeling emotional cause of stuff that had been happening. I was feeling really emotional to i just wanted to curl up and cry and i don't know why hate it when that happens.
Today i don't know what im doing, i may tidy my room which my mum has wanted me to do since saturday but i've kept on putting it off. I don't know to be honest.
I'm having trouble sleeping too at the moment. I'm tired but just can't sleep.
I'm tired too. Penny cat woke me up twice with a dead mouse and an only slightly chewed moth/butterfly which I released.
Rowan Atkinson was at the crematorium today for his father-in-laws funeral. For obvs reasons didn't go up to see him though. Its been quite quiet this week in terms of work to do.
Going to go to the bank now to set up a student account with Nationwide.:)
I'd love to work in a crematorium, I love dead people.
:eek: Conversation is a bit one-sided though, isn't it? :DQuote:

Aww, that is a worry, but perhaps it is not as bad as you think right now. All the best xx
Thats what i think Perdita but she went for a biopsy about 2 weeks ago on her leg just to make sure it wasn't anything bad. And they said it would take up to 4 weeks for them to call her back and it's only been 2 weeks since she had. When she found out she was getting the Biopsy they were doing it incase she had bone disease. My mum thinks the only reason it's 2 weeks early they're calling her in is cause it is bone disease. She is able to have a operation but i don't want it to be bone disease. :crying: .Quote:

Just because she was called back two weeks before they estimated doesn't mean its bad news. Doctors often over estimate the time for appointments and test results so that you aren't ringing up when the results are supposed to be back to find out they haven't been looked at yet.
They could just have got her biopsy analysed quicker than originally though.
Yeah i know that's what i told my mum. & What i'm hoping.Quote:

I feel crap. All of a sudden, headache, dizzyness, sore side, hard to breath, earache & tiredness. So away to bed to see if sleep will help :).
Keep on wanting to take a panic attack to and it's not like i'm panicking over anything. I'm quite calm for tomorrow.
Hope everythign is alright Tannie, and I hope you feel better soon too :)
I got rid of my flu... and now I can't stop coughing.. it's really annoying!
Work wasn't awkward today... well not much anyways,which I was worried about, so that was very very good.
Ended up working until close as one of the girls couldn't come in today or tomorrow, so I ahve her shift for tomorrow too... roll on payday :)
You never see them usually I don't think, just stick them in the oven. :lol: Although today someone still had a pacemaker in and that explodes in the furnace so they had to take it out before they stuck him in.Quote:

I've had some good news today. My sister is pregnant with her first (and possibly second) child. We have a feeling it could be twins as she keeps dreaming about having two. I'm so excited, can't wait for March.
I'd quite like a new set of eyeballs that aren't sensitive to pollen. They've been red, swollen and dry all day. It's like having glass in my eyes. Didn't help that I took Maisie to a castle and it's all grass.
