VIRTUALLY NONE.....

I did not cough much yesterday... but when I went to bed... I coughed and coughed till I felt like vomitting!!! So, I spent pretty much most of the night sitting up so I didn't cough. whenever I tried to lie down.. you guessed it, I coughed. Luckily Stew slept through it!

It rained something fierce in the night, a hedgehog visited our yard and make a ruckus, Izzy chewed a friggin bone right outside my bedroom door (noisy tart) and Griffin mutters in his sleep... all things I did not necessarily want to hear.

My mind was so tired I did not dwell on upcoming events (fortunately), but now that I am up..... I'm going walking first thing with my gym buddy, then it will be home to shower and make me nether regions "presentable" .... hmmmm .... then off to the hospital for the 12 noon appointment. I am sure it will be fine, and hopefully we will get the results in the next few days, maybe even before we fly off on holiday. later....




Am home from the walk... got really puffed and tight in the chest, but it's ok... now onto the getting "presentable"... No, don't think I'll go for glitter, pink bits or fancy shaves... and I certainly WONT BE GOING BALD !!!! lol








And No Plaits either ! later people....



Ok.. The Doctor was a really lovely guy, lots of jokes to make one relax ... he even got so cheeky I hit him one (lightly of course) which just made him laugh more!


The verdict: I have two "areas of concern", and so he took two biopsys, then he went up into my uterus and took a sample from there too... that hurt like hell I can tell ya! He needs blood tests and an ultra sound of me uterus as well.... he believes that I have two areas of either low or high grade pre-cancerous tissue... and combine that with my extremely heavy monthly bleeding means he will most likey recommend a complete hysterectomy. I will not have the results of the biopsy until we get back from holiday, and the ultra sound won't be for at least a month.


So, while I have to wait for results, I am not freaking out... if I need the whole lot out, so be it... I will just go with the flow for now. I am not going to spoil our holiday over this, NO WAY, JUST AIN'T GUNNA HAPPEN.


I choose to look on the bright side, thank you very much.


I had a evil lunch with Stew afterwards... and now we both feel ill.... we shared a piece of Bonoffie Pie and it was just tooooo rich. Serve us right! Thats me for now, am feeling really YUK and am going to go lie down for a while.

Banoffie Pie: A biscuit base, a layer of bananas, then a layer of butter, cream and boiled condensed milk concoction, then fresh cream and chocolate on top... extremely rich and sickly.


Today has been an awful day.... and I didn't think it could get any worse... I WAS WRONG!

Our 17 year old son Mike took Stew's company car to get to his netball game an hour ago... and had a car crash!!! He is Ok, but once again the car is NOT.... this car is totally jinxed, it is now the third time it has had to go to the panel beaters in the 6 months we have had it.... my stomach is churning I tell ya. It would appear Mike was in the wrong, so he is going to have to pay the insurance excess, about $1500 and I have just begged Stew to never ever let the boys use the company car again! I just want to cry ....cos I have been telling Stew not to let them use it for bloody months. I am over it now... I just feel sick.

You've just gotta know..... tomorrow my post will have a photo of the latest damage to the car! For now though, I'm going to have a sauna to relax me, then try to get some sleep tonight. nite nite and thanks for all your kind and caring comments and thoughts today...... Life in never boring in this house FOR SURE!

  2. My fingers are crossed for you - I'm sure you will be fine. Just be careful with the nether regions, I tried to make mine presentable with some hair removing cream yesterday and managed to take nearly everything off - I now look like a porn star!!

    If that works for you then keep it up. My mother is the same, she doesn't use anything on her face and she has nice skin too...fab! Maybe you produce more sebum which lubricates the skin and helps retain the natural moistures in the skin.

    HHUGE HUGS to you for today/your appointment.

  15. Thinking of you, hope all is well and that you don't fall asleep during it!! Onion and raw sugar is a great natural remedy for that sort of cough. Slice onions onto a plate sprinkled with raw sugar, cover and leave for a couple of hours, preferably the day and the sugar will draw the juice out of onion and make a nice little syrup that is great to have next to the bed for when the coughing fit starts. Works brilliant with my son who has asthma and sometimes coughs till he vomits with it.

  16. Will be thinking of you too and hope your appointment goes well and is over fast. Your funny about 'making it presentable'. They seem so many hoo-haas it doesn't matter. You're funny.

    I know what you mean by coughing when you lie down, sometimes you just need to try to sleep sitting up or lots of pillows.
    Take care.

  25. I agree a possitive attitude is definately the way to go! Go girl!

  26. Well, sounds like the verdict isn't so bad. If you "only" need a hysterectomy, you'll handle it like a trouper, Chris. I had one last year, and I've yet to find a downside to it - apart from the lo-o-o-ong month that I was banned from the gym, that is.

    After your previous surgery, it'll seem like nothing.

  27. That pie looks delicious! Remember to think positive Chris, the power of positive thinking is very powerful. You were very brave today, I needed a cry and a cuddle when I had my freakin tooth pulled, let alone what you endured! You are an incredible woman, and I know you will take each day as it comes!

  28. hey you,
    your attitude is amazing. I am so pleased that you are determined to enjoy your holiday and not get hung up with worry. You totally deserve to have a wonderful break away and I'm so happy that you have already made up your mind that thats what your going to do.

  32. Hey, a month off from the gym was nothing. The first question I asked my doc when we discussed the whole hysterectomy thing was "how long before I can go back to the gym?" He said a month, but I'm pretty sure he really has NO idea what I do there.... and I didn't bother to enlighten him. ;-)

    I was back training clients 2 weeks after surgery though. They just had to pick up and rack their own weights.

  33. Here's to some good news. Now just focus on your holiday and enjoy it to the best of your ability. We took the kids to the Gold Coast in March and we had the best time ever.

    Sorry to hear about your car! Darn kids!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Holy moly!! Glad that Mike is okay and the car, well, it can alwalys be fixed...AGAIN....;-)
    Hope your cough disappears soon!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes yes RELAX and Enjoy. Everything will be alright. The Pie looks yummy, but after reading what is in it I can understand the uncomfortable feeling you would get for eating it.

    Ok I've got to ask what is that thing sitting on the chair?

    Too bad about the car. Kids grrrrr.

    Yes I am going to talk to DH and get him to commit to something.

    Get that cough looked at before you go away. Hope you are feeling better ASAP.
