23 Apr 2008 - Food!
Slow day at work so the day was long. No nice things to eat at work either. Just my boring soup, as usual.
After work we went to Dee's doctor appointment. Tracy (our doc) was puzzled at the strange, unusual story of the latest events in Dee's dodgy health. First we have to dump the contraceptive pill she has been using at the end of this pack, then we have an alternative pill for Dee to take. Different combination of Oestrogen and Progesterone. Higher Progesterone, I think she said. We have to try THAT for 6 months - 3 packs before a break/period, then another 3 packs before we go back to either get another pack of the same or report that we need another combination of hormones. I had the good sense to request that the doctor send a letter to Dee's school to confirm the symptoms she has been suffering, the treatment she has received and the ongoing problems to get them off our backs about attendance. I think Dee's attendance is about 85% now. The doc said she'd have to divulge health information. Dee and I are happy for her to do that so that we aren't under pressure to get Dee into school when she can't walk without holding onto walls etc., dizzy and at risk of falling again and so we don't have to feel guilty when we have to phone up when Dee's off school on consecutive days so often. We have nothing to feel guilty about, obviously, but it annoys me to think that THEY might be thinking that we are in collusion and Dee is truanting when she's clearly not. It just makes things official, that's all. Dee has to be careful with her weight too. If she goes up any more in weight, she will have to ditch the pills and have an INJECTION! She does NOT like needles so she has an incentive to lose weight now. LOL. Don't want her getting clots etc. Salads. Lots of salads. It's persuading her to eat "rabbit food" that's going to be *my* problem. :)
The food shopping arrived and I'm just about to make myself a peanut butter and jam sarnie for my tea. Because that's just what I fancy! :)
Some trousers I bought on eBay arrived but I haven't checked them out yet. Hope they're OK for me.
It's quite cold in here tonight - once I've finished my sandwich and enjoyed some choc, I intend to wrap myself up in the best - softest and warmest - dressing gown I've ever had and then snuggle down into my duvet covers and watch telly for a while.
Comments on comments.........
Linda - an ex-Brit, now Canadian has gone on her hols in the USA! Glad to hear you're having a good time Linda. With lots of Dear Diary friends too!!! That's great! Bet you're happy I introduced you to DD now aren't you dear?! ;-) Looking forward to checking out ALL of your pics. I know you'll have taken loads. Did you take your dogs and cat with you or are your neighbours looking after them? Perhaps your son is looking after them. Just wondering. I am quite familiar with the songs of the blackbird Linda and I really don't think it was any bird I've heard before. When I hear a song THAT pretty, I always immediately think - is that a nightingale? Up here? Up north? Only one that'd seriously lost its way perhaps. LOL!
David - don't fret! I found *some* of my Thyroxine tablets and have taken my usual dose. Presumably a cumulative affect will bring my thyroid back into stability again. I hope so anyway. I wouldn't like to take a whole load at once, that's for sure.
Richard - glad of your company and your kind comments, as ever. I hope your day is good too! Always happy to see comments from my DD friends. :)
Back's hurting again....enjoyed my sarnie....now I'm going to lie down and relax......
Can't wait to get my cake boxes of 90 minute discs so I can burn my A/B Road WAV files. Guess what? When I've finished with A/B Road and burned all of the discs in the Beatlegs set, guess how many I will have accumulated? This must surely be the biggest, longest set of Beatles bootlegs I've ever come across............ about 80 discs. Yeah EIGHTY! I'm not going to get all of THAT done in one weekend am I?! LOL. It's every single note, every voice that was captured throughout the recording of the Let It Be/Get Back sessions during January 1969. Everything is on there. I have, of course, heard much of this before on the Twickenham Sessions, 30 Days etc. but to hear every single utterance, note etc. in consecutive order will be verrry interesting indeed. Doug Sulpy's DDSI book - the latest signed hardback edition will be in my hand as I listen, so I can read and listen and really get into every single second of the recordings. I shall relish the experience. With a tinge of sadness as I listen to and read about the slow disintegration of the Beatles as a group. No doubt the preparation and burning of the discs themselves - inputting all the information before burning - will be quite a chore, but well worth it in the end. I will prepare, burn and then listen to each disc in turn. That way I get to enjoy them along the way. I LOVE BEATLEGS!! :-D
OK I *am* going to get some rest now.... there's a good programme about hyenas on the telly I'm enjoying. Much more than the Heathen Millstone programme that was on 4 last night. {sigh}
