Nov. 28th, 2015 09:09 pmI haven't been watching the dancing this year, but I keep catching bits of it when my parents have it on. I have to say I find Peter Andre a really unsettling human being. Like, if there was one person in the world that I wouldn't be surprised to find out was a robot, it'd be him.
My procedure's on Monday. Ever since I got the pre-op stuff all sorted I've been paranoid about getting a cold, because they don't like you having a productive cough if you're going to be anaesthetised. And now I have a small one. To be honest, my mum had a cold last week, my YN came down on Thursday having been up coughing all night, and I worked an extra shift at the Hospice yesterday and the lead receptionist was coughing all morning too, so I guess it's no surprise. So far it's just my nose feeling a bit sore and snotty, and my throat feeling a bit sore and having a frog in it every now and then. Nothing that would mean the procedure would have to be called off, but I keep worrying it's going to get worse. I'm going to take some paracetamol and get an early night tonight, and hope my body just fights it off. I really don't want to have to put off the appointment, I want to get it over and done with.
There's more to consider though. I had thought once I was done with all the pre-op stuff that was it, I just had to get to the hospital on time and let the doctors do their thing. But I have to go nil by mouth, and I can't have anything to eat after 7.30am on Monday. And mum and I have worked out that I probably won't be having the procedure until at least 2.30pm, so. That's a long time to go without food. So do I get up specially and have something to eat at 7? That would mean I could take my Sertraline with a meal and a drink (as this box tells me to do), but then it's like...what do I do after that, until I have to leave for the hospital about 11-ish? Stay up? Go back to bed? It's really very convenient for me to have the procedure in the afternoon, but now I have OTHER DECISIONS to make. Sigh.

Nov. 16th, 2015 10:15 pmI'm a Celebrity is kind of great this year. Based on two episodes anyway - I don't normally watch it, but my mum does, and I ended up watching the first ep yesterday just for something to do. I love Jorgie Porter and Lady C, and even Susannah minus Trinny isn't annoying me as much as I thought she would. It looks like they're going to ship in some reality show type people tomorrow to try to stir the pot, but. Lady C's rant tonight was truly amazing.
Hospital appointment tomorrow, a sort of pre-assessment thing for a procedure I've got to have. I'm meant to bring in a list of all my current medication and I keep thinking I don't have to because I've listed it so many times before. But I probably should just in case I forget something.
