Hospital Appointment Today

MrsSparrow

Hi all,

Sorry I havent been around for a while, the doctors put me on Tramadol for my pain in my back and I've spent the last few weeks smashed out of my head! Kids summer holidays have been busy too.

Just wanted to let you all know my appointment with the consultant is finally here at 3.15 this afternoon and I am very nervous! I'm worried they won't be able to help me, or it will be more bad news. My worst fear is that I will be unable to look after my two kids properly ever again.

I know it's always the worst before an appointment like this, but please send me a few positive thoughts today.

Hi Miss Sparrow,

Will be thinking of you this afternoon and with a bit of luck it will be a good appointment and help you a lot.

Try not to get too worried and I am sure they will be able to help and help a lot. Hey your going to be able to look after your kids no trouble so don't go into panic mode. This bone thing plays up from time to time but in between you get decent times as well. Once they know whats going on and start to help you you should start to feel a lot better.

With the trams make sue you tell them they are spacing you out as thee might be something else you can try that work but don't affect you the same way. I can't remember if trams did that t me or not but they don't now and it might be you find their good effects help but the side effects stop as you get more used to them? Ask about alternatives though flower.

We do half decent pocket duties if you need but will be thinking of you anyway. Let us know how it goes please? Cris x

I hope you have your notes to hand so you can cover everything that you wish with him. I am sure all will go fine, he may ask for Xrays or blood tests, both are normal procedure. Let us know how you get on. DD

Hello Kate,

I found tramadol makes me very, very tired. Add summer holidays into the mix and I'm not surprised you're exhausted! Make sure you take time to look after yourself.

It's natural to feel afraid but I promise it won't be that bad. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Please let us know how it goes. x

No apologies needed, Kate. Kids, summer holidays and arthritis are a powerful and exhausting combination.

I guess you feel you have a lot riding on this appointment. Just try to relax, tell it like it is and, if you’ve any questions or doubts about anything (s)he says, don’t be afraid to raise them. Be thinking of you.

Kate!

Will spare more than a thought for you this afternoon and hope all goes really well, the doc has some ideas and you will feel more hopeful about the future.

Of course you will look after your children...whatever else happens...you are their Mum.

Love and hope
