Downs and Ups
Ok, this has been a weekend of peaks and troughs. For those of you that didn’t know, shelly has been having severe stomach-aches intermittent recently, starting off about 2-3 months ago, and becoming more and more frequent until last week, when she had about 12 hours of Thursday without being in pain. When I say severe pain, those of you who know Shell will realise that she is no cry baby, so when she is incapacitated by the pain, then people should realise it’s pretty bad. The GP having been pretty useless had scheduled a minor test for this week, but by Saturday that was not looking nearly soon enough.
So, off we scoot to the hospital, where tests are done and blood taken over the course of about 12 hours, including an overnight stay for shell. They now think that it is possibly some-thing to do with her liver, maybe a reaction to some anti-depressants that she has been on. We hope so too, as this will be easily fixed. More tests are being run on Wednesday and Thursday, so fingers crossed.
On the Peak side, I have a new Job! I had an interview last Thursday, and was told today. So as of the 12th of October, I will be working in the Legal services Department of the university. I know that a lot of people are losing their jobs around now, so this makes me feel very lucky. It also means that an entry level administration job will soon be advertised at the University of Chester paying 14-16K PA. People let me know if you are interested.
A very minor note, when I was looking around the market for something to treat shelly with this weekend, I managed to find season 3 of Battlestar Galactica for a tenner. Score.
This post is part of my new effort to keep in touch with people, and generally being less of an lurker/hermit. it may extend to joining other social networking sites, such as the dreaded facebook, who knows?
