Consultant Happy still

Mr Merrick was really happy with my mouth. I mentioned the pins and needles, to which he said it was probably scar tissue, building up around the nerve. I told him it was painful, and that I could cope with it. He wants to see me in 8 weeks time.

I have been having a constant ache in my stomach/chest sort of area. Its been there for most of the last three weeks. I cant make my mind up whether its the lining of my stomach thats been aggrevated by my aspirin. Or whether its my muscles in my chest. I've put it off for a few weeks and have decided today to see the GP at 4pm. I am hoping its just stress related and nothing more. Obviously, being a cancer patient, it doesnt take much for the brain to run away with itself. Is it my heart? Do i have an tumour in my stomach? Are my lungs playing me up? etc etc.
It doesnt wake me at night, its just there when I get up in the morning, exactly the same as when I go to bed. Food doesnt aggrevate it, neither does alcohol.
Of course it could be down to being overweight and just putting a strain on my body.

I am off work this week, and not really had much time to myself, thankfully my boss doesnt want me in until next Thursday, so it almost runs into 2 weeks . . . she is so kind!!

Oh by the way, I havent taken a Prozac since 20th October

Ups and Downs

Life at home, has become rather stressed.

My son has split with his girlfriend, leaving a 9month old boy between them. Obviously my son and both myself and my hubby still want to have access to him. Which at the moment is not very forth coming.

My hubbys employer has changed, and we are still awaiting wages due to him since July.

My health is ok - I hope
I had my flu jab on Monday, and I have my check up at the hospital next week. I have noticed that recently, every time I move my tongue over the right hand side of my mouth, I get a 'pins and needles' feeling all across the lower part of my jaw. I am assuming that is the nerve doing that. I will ask my consultant on Wednesday.

I have decided that I am too overweight. I must do something to try and reduce it. I love my food and have a very sweet tooth. I do walk to work every day, but that is about all the exercise I manage. Course, having no boobs makes my belly look even bigger than it really is ....
