What A Day

What a day. Well more like what a week~ On Monday I took Mark into the Metro Spinal Clinic for an 11:15 am appointment. Not only was the doctor late in seeing us it made the day an awful long one. It's an hour and a half drive from where we live to the clinic. So of course it was an hour and a half drive home. We we out nearly ALL day! I think by the time we got home I had about half an hour before I had to leave to get Angus from school. I guess I should be thankful that I had that long to sit down and relax.
Mark is going to need to get some cortisone injections in his spine. The clinic where we will be going to for this phoned today to arrange an appointment. This kind of surprised me as I only posted the referral yesterday morning and didn't expect it to arrive at their office until tomorrow. We now have an appointment for Tuesday week. I'm not looking forward to this one as I don't like the idea of Mark getting needles in his spine. However these injections if they work may provide between 3 and 6 months relief. So cross fingers it works!! Plus there is an upside to this. The cortisone will at least help Mark with his psoriasis :-P

Yesterday there was a teachers strike and Brodie's High School was affected by it so he didn't have to attend school. Lucky us had to endure many jokes and other things during the day. I need to have words with the Assistant Principal and tell him that next time I would much prefer if Brodie went to school rather than stay at home annoying me!
As it was I had loads to do and Brodie was able to help me. We went to the pathology place so that Brodie could have his blood test done. The paediatrician needed it done before his next appointment which is next week on Wednesday afternoon. We also managed to get to the medicare office, the post office, the supermarket and the egg farm! We're good!!

Once we got home Mark and Brodie started making the new desk. I'll have to take a picture of it to share but I wont be able to get it onto the computer yet as the printer isn't hooked up yet and it has the card reader. Although somewhere in our mess I did manage to find the USB cable for my camera. I just have to remember where I put it. The desk looks great! And what is even better Mark is now inside too. It's good to have him inside especially now that it is getting colder at nights. Not that he minded being in the shed at night as he does have a heater out there.
Any way the desk is done and we had a major clean up with all the bits and pieces that were on the old desk.

Today I also went to see my GP. I had to get that dreaded pap smear done. Thank goodness that is over for another two years. However I do have to wait for the results. There's no point in worrying about them either whatever the results may be I can't change them! I also mentioned about my arm and how it's hurting so much. It's been like that since before Christmas which I forgot to tell him about last time I was there. He wants me to go for an ultrasound of my shoulder. He did say what he thought it was but I can't remember what it for the life of me. No big deal though. I'm sure if there is something wrong he'll let me know. So all I need to do now is organise the appointment.
