My Place

...seeing as the health centre had to cancel last week's appointment because the nurse wasn't able to attend, so tomorrow I'm going to the original nurse I used to see at the start, this is the lady who started me on the weight loss and blood pressure tablets. Since seeing her I've lost quite a bit of weight, reaching my targets each month and I've had my 1st lot of tablets strength increased and been moved to another kind of tablets as the 1st lot seemed to have stopped doing me any good.

I always get told off in a sort of mumsy kind of way so I feel slightly bad but not completely told off if that makes sense. She's a nice lady but I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her someday!

Nice to see someone different for a change but you get so used to having a routine when you go into see the normal nurse and then getting shifted to another throws that routine out the window so it won't be as comfy as usual. Maybe that's a good thing.

I'm missing them more than I thought I would've.

My hand feels a little lighter today without them and it's annoying. Hope Hubbie can find them.

Just reading this on the blood pressure association website and though I think it's a good idea and will greatly improve blood pressure testing part of me is going eeeeeeeekkkk!!!!

By having a small chip inserted a lot of fuss will be done with and false readings may be done away with too because I know from experience the nurse/doctor must do my blood pressure at least 4-5 times over the course of my appointment just so the 1st reading isn't just a fluke as the 1st reading is always higher than it should be from anxiety or worry. The thought of someone inserting something under my skin in my leg and then again near my groin just makes me want to run though! I'm not good with people wanting to cut or stick needles into me, other people yes, me no.

If it was proven to work though would I really argue against it?

Just read this on the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7852168.stm

Thank goodness I don't eat doner kebabs, always did think they were hateful things, now there's proof that they are!

Red Dwarf is coming back for an Easter weekend special!!!

All happy about that I loved Red Dwarf when it was on and still would watch it if it was on any of the Sky channels. Nice to see that the original cast will be in the special, that'll make it more watchable I think.

Feels like my head is going to drop off!

Have taken tablets but so far they haven't helped, I need to learn some patience.

...the reason being I had left them on top of the tv last night when we got back in from shopping and when I went to get them this morning they weren't there. The cats got them!!!!

Hubbie is not amused that I'm out of the house and I'm not wearing my wedding ring but as far as I can see if he can leave the house without wearing his wedding ring and I can't say a thing about it then neither can he. It's not one rule for him and another for me so he can go scratch.

He's off work today so he'll be able to find them when he's brushing the living room floor later today, must as him to check the cat's dishes sometimes things end up in there, am not sure why but they always look so proud when you find bits and pieces in them.
