I'm Back!

[bk_forever]

Im back from my hospital test, things went much better (and quicker) than last time, I was home by about half past eight, but I'm still woozy from the sedatives so everything I do is very slow. Parts of my brain have yet to wake up, I think. They did give me two chocolate chip cookies before they let me leave, so that was nice. Now I just have to wait a couple of weeks for the test resuts.

At least that's the worst thing out of the way. Hopefully I won't need another gastroscopy any time soon.

Thanks to all my friends for sending good thoughts and luck, I'm sure that helped a great deal =D

Whew! I'm so glad it went better! ♥ You'd probably better get some rest until the sedatives are out of your system.

[bk_forever]

Yeah, I should, just wanted to do a few things online first, check in with everybody =)

"And the waiting is the hardest part." Yes, there really is a song for everything. I hate the waiting. Hope it all comes back 'normal, nothing wrong here, you must have been imagining it'. Keep us posted, please.

[bk_forever]

Or better yet, they find out what's wrong and it's easily treatable, that would be good =)

Thank you *hugs*

[ganamor13.livejournal.com]

Feel better.

[bk_forever]

Thank you, I'm sure I will. Just need to get some sleep now.

[too-beauty.livejournal.com]

So happy to know it went better than last time. The wait for the results is difficult but, at least, you got rid of the worst part.
Take it easy, rest and we will keep our fingers crossed.
Hugs

They didn't find anything too worrying from what they told me, so I'm just going to forget about it now. Got an ultrasound next week to keep me busy.

*hugs back*

[lexxiescott]

Oh, yay, I'm so glad it was easier and quicker than last time. Still not fun though. *hugs* Get some sleep and take it as easy as you can tomorrow - writing is nice and relaxing. ;-)

[bk_forever]

Writing requires thought though, and my brain is on half power, lol.

Yeah, much shorter waiting time though I spent longer in recovery because they had me sedated for longer. My throat's a bit sore today but nowhere near as bad as last time. I'm just glad it's over with.

[lexxiescott]

That's when I write either my weirdest stories, or my saddest. Lollipop for the Prince of Tennis fandom and Stream of Conscious from a Freak for Sherlock come instantly to mind.

I'm glad it's over with, too, so you can relax and take it easy for a couple of days. That's what you need more than anything right now.

[bk_forever]

Yeah, one more hurdle behind me. Relaxation is welcome. Got a coal delivery tomorrow though. Craft fair Friday and Saturday so if the weather's not too bad I might try to go. Then ultrasound July 7th, that's a week tomorrow.

My brain was just so sluggish yesterday writing was hard, but I got there.

[lexxiescott]

Relaxation is so awesome. :) I hope you get to the fair at least one day. I know you enjoy going when the owls are there. Totally don't blame you on that one. I've said it before, I wish we had something like that here.

My brain was mush today. The cat howled until well after ten and then I had to go and actually think at work today. I tried to enter call cards into the dispatch system without a card open. 0_o Rich kept yawning, too, which didn't help matters any. I'm thinking early bed time tonight.

[bk_forever]

Hope you sleep better tonight, that's not good when you have to work.

I'll have to wait and see. If the weather's bad though, I'm staying home because I just don't fancy getting rained on.

Did well on writing today, two pieces for challenge week, and four ficlets at comment_fic. I'm pleased. Tomorrow is 500 word fills, of which I did one today, hoping to get a few more done. I'd hoped to reach 245k this month, but I still need to write another 2000 or so words, so I'm not sure if I can get there. I forgot there's only 30 days in June and I was counting on 31.

[lexxiescott]

I slept okay, but not long enough. Really looking forward to the weekend. How about you? Better or about your usual for sleep?

Don't blame you a bit about that one. I find I don't mind the rain if I have no choice, but I'd rather not get wet.

YAY!! Sounds like you're charging right through with the challenges. Yeah, short months suck when you really just need that extra day. Monday is a holiday for us, so John scheduled me off. One more short weekend next week and then, hopefully, done with that. Oh well, it's an extra day to sleep and work on the novel.

[bk_forever]

You need that extra day to unwind, so make the most of it. Hopefully it'll restore you enough to get through the next short weekend.

I'm still sleeping same as usual, which is to say, waking up a lot and having to sleep sitting up half the time. =(

I made it past 245k! YAY! Got to write something for Challenge Week Day 4, and two of my other challenges have new prompts up, so I need to look at them as well. In awesome news, I took first place at fandomweekly last week, I found out yesterday =D

[lexxiescott]

I'm going to have to make a run to the shops, but that won't be as bad as it could be. Just have to see what happens and how it all goes.

Well, phooey.

Oh, yay!! Congrats on first place. That's awesome news!! And your word count continues to grow. Good luck with the rest of challenge week. :)

[bk_forever]

Thanks, it's going well, but I was out until an hour or so ago today, went down to town to see the owls. Held Magic today, he's a Red-Tailed Hawk from over in the US =)

I was chuffed at coming first, especially as I wasn't even expecting to place!

Hope you're managing to relax despite the shop run.

[lexxiescott]

He sounds awesome. :) Hawks are so pretty and so regal at the same time. There were tons back home so I'm used to seeing them flying around, but not up close. Down here, believe it or not, we have bald eagles. Talk about wicked birds to see flying around.

Half the shop run is over. I just couldn't face it all today, so I'm going to do the rest tomorrow.

[bk_forever]

Splitting it is a good idea, even though it means going out twice.

Magic was huge, almost eagle-sized. I hope the pics come out, I used a new memory card. I haven't checked yet because I had so much to do. Now it's late, I'm worn out, I've got indigestion so I can't go to bed yet, and I got hiccups =(

Bald Eagles are among my favourite birds, they're so majestic and proud =)

[lexxiescott]

It was still tiring, and my foot ended up so sore I couldn't make the cookies I promised the guys. They'll just have to wait until next week and I'll smack them if they complain.

I hope the pics come out, too. I hope you're feeling better now. Get some sleep.

[bk_forever]

Ow, sorry your foot's suffering!

I'm still tired but I slept okay last night. Been a busy day though, more coal delivered, other things to do... I still haven't checked the pics I took.

[lexxiescott]

It's doing better today, but I didn't walk nearly as much. Wish I could afford to take a month off and not walk to let it totally heal up.

Sleep is good. It's a trend we both should aim for more. :-) Does sound like a busy day for you. Good you can get the coal in now before the winter rush starts up again.

Wish I could send you some of our heat right now. We hit a feels like of 101F today. This is hot spell times ten right now.

[bk_forever]

Sheesh, you could do without that kind of heat! You must feel like a wilted salad.

Coal house is now as full as is practical, hopefully enough for a couple of months. Always good to buy when it's a bit cheaper.

More sleep would be wonderful, and less walking for you. I just have to get through tomorrow's hospital visit then maybe I can relax a bit.

[lexxiescott]

And then some. I'm hoping this weekend will be the peak of the recent hot spell and give us a small break. I'd take low 90s at this point.

Saving money is always such a wonderful thing. :-)

How'd the visit go? Hope you can get some rest tonight and relax with writing tomorrow.

[bk_forever]

I've not left yet - my appointment is at 2pm, I'll be leaving here in about 3 hours. it's cloudy and dismal out.

Hoping to write a bit before I leave here, maybe for slashthedrabble.

I love Janto

See how many care.
Every one is on your side.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

I know, it's so good to have so many supportive friends. I'm truly blessed =)

*hugs*

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Hope the results are good!

[bk_forever]

So do I, I'm so tired of being poked and prodded.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

It wasn't that long ago you were recuperating from another medical procedure.

Take care.*hugs*

[bk_forever]

Yes, the same one. They had to re-do it with a narrower tube this time because it got stuck last time. I'm glad it's done now.

Thank you *hugs back*

[m-findlow.livejournal.com]

So glad that things went off without a hitch. Hopefully now you can relax for a while and get back to enjoying the things you like doing and not be worried about tests. :)

[bk_forever]

Hopefully, yes. I've got an ultrasound next week which won't exactly be fun, but I'm not really too worried about that.

Thank you =)

[owensheart.livejournal.com]

Glad yhe worst is over. All the best to u.

[bk_forever]

Thank you. Even though I knew I'd be sedated, I was still dreading it!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Fingers cross that you get good results. Please keep us in the loop.

*hugs*

[bk_forever]

I will, and thank you. *hugs back*

It didn't sound like they found anything especially worrying though.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

That's always a good thing!

[nightchild78.livejournal.com]

I'm glad everything went well and I hope you'll soon have results, answers and an appropriate treatment.
Keep us posted. *hugs*

[bk_forever]

Thank you. I'll do my best to.

I'm glad that the test is done. Hopefully they won't find anything serious.

[daniforblue.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know I'm late, but I was pretty busy lately with work. I was so exhausted I went to sleep every night the minute my head touched the pillow.

I'm glad that the test is done. I know how it sucks. I had two gastroscopies in my life.

I hope you'll get good results back soon, and that you can leave all those worries behind you.

Try to relax and write on. You know it does you good. :)

Love

Dani

[bk_forever]

Thank you, I'm glad that one's out of the way.

I'll do my best. Unfortunately, I've got a hospital appointment today for an ultrasound =(

[black59.livejournal.com]

with much delay: HUGS !!

love

[bk_forever]

Thank you *hugs back* I'm recovered now.
