Thank you @eth @Lee82 @Maggie @NatureLover @Former-Member 💛💜

I am still quite anxious about it all, I know hes being thorough but when he wants things done yesterday its abit worrying.
I have a big day on Monday with having to go into the clinic and the hospital, ringing up for the MRI, the horses and I have the kids after school till midnight as well. I don't know how im going to fit it all in!

the procedures themselves im nervous about as well esp the gastroscopy. im hoping it wont drag out and these can be done quickly to try and get some answers.
I keep overthinking things a lot today.

thank you for the quote @Maggie its very sweet of you



I have the kids again this afternoon from 330 till 9pm. hopefully it will go quickly since I need to go to the shops and then dinner as well. mums trying to enrol my sister in a sporting things which is good but shes also indiciating that im the one that's going to have to take her. I said so are you going to make it for your day off and she (as in my sister) will have it on set days so she doesn't know. I cant see why my mother cant have one day off besides sunday off, she always says she wants to do more stuff with them but instead of taking shifts that are during the school day she makes them before they are home from school till midnight. she takes them to school but wow an hour before school with them getting ready doesn't seem like extra time with them to me.
its incredibly frustrating.

Little one that is great news, I mean you where finally heard and taken seriously. I know you might be feeling a little worried about the procedure and everything but at least now you will have answers. Sending you a great big hug.

I can understand your anxiety around all the test especially when he suggests they are urgent. Just take one day at a time sweets and one test at a time. You are going to need to put your foot down with your mum hun as you are going to need more support around your appointments and I don't think its very fair that you now may have extra activities after school to worry about. Makes me so angry that you are being treated like this and not appreciated for what you do for everyone. 😡😡

What @Lee82  said. 👍

I hope Monday goes all right despite all you have to do @outlander ...

  @outlander   you have resilience way beyond your years and I am confident you will get through this.  I'm pretty sure the gastroscopy will be a day surgery procedure (like a colonoscopy but the other end thank goodness) - it will be gentler than a full anaesthetic (called a neurolept I think - puts you into a deep sleep - @Sans911 might know more than me).  The only thing is they will probably want someone to take you home.  I could be wrong about some of this but what I am saying is 'this too shall pass' little one.

@outlander your post made me smile hun 😊

I am so glad you got a caring specialist who is taking your results seriously. It is about damm time you find someone more interested in you as a patient instead of the bottom dollar.

I hope this specialist can get to the bottom of things quickly.

Lots of love and gentle hugs 💖💖💖

I just popped in to say I saw this notification @outlander and I'm so pleased with this news. You've had had someone super nice who's looking out for you.

I'm not ready to come back here yet. Sorry. I've got my mother staying with me, and she's having all sorts of issues with a new rental through state housing. She's very emotional and up and down. So she's needing a lot of support and help to try to sort things out.

I'm missing you very much. It's took a lot of strength to stay away, and I've been so tempted to come back. But I just need a little longer. I hope you understand.
