and when i thought it couldn't get worse
i don't think my week can get much worse
i have had this odd thing going on were my heart rate goes crazy for five or ten mins even when i am sat relaxing
i have noticed it over the last week and a bit
put it to the bac of my mind and thought when i get a day off i will get the doc to check it out
well last night i was having a early night knowing the weekend at work would be very busy
it started again
so i kept calm and thought it will go in a few mins
i tried my meditation and it kept going but this time my heart rate was really fast then it would stop real quick give a few really deep beat then speed up again
i thought it was very odd so i rang nhs direct for advice
they asked the usual questions and a doctor then rang from the hospital by now my heart rate had been iratic for nearly a hour
he asked me to go to a and e
i went and they got me stright in
and hooked me up to a beeping thing that was quite odd hearing how out my heart rate was
then i had to have these pads put oa all over me
they were then attached to wires and it gave a reading of my heart from all over my body
by now i noticed my heart speed was more normal it had slowly been getting better from getting to the hospital
they also checked my blood sugar it was a healthy 4.5
the main doctor came and checked me over
and said i had to go to my doctors after the bank holiday and get a emergancey appointment
she belived it could be due to stres or it could be due to my thiriod gland
the tests had shown my heart was ok,they had seen how it was when i got there knew it was slowere than when i had phoned and said the tests would have shown a heart condition
thank god
so i am now off work
i didnt want to be off work as were very busy but i have been told i have to rest and get this problem sorted out with my doctor
in a way this is a good thing i have had tests all my life for thiroid
always it has shown border line
with that they couldnt medicate me
i have always been a big woman
and they never know why always asuming i am unfit and eat all the pies
i dont
i take care of myself i eat very well and healthy foods
i take alot of excersie and i am quite fit for my size
but were a thin person coud eat a slap up meal and all the things in the world i have alwayys had to take care and eat mostly freash home cooked food raw veg and salad and fruite
it has been a constant battle knowing what i do is ok and there must be a medical reason for my size
this might be what i have been serching for
we will see
added to this
i rang work
and siad i wasnt in
i got jip
for having a self cert letter til wed
i was acussed of running off to whitby for the re enactment
how when i am staying around the house if not in bed
the mistake came when work read my letter wrong thinking when i said i was seeing my doc after the holiday it
actually ment after i have been to whitby
omg cant people read
i am so mad now
i was ordered to take in my note for the doctor
this is as we all know stupid
you have five days on a self cert letter before it has to go in
i will now see what my doctor says
but if it is stress today is not helpping me is it
anyone know what i can do
i need advice on this one
ok i am going to relax and not stress now as i dont want a ambulance to a and e next time
love you al love nicky.x.

i work extra hours at a couple of hours notice knowing i wont get paid for the extra hours for a year
as all my overtie comes after april the first each year
i have recently done 51 hour weeks why well just to help out as i am nice i am loyal to my workplace and i love my job
i know i will only get paid 15 hours each week for this work
and have ful year to wait for rest of pay
why

i feel like i have been kicked in the face
slapped down and i feel so low

i have had to take a day off today
last night my ear got so blooming bad i couldnt even move my head
it was even painful to talk
so i got into bed and tried to lay in a position were i could try an€d sleep
i think it mst have been the antibiotics but i was soon out like a log
i woke up at 4 and couldnt get back to sleep
do you know the feeling when you are so in pain that you cry
as yo dont know what to do or when the pain will go
i tell yo i wouldnt wish this on my ex hsband
and i hate him more than anyone in this world
i would rather give birth to a 14 pound baby
as i know then the pain would just go
i got up with simon at 7 am and tried to be happy and motive
but the pain was so bad
i think the abcess is tarting to brst as the presure is really bad
i thought about how i could spend the day at work like this and came to the conclusion
i couldnt
one
i am in too much pain and i am feeling so low with lack of sleep and i would be too grumpy there
two
i dont want to be there if the abces bursts and well
would you talk to someone on a reception desk with green and yellow pus dripping out of there ear
so rang in sick
now i am feeling like i let them down
we are so busy at work
but there is nothing i can do about it
i worked sat.sun.mon.and tue in this state
i cant do any more
i already had tommorow off
and i know at work the most busy time wil be this weekend
so i am hopeing i am better and ready for the weekend
now today i am staying in my bed
simon is coming home from col at 12 so i wont be alone all day
i kinda started to panic thining if i was taken really il and all alone
man it is times like this when i wish i had a partner to give me a hug and say i will be ok
blah
note to self smile if you can
hope all of you who read this if any
are having a great day
love to you all love nicky.x.

and to add to it i have a abcess in there also blah pain
i was looking at the shadow before i went in thinking it looked like a jail.so i took a photo.to pass time while i waited for the doctor.
i got antibiotics and told it will burst soon great,,,and it could burst my ear drum.,,,when it bursts the ear canal is getting smaller with the infection as it swells and now the abcess in there is getting bigger as it fills with push and yucky stuff so it is pushing the sewing ear canal open mmmm yes i am in agony and having to work as i cant tae time off.i was told at work i was getting money docked off my pay for going to a emergancey appointment at the doc
thig is it int my fault i work part time they are making me againt my contract work full time for the next 3 weeks my argument is i should not get money knocked off they say i wil grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.,
then tonight in the evening paper i see a bit about my great great grandad beating up a cop a hundred years ago.

my ear was kiling me still
i tried to get back to sleep but couldnt
so lay there watching the news trying to meditate the pain away
i got up eventualy and got ready for work
walking to work was not fun
i felt as if i was walking all over the place
the joys of a ear infection
work was quiet today
john and phil hung the new coffee shop exhibition
i was on the desk
i can truely say nothing interesting happend
so i pottered around and took some photos of the windows
bord much!!!!!!!
home time soon came
and simon came to meet me
we walked down town
it was packed with bimbos in bob the buider costumes and loads of other drunken screaming fools
dont get me wrong i have nothing against people drinking
but what is the point of spending bank holidays drunk
i dont drink much
so when i go out i realy enjoy myself
but to get waisted and scream and shout making a fool of ones self is not my idea of a good time out
blah i must be getting old
so i got home ate something and upladed a couple of my photos onto flickr
wanna see them ????

since last time
tuesday went to the doctors
i wasnt looking forward to it but went along trying to smile
on the way a friend called me so met her and she came with me
the doc was odd
i was pouring out my heart to him
teling him i wanted help
i have got to a point with my loosing weight and i am not getting smaller
so i wanted to talk to him about it
i was really mad as he didnt even look at me when i was talking to him he kept looking at the computer
i told him what i was doing to help myself
eating healty food
not over eating
walking were ever i can
doing heavey gardening
and genurally taking care of myself
he eventually looked up
and told me i would have to see a diet specialist
blah
i have seen them before
i wrote everything down that i ate even water and they told me i was telling lies
so i agree to go and see one
just to shut him up
i dont understand whhy doctors give me a hard time
i know i am doing all the correct things so dosent it say there is something wrong with me?
they dont want to find a cause just lok for things that they think are happening
he aso told me if after seeing a diet person i havent ost weight i will be given medication
mmmmmmmmm
ok i ask what is that he says apitie supresents
i say but i know i dont eat enough i am worried about eating so i dont get big
he looks at me tuts and says we wil see
also they can give me one pill that breaks down fat
i dont eat fats i never fry things and ggrrrrrr whats the point
anyhow aafter a ong chat that goes nowere
he tels me that if nothing works they will give me a gastric band
i dont want a gastric blooming band
people die having that done
i want testing to see what isnt working what is making me fat and i want it fixing
i come out of the doctors really mad all he has agreed to is doing a scan to see what wasnt seen in my endoscaphy
so its off into town
go for a coffee in rosters and off to the photo shop to get some prints done form my new camera
i say see you to my friend and feeling really low i take simon to macdonalds for dinner
hahah you say she eats all the fatty stuff
actually i used to love going to macky d's bt for the last two years i have never been
i think s..... it if the doc thinks i eat rubbish i am going for a burger
i go in and think mmmmm ok i will have a salad
guess what sold out so i get a burger
while me and simon are sititing in there we see katie from next door
shes a young mum and has a baby boy
he comes in and joins us
we then wander around town and come back home were katie goes to her house to feed baby
she comes back a little later and we go into the garden and do some weeding
when i was doing this something flew in my ear
i pushed my fingre in and had a scratch
not noticeing i had mud all over them
doh silly
so it was home and cotton bud
to clean it
unfortunatly i pushed it in to far and bashed my ear drum
