Good News, Bad News

[emanix]

My life is a game.
(Subtitle: Why I Haven't Posted Regularly for the Last Few Months)

Good news: Polyday happened.

Bad news: I get sick immediately afterwards

Good news: If it was swine flu, it didn't kill me!

Bad news: I immediately get something else.

Good news: A holiday makes me feel better.

Bad news: Travelling sets me back to square one.

Good news: I finally get around to registering at a doctors surgery.

Bad news: It takes weeks to get a referral.

Good news:Having mastitis (and sleeping 12+ hours a day - twice my normal amount) for two months finally flags up that I have an underlying problem, so I can get it treated.

Bad news: Autoimmune thyroid disease means I'll be on medication for the rest of my natural life.

Good news: The treatment works (and I'm on the way to feeling better).

Bad news: When I finally get referred for an ultrasound exam (for the mastitis), I'm out of the country, so have to wait two weeks extra.

Good news: While I'm away, the mastitis finally clears up on its own.

Bad news: The day I get back I find a lump in my armpit.

Good news: I haven't cancelled the ultrasound appointment.


I guess I'm due some bad news next... Anyone fancy taking a guess?

(If I'm really lucky, the bad news is just that I have to get up early on Monday morning to get to the appointment. Cross fingers for me? )

Hoping my next good news is worth celebrating!

- Maxine.

So very glad to hear from you! I've been wondering how you were doing...

What a rollarcoaster ride. ::crossing fingers for more and more good news::

[emanix.livejournal.com]

It's been a very slow and sleepy rollercoaster from my perspective, since I've been in bed for a large portion of it. Thanks for the crossed fingers!

Fingers crossed. Armpit lumps aren't necessarily bad news, but I realise it's probably unsettling. *hug*, if it's welcome.

[emanix.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and hugs always welcome! :)

*(gentle) hugs*

you certainly appeared to be your perky self on Friday, the pills thing does indeed suck but trust me it does get to be second nature after a bit ;-)

(oh, and I should point out that you're an exception to what I was ranting about in my last post!)

Fingers crossed for your ultrasound!

[emanix.livejournal.com]

Hm, I was on the pill for eight years, and it never got to be second nature with me. Apparently I'm just not a creature of habit. At least with these tablets if I forget one or two I just get sleepy, rather than pregnant.

(and I'm an exception to what? Your dislike of London???)

Thanks also for the crossed fingers!

[hollykitten.livejournal.com]

Fair enough ... maybe my pill reigeme is a little easier to remember as its 3 times a day

(and what I meant was an exception to not feeling at ease around Evie's London circle of friends ... you're good at disarming me ;-)

*fingers crossed and thinking of you* - good luck!

[emanix.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Less swings and roundabouts
more of a see-saw :(

Hoping things get more stable and more fun xx

[emanix.livejournal.com]

All the fun of the playground!

Stable would be nice though, and ta.

Hugs

Ugh, a health version of Chutes & Ladders for sure. Hope it stops and everything works out ok.

Thanks, and thanks for the parcel of clippy things - it just arrived in the post. A lovely surprise. :)

[sunspiral.livejournal.com]

Glad they arrived quickly - enjoy!

(P.S. Looking after the Lori was all pleasure!)

::hugs:: hope things will be on the up and up soon. Looking forward to seeing you Thursday, it's been ages! X

[prolificdiarist.livejournal.com]

Eep!

*Huggles*

Eeek. That's a lot to go through. I hope the holidays have much more mellowness for you!
