@outlanderhopefully your pop can fix your headlights on your car. That is a shame about school holidays and not helpful for you. I know the next eldest is 16 right? Is she able to look after the younger ones at all?
I am going ok, some ups and downs. bit like a yo-yo atm!

Goodness me @outlander @Bella1978 @Snowie so much has happened since this morning!
Took me ages to read all those posts to catch up!
Good that you now know what it going on, and you are getting the correct thing treated and any further damage being looked for!
It's alway the sore toe or sore finger that gets knocked around when you least want it to! and the middle finger is usually the longest so it sticks out more too. You poor thing, I really feel for you. ![]()
My gp visit was helpful - not my ususual gp, different one again - and she has no idea how to behave with clients with anxiety either. So, more and different anti-biotics, with some other stuffs thrown in for good measure.
I feel so nauseas and dizzy I can barely move. Which is supposed to be yet another symptom of how this abdominal infection has spread. But, the meds are doing their thing, so things should be heaps better tomorrow.
Thanks for your good luck wishes too @outlander I couldn't get back to you earlier with everything that was going on. I 'm glad you're getting sorted and really hope you can get some respite from all that is going on for you at home too. ![]()

@outlanderwell there a few good movies out atm for kids.
Tomorrow I have to have blood tests and ECG. Have to see GP too. Was going to try and get in to see my psych ASAP b/c I don't see him for another 2 weeks. That will be a month all up that I havent seen him, which is a really long time for me. So shoudl be able to go on the cancellation list.
Besdies your hand, how are you going?

Things sometimes do move at a fast pace on here @Former-Member. We cannot expect to stay up to date with everything, would be impossible to do so. Hopefully you feel better tomorrow and the anti-biotics kick in and start helping.

more bloods for you too huh @Snowie i often wonder if the meds are worth it with all the tests but i guess a few tests here and there to be more stable is best. hopefully you can get into see your psych soon. a month is a pretty long time.
like you having a yoyo time but am going ok. had my meda adjusted again so hopefully that helps jsut have to play the waiting game for now.
are your kids still on holidays?

I meant to say, but must have missed it, @outlander that the blood tests they took last week showed there was an infection, so it might be useful for you to get them to do something like that for you about your stomach problem too. If you can, get them to mark it for bulk billing so you don't have to be out of pocket, or go to the ones who do bb if you can.
@Snowie thanks - yeah, things move fast but I do try to keep up iwth reading the threads I write in. Hope your medical stuff goes well too Snowie. ![]()
All the gps I've seen this last month have checked my blood work results and are REALLY getting pushy about the oxygen levels in my blood, yet the finger test doover the gp used today said everything is fine and dandy.
Going to sit in the Corner for a bit.![]()

we are going to have a look at allergies for my stomach troubles @Former-Member the main focus was my hand atm so hpefully now thats sorted we can see about the stomach issues. i did have bloods done not to long ago and she didnt say anything about an infection unless thats a separate test but i think she ordered full bloods- another 4 or 5 tubes taken out.
finger test?

@outlanderhopefully the med change helps you in a good way.
I hope I can get into see the psych. Not being able to talk to him isn't helping and making things harder. Kids are on holidays this week and go back to school next Monday.
