Today I am "billy lots of mates"!

Set my alarm for just before 8am and got a GP slot at 11am. Made sure my list of questions was comprehensive, enjoyed a very leisurely breakfast and bath and was given a lift. Waiting, waiting, waiting, 45 minutes later and I get the call. So my calcium level has dropped more since last Thursday and the GP didn't really know what to do about it! She made a guess about taking some more of my chewy calcium tablets, said I should have another blood test on Thursday and then asked that I call the hospital to check if that was OK!!!!

I was not particularly impressed at this point but ran through my list whilst I had her attention. She did manage to do well on sorting me out some waterproof dressings, so that is good. The histopathology report was not on the system yet so that will have to wait.

Well I went to find Mum for a lift home and told her what I had been advised. She suggested I pop into the ward at hospital to discuss my calcium issue and then I remembered that my lovely man has a clinic on a Monday morning, so I decided to gate crash that. Of course the lady on reception was not very willing to just let me gate crash, but it's not what you know, it's who you know and when I spotted my cancer nurse and said hello and why I was there, and the pre-op nurse asked why I was there, the doors suddenly opened before me! Along with that the lovely man walked through the waiting room and spotted me and before I knew it I was in the office with the nurse and him discussing what needed to be done. He told me all about critical levels of calcium and basically I am not needing aggressive treatment, just a little vitamin D to help me absorb the calcium. So another blood test on Wednesday morning and to see him in the clinic Wednesday afternoon - he is rather lovely and I certainly don't mind waiting to see him again!!

Annoyingly though, I had to go to the hospital pharmacy to get my new drugs and that took an age...

Finally got home, quick delicious home made soup for lunch then the visits began! Friend from my beauty's school first, then my beauty and her Dad (we played Junior Monopoly and she won thank goodness), my sister next and just now another friend has turned up.

Most go.... Got a late night pass out too
