Feast or famine?

โ€ข24 Replies

Good evening you lovely people.

Is it me ? Or do you get feast or famine with medical appointments? In this last week I had an operation on my hand last Thursday. On Tuesday I had an appointment with the doctor about a skin cancer on my nose. I then had an appointment with the nurse to redress my hand . Today I had Physio and Monday I got a bowel screen test.

Lovely to get all this medical treatment I hear you say BUT how the heck am I supposed to do my own enenema ( cant spell that) on Monday with one hand, fibromyalgia, COPD, Spina Bifida, Scoliosis and Systemic Sclerosis???? Am I supposed to thrash around on the bathroom floor 2 hours before I go to hospital to stick something up my backside to make me poo before my screen test? And what if I need to go in the hospital transport?

So maybe sometimes you can have too much of a good thing!!!!! Lol ๐Ÿ˜† Luckily no more appointments after Thursday next when I get the stitches out my hand.

Sleep well ( if possible) love ๐Ÿ’• Lynn xxx ๐Ÿ˜˜

Oh sorry Lynn I'm really trying not to laugh but the picture you've put in my head๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's hard enough with the use of 2 hands but that's multi tasking on a whole new level๐Ÿคน๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Hi I know ๐Ÿ˜€it is funny really. One thing I wonโ€™t be doing any selfie shots that day lol. The worst part today was when the physio asked why I hadnโ€™t gone for a memory test following my last hospital admittance? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”โ€Oh! I forgotโ€ I said . ๐Ÿ™„. Ah well I hope that my weekend goes very , very slowly.lol

Thatโ€™s a lot to take in, hope all goes well.

I have got too many appointments that I cannot cope. I have instigated all but when it comes to the crunch time I cannot handle them. One task is too many let all alone 10 of them at once, my anxiety level way too high as the Fibro make me crumble if I run around too much ๐Ÿ˜

Hi

I'm the same, no appointments for months and then one or sometimes 2 a day!! I'm lucky that I've people who will take me, I don't want hubby having to take too much time off as he had just been made permanent in his job and I don't want anything to rock the boat!! Though his boss has said anytime he needs to go it's fine cos it's medical which I think is really nice. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Hi Lynne Thatโ€™s what you call a nice boss. Congratulations to hubby for being taken on permanent. ๐Ÿ‘xx love and hugs ๐Ÿค— Lynn xxx

Hi Lynne

I hope you had an ok day Hun. Weather not up to much but hopefully it will get better after Storm Dennis. I had a pretty good day today as had no medical appointments ๐Ÿ˜. However, still same old things make me so tired ๐Ÿ’ค. ( lack of sleep being number one) . BUT being the weekend I donโ€™t feel so guilty slouching around in my PJs .

The pain is also easing up a bit in my hand so I am going to try again to redress it tomorrow. Watch this space I will probably end up with the bandage ๐Ÿค• round my neck lol ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Hope you manage to get some rest tonight and a little sleep ๐Ÿ’ค if you can. Love and hugs. Lynn xxx ๐Ÿ˜š๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
