Good grief ....

So I finally went to the doc again today, with my X-ray and CT scans done last Thursday. Turns out my spine is deteriorating - thanks to having ridden horses for years and giving birth to four whopping great babies and probably a crap diet for so many years. So the numbness down a third of my body is likely to be there for the rest of my life.

Now this wouldn't bother me too much, but he says in two weeks I will be fit for looking for work again. So tell me, are there any employers out there who would not have a problem with someone who has little to no control over their bladder due to numbness? If there is please give me a call.

He had to ring the pathology lab for my heliobacter test results. Turns out I probably have an ulcer in my stomach or duodenum. Explains the feeling I have in my abdomen. So I have some antibiotics to treat that. The specialist said I have to take them for three months. If it isn't gone by then, I have to go get the colonoscopy done.

So I am in two minds whether to go to see Centre link and find their opinion or just go and see another doctor. I should probably try and find where my last doc went, and talk it over with him.

More interesting than Politics - we still have a hung Parliament - but we think Labor will probably get in.
