As the title suggests - 3pm to be exact!

As I have said before, my weight has always been an issue with this man, however, with my recent infection and I'm still a walking dot-to-dot puzzle, I think that removing the offending vein will take priority.

I am expecting to discuss dates for surgery with him today, and I also have to discuss the stockings with him, as the latest ones I have are far too tight and hurt my legs.

I will let you all know how I get on when I come back

Right folks, just got back - he was running over an hour and a half behind

However, it is good news - Im booked in for surgery on 3rd October!!  Fingers crossed I will be out the same day, but I may have to stay overnight due to my high bmi.  He looked at my leg again and decided that it couldnt wait any longer.

Vein man also had a look at my 'rash'.  Which is in fact shingles! No wonder its painful!!  Was just at the doctor's yesterday and even when the locum gp looked at it he didnt say it was shingles!  Hmmm a quiet word and an appointment needed tomorrow methinks!!

Right now, thats that - Im off to take my turn at Scrabble lol!!
