Hello All,
Not a very good day today. I went to the doctors because the antibiotics I am on just don’t seem to be doing anything and my ‘lesions’ are getting bigger. I saw a different doctor because my usual one is off sick, and I am so glad I actually saw the one I did because I finally got a diagnosis. I thought that I had much more than just infected spots. I would put a picture on here to show you all, but it would gross you out. Sharon can tell you though that it’s not a pretty sight. Anyway it turns out that I have Granuloma Annulare. It’s a skin condition that has no known cause and no cure! And it normally takes 2 YEARS to clear up on it’s own Most people have it on their torso, only 5% have it on their faces like I do. Because of that I will have to have treatment of some sort to help slow down the spread and to lessen it’s awful appearance, so now I have to wait to get that hospital appt. My doctor rang the consultant and he said he will see me ASAP, but the doc told me that if I don’t get an appt by Monday to ring her and she will nag again. She really needs me to be seen. So there you go, not great news. But enough about me…………
BattleAx - thanks for asking how I am, as you can see from the above, I’m not doing too great. The ‘lesions’ are spreading etc etc. I guess I should just be grateful that it’s not life threatening and get over myself
Annie - nope, my skin condition isn’t caused by anything I’m eating or doing, there is no known cause, but I am sure my stupid immune system is behind how fast it is spreading and how it’s not healing at all.
Great news about the possibility of that other job. How impressed were your potential future employers to offer you another job when the person ‘in house’ took the job that you initially went for. All that without meeting you, just imagine how more impressed they will be when they meet you in person. Not that you will need it but
Patti - I am glad you are just taking it easy for the rest of the week. Roll on Monday and you will be itching to get back OP and on that treadmill
Donna - that is amazing that you are going to see John Edward. It will be so spooky if he gets a message for you!! You will have to tell us all about it! How lovely of your neighbour to buy you such a special gift.
Carol - glad to hear that you put your shoes on to go on the treadmill With your feet still being sore you are definitely motivated by your cruise to carry on losing those lbs
Vicki - Daren is sooooo jealous that you are getting to go on a ghost hunt. Although he has had some bad experiences with ‘spirits’ he’s always fancied going on a proper ghost hunt. I am sure we’ll do it one day. I hope you have a brilliant time and that any ‘spirits’ you do meet are friendly ones
No worries about the email, I just wanted to make sure you had received mine.
Sharon - sorry we didn’t get to chat long this afternoon, I was sleeping for most of the afternoon after I was at the doctors. You know me, I like to sleep when I have bad news I’ll be on earlier tomorrow for a better chat I hope.
So glad you are back OP and feeling better already!
Midnight - that’s wonderful news that you stopped eating before getting full, that’s a great step towards losing those lbs
Nancy - I’m keeping my that you will have a better WI next week and will reach your goal.
Catherine - so glad that your computer finally arrived. It sounds really nice, I hope you get everything transferred successfully! You know you said you were wearing your old lap top out, did you wear the letters off your most used keys? I do a lot of typing and have worn out some of the letters. Good job I can touch type and don’t need to see the letters!
Ayah - what a lovely positive post, it’s the kind of thing a lot of us needed to hear
Well it’s time for me to get some sleep. Take care all and I’ll post again tomorrow.
Hugs,
Ammi
