For my Birthday we headed down to the coast for the weekend! Broadstairs had mixed weather, we had to dash for shelter at one point after lunch as it is safe to say it was coming down in stair rods!!!
The seagull was not impressed, we sheltered and Mum, Dad and Andy had a coffee - Mikey had an ice cream, well he was at the seaside!! We had tried ice cream cones the evening before, Mikey wore most of his and then threw it at a large gull who happily flew off with it - not quite what my small person expected to happen, but I'm sure he has learnt not to throw food at seagulls now!
The most recent event has involved me getting decidedly bruised... I got a call from the assistant to one of my Neurologists on Tuesday. It appears I was supposed to have been called in for a blood test in May, it wasn't urgent but could I call her back asap! I called back the following morning and she asked if i could drop into the hospital. apparently there was something they were checking for but I didn't understand what she said and Google just assumed I wanted to know about Febreeze... I dropped in on my way home to pick up the forms to find they wanted the blood there and then! The first attempt failed and didn't even bleed when the needle was removed so there was a quick dash to the Richard Stevens ward for someone else to have a go, scarily the first nominee was a Dr, but thankfully a nurse was found!!! She also failed the first attempt so resorted to my right wrist. The blood flowed sluggishly (so much for the blood thinners) but all day Thursday you could almost see the bruise spreading. My wrist is now purple and black and stiff and I can't grip anything . The samples have been sent up to London for genetic testing and I am praying he has jumped to the wrong idea. I am being tested for Faybry's disease... If I have got it there is a 50% chance Mikey does as well and it will take 2 weeks for the results to come back for me and then he may get tested too. I hope the results are definitive as a kidney biopsy really doesn't appeal to me - unless they can knock me out first!!!
