Hitching a ride

Live food tormenting the dragon.
He got him eventually.

Yet another long day.
Had a conversation with someone who I respect very much, who started that chat with "Treat this as a Dad and Daughter chat, and hear me out before you interrupt!" How well he knows me.
Better than I thought in fact and definitely far more aware of how rough I am feeling than I thought I had let on.

This is why I love the people I work with.

Been to the Doctors. the positives...low blood pressure (100/50), steady heart rate (72bpm), cholesterol good (4.6), blood sugar good (4.2) and all blood tests hunky dory.

Which is great, but it means the potential to have a different reason for the pain has now pretty much gone.

My Doctor is referring me back to my consultant. Surgery appears to be inevitable. Some scans as well, just on the off chance that they might see something and avoid the need for surgery.

I am resisting the urge to weep but it is almost overwhelming and being aggravated by pain that is crippling me tonight. I have gone back ten months in the space of 8 weeks. How the hell can this be possible?
