Yes I know... I disappeared off the face of the earth again.... sorry about that but last week could have been a much better week than it turned out to be.
My pneumonia hasn't cleared... so back on another course of anti-biotics & as I am typing this... every time I breathe in... all I can feel is like bubbles in my lung.... I have to get another xray carried out on Friday to see how much fluid is still lying in my lungs, so I am hoping that it has gone down considerably. Then I have to attend the doctors 10 days after that to get my lung checked again & see what the result of the xray is... Fingers crossed that I get the all clear then as I was so disappointed last week to be told that it hadn't cleared.
In addition to that, Rob's medication has been changed & is not working properly so we need to get him back to the docs to see what can be done... he is back to being up half the night again so not a lot of sleep being obtained in this house at the moment & I had a fight with the hospital over his appointment with the specialist... wait for this... they changed his medication in June & she wanted to review him in 3 months to ensure it was working (which it's not) but the earliest appointment they had was October... ok it's only an extra month.... well that appointment was cancelled & changed to December... hmmmmm.... ok try & go with the flow as these things sometimes happen.... well low & behold we received another letter cancelling this appointment & putting him back to March.... I don't think so!!!!! On the phone I went & did I throw a wobbler or did I throw a wobbler.... believe it or not... all these appointments are being cancelled due to the specialist being on annual leave.... how lucky is she to be able to holiday every 2-3 months during a credit crunch!!! Not my problem I said & as far as I was concerned this was now turning into a case of patient neglect.... well.... the outcome is that he now has an appointment in January.... so we shall just have to wait & see what happens.

Hi Lorraine, sorry to hear you're still not well. Hope the antibiotics start working and you feel better soon. What a carry on you've had with the hospital about Rob's appointments. It's really dreadful the way they treat people. You would think there would always be someone to see people wouldn't you? Thanks for taking the time to leave lovely comments on my blog.Can't wait to get down to Crieff on Saturday to see Oliver and Poppy. Oliver was less than a day old when we saw him so he will be quite different already. Take care now and keep getting better.

Me again! Forgot to say good luck with the studying, I know what it's like. I studied for 6 years with the OU for a BSc. Sometimes it can be hard work.
