Waiting on Tests Results!

A few months ago, a letter arrived from the hospital. I ripped it open- “an appointment has been arranged for you to attend the Ocular Toxicity Clinic. In this clinic, potential ocular side-effects you may have from the medication you are taking will be assessed”. I know that they are checking for Macular Oedema, which occurs when fluid and protein deposits collect on or under the macula of the eye, causing it to thicken and swell. Yikes! First my noggin and now my peepers?????

New Year, Healthy Eating

Each New Year sees me making a list of resolutions that I end up forgetting about after a week. Usually things like “I’ll make my bed as soon as I get up”, “I’ll get to the bottom of the laundry basket”, and (the old favourite) “I’ll stop eating crisps and biscuits and stick to healthy, nutritious meals”. It’s usually a half-hearted attempt, I am a lazy lump when it comes to housework and love nothing more than sitting on the couch with a packet (or two) of crisps.
