Day 4

Monday: We're up early since we haven't actually really been asleep, Kristina is doing her morning getting ready for work routine and I decide it will be a good idea to get to the chemist today to try and help the number 2's along and to get a tens machine. Mum lent me hers last week for shoulder/back pain and it cleared it nicely and the tension I'm feeling on my back right now is a little annoying and on top of everything else I could do without it so I think it will help and a good investment for the future (with my sedentary job I often get shoulder pain RSI, those mice have a lot to answer for I tell you).

So up we slowly get and I have some honey on crumpets, I might actually get obsessed with this honey business, it might be my new hobby. Oh yeah and some prunes....bored now!

Rose-anna is going to school to pick up some papers, she is a little quiet and I think it is because she only has one more exam and that is it for her school, its a sad time, my youngest child has now finished school, but we have prom to look forward to. By the way, we never had prom or year books, its very American but its nice and would have been lovely if we had something like that, all we have are memories and some of those are probably very worped by now.. they even write all over each other shirts, we looked forward to burning our uniforms that was the excitment of finishing school for us. (I never burnt my school uniform, I just chucked it, but it still meant the same thing)

So Mike is not going to work today as it was a horrid night and I'm still pretty weak actually and he will take me to the chemist.

So got Dolco-ease and a tens machine and picked up my amytriptaline for my migraines, she asked me to fill in the paper for next time but I said I wont as I am hoping not to need this anymore....here's hoping and waiting, I will check with the doc though and who's to know if the HRT I'm prescribed will not give me migraines anyway. Obviously I'm hoping not and he has prescribed a patch which is better and shouldn't give me migraines. It is something I am sadly obsessed about, having suffered the damn things since I was 13.

I get a call to say the HRT is ready so Mike goes to collect it, I have to read all the instruction leaflet before I start it and its a mamouth essay! So FYI- I only need 2 a week, so on goes the first one and I will update you as time goes on. By the way, until now and since the op I don't think I've had any hormones at all...I didn't feel any different.....Mum says of course not, its not an overnight thing silly, well I don't know do I, after all I have never had this before. Maybe I should read that helpful link about menapause she sent me after all....?

I'm gonna have a nap know as I am really tired.
