Time to update!

It’s been quite a while since my last update, so I’m going to try and cover a few topics in one go. Here’s the short summary: me and Flopsy are doing okay, we’ve had our ups and downs, but mostly we’re doing fine.

The longer version has some kinda personal stuff in it so if you don’t want to know then you can safely stop reading now.

Since last year I’ve had a medical issue of a delicate nature but I was scared to go to the doctors about it. I finally did a month or so ago, and had a few tests to see what would come up. I finally got my results yesterday and it’s nothing terrible… but obviously it is still a bit of a worry to me. The tests confirmed I have several cysts as well as a fibroid.

My doctor has given me some medication that I’ll be taking for the next three weeks to hopefully reduce the symptoms and then we’ll see how things are when I next see her late August. We discussed another medication and the benefits of it, but I decided to just wait and figure out what to do later. It really depends if my symptoms are the same as they are right now.

We also discussed that I see a nurse that specializes in weight loss as losing some would also improve my condition so it looks like I’ll be keeping a diet diary for two weeks and then seeing the nurse – after that, we’ll take it from there.

Right now I’m waiting to hear back from day treatment occupational therapy. I’ve already been for my assessment (end of March) but it’s a case of waiting for a space to become available. It sounds promising, but I’ll wait until I’ve actually been there before I post about it.

In other news I’ve been working on a new website that I’m quite pleased with… but there are a few kinks I’d prefer to iron out before I link to it.

Thanks for reading. :)

    I’m glad you went ahead and went to the doctor, Suzi. It’s never good to wait around when you suspect something wrong with your health, which I found out the hard way. I’m glad to see that your life’s taking an upturn. Keep your friends updated.
