I saw my employment support worker, he was brilliant. Really sympathetic to my needs. He's going to arrange it so we have the same appointment on the same day every week, and before each appointment we'll talk about how long I feel able to cope with the next appointment being, and what we will discuss, so it's not out of nowhere. Ideally he wants me to get a job that I'll really like, and we are going to see which job would be really structured in a way I can handle it.
It was really weird though, he looked like Chris Eccleston, big ears, big nose that didn't quite fit his face but still kind of handsome in that it worked for him.
I have a new Kidney doctor now, she's alot less doom and gloom that my last one. She's going to check my thyroid to see if that might be why I don't seem to be losing weight, so that's cool. My blood pressure is apparently excellent, so at least there is some plus with changing my diet and exercise to more healthier levels. I don't know why I was so resistance to it before. I suppose it seemed like I was being punished. It wasn't enough that I had depression and on occasion didn't want to live, but to actually have to fight for my health by giving up comfort food which was the only thing that seemed to make me happy. But I'm doing okay with it, I still have craving when I see junk food, but it's manageable, not like before when I only had to look at chocolate/cake/crisps/chips/coke/etc, and I was buying it to eat and drink.
Blood test actually didn't get messed up for the first time! It terrible that I wanted to congratulate the nurse, right? I miss my old kidney place, at least there when the nurse constantly messed up my blood test he was cute so I didn't mind so much!
Saw two things that made me laught on the way home, one was a list of times on a hairdressers, on Monday apparently the hours are "9am till Tired and Confused"!!
The other was a painting of a gingerbread man pole dancing!!
