Sounding off - sorry

Think she logs off early evening, so maybe move will be back tomorrow.

Me too - perhaps she's waiting until after the doc's appointment tomorrow so she knows exactly what's what.

Same here, Ella; have been looking on the pooter every half hour or so. Just want to hear she's ok.

Moved How have you gone on today? You've been in my thoughts this afternoon, I hope you're ok.

Everything crossed, even my eyes.

And me - am with you all the way with thoughts and prayers

You're in my thoughts, Moved. Very best wishes.

Deep breaths, Moved - I'm sure it will all go smoothly.

Thinking of you, moved...

move best sorted.

All the best move.

Thanks Ceesnan I'll be off soon and am frankly scared!

Hope that all goes well for you today

Movedalot good to see that you have been treated with some sensitivity

Movedalot so pleased you are getting the treatment from your Dr.s now it always seems to happen that 1 of the receptionists is a miserable !!! and the others O.K. always the same at our surgery too, but when you are poorly you could do without having to face a battleaxe, I'm pleased your DH was with you, I'm sure it helps, I always get silly when I go to the docs. and need my DH to keep me sensible, and not start crying, (what a wimp I am).I do hope everything will turn out o.k. for you .

Movedalot with a vengeance! and [chuckle emoticon]

You should be ok Movedalot with the dried figs, kiwi fruit, banana, apricots and Ortisan. And plenty of fibre. #forgodssakedontstraytoofarfromlav

Jeni I came quite close to marrying one but my Brummie turned up just in time and swept me off my feet.

Ooo aaaahhh...

Brummie s are very nice. Almost (but not quite ) as nice as people from the Black Country!

Only just caught up with this thread movedalot and I'm so sorry to hear what a difficult time you are having. It's good that you have such a good health care team and at last things seem to be going in the right direction. Thinking of you

That's such good news, Movedalot
As you say, kindness and understanding can help so much in worring situations.

Thanks all of you. Going without alcohol will not be a problem.

I just want to tell you what a good experience I have had. When I left the doc yesterday I spoke to a really understanding receptionist who fitted me in for a blood test this morning when there were no spare slots.

This morning we realised I should have made an appointment to see my doc as soon as the scan had been done so asked today's receptionist but she was not so helpful and told me I had to wait until Monday. I also asked if the fax had gone to the hospital and it hadn't. DH pushed and said it was a priority and that the doc had said it would be first thing but she wouldn't budge and said it would go this morning.

When I got in to see the nurse it was very different. The doc had spoken to her about me and told her to tell me that my scan would be at 1100 tomorrow. He must have called them again after I left yesterday. What a nice man. I then asked her what I needed to do if the scan showed something nasty and told her I couldn't see my doc until Monday. She went and spoke to the Practice Manager and got me appointment for 1550 tomorrow. She was so kind and concerned and wished me luck and said she hoped it wasn't anything nasty. She was a really nice Brummie.

It makes me feel much better when so many seem to be on 'my side'

Good luck* movedalot* glad to know things are happening for you.

Movedalot, hope you're feeling a bit better this morning - it must have been a really miserable time for you. On the subject of other things not 'moving' - I can recommend kiwi-fruit. 2 or 3 a day will give you vitamin C and all you need to keep regular (as they used to say in the All-Bran ads)!
