#TOTP For those in the fedi-world who may be completely mystified by the #TOTP hashtag it relates to a rerun on the #BBC4 TV channel of episodes of the Top of the Pops chart music show that ran from 1964 & 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_the_Pops It's a complete mish-mash of genres, acts, presenters and styles. It's a fedi-cult

I collected the grandson from school as arranged. We've made tea for both of them. Dad has been on a pub crawl in that London. Mum has been doing work stuff, but not working. Why are we still sitting freezing in their house and not in our own home? (No, I haven't a clue what time one of them will be here) Bored. #family #grandparents #MyDay

@Troggie@beige.party At a guess, it might depend on how they are removing /thing/ it might be ok if it's laser treatment. But depending on what /thing/ is, and how deep it is, I might be more concerned about infection.

Good morning. I'm feeling 'all over the place' I'm still getting over the feelings I have (mostly bad) about Thursday's clinic consultation, but I think I've got a way forward if my GP is unhelpful. All I really want is to get my urinary symptoms under control until I have the further tests, and to know that my breasts are safe, and there's no major underlying medical issues - I don't think that's too much to ask. To balance that, I had a good day yesterday...

I've finished writing a comprehensive, but succinct, list of points and questions for my Urology clinic appointment tomorrow. I just hope I get the chance to ask all the questions, and if I do, get some coherent answers. Too much information follows: I've been panicking about the urine flow test I've been warned about because I will need to 'do' at least 150ml in one go. When I was doing the fluid balance chart my average wee was about 70ml. By drinking water at regular...

Hello and good morning. Morning where I admit being sorry. Sorry, but I'm here moaning again. Again about poor sleep. Sleep that was disrupted by intrusive thoughts and hormones. Hormones that can get in the bin, but I've come to accept. Accepting is easier than fighting. Fighting is the least of my priorities. Priorities for me are family and health. Health presently is about my clinic visit tomorrow. Tomorrow is intruding into my thinking. Thinking maybe I should concentrate more on t...

We're back from a visit to see our daughter. It's her birthday tomorrow but September is always difficult for her because she has flashbacks of her suicide attempt and that triggers memories of her abusive marriage. She's doing a lot better this year, partly because shes got the support of her girlfriend. We had a decent pub meal and a bit of a walk. She's going to be fine, she's stronger than ten of me. #today

I've been feeling very sorry for myself today. I think it's a mixture of worrying about the Urology Clinic Appointment on Thursday as well as being generally 'uncomfortable' in my skin at the moment - which is making me feel uncomfortable generally. I wish I didn't have these unpleasant physical sensations that I'm plagued with for the time being. These separate items are not unrelated. It's not depression and I know it'll pass. But, I wish it'd pass quick...
