I know - 2 weeks they said - but I wish I could get an answer. tearing my hair out trying to sort out our old house, the bankruptcy, Harry's childcare, Mum's problems, Steves concerns - I desperately need my own space and I just want to scream....!!! It was breaking point on Sunday and I just wanted to climb into bed and be on my own, but no chance. Monday went by like a flash - Steve did some home cooking with Harry, making the mincemeat for our mince pies and then he is trying to get back into

Its been a bit of a funny old week this week. Christmas seems to be on our doorstep and we haven't got much in the way of preparation yet but as usual money is a contributing factor. I had one of my interviews cancelled next week - I was unable to make it so tried to rearrange it but they have now cancelled. I still have one on Monday though. Need to cover all my bases in the event of not getting on the course. We took Harry to a local school Christmas fair last night. It was at my old primary s
Here I go into the blogosphere. My name is Jack and I am a forty-three year old Amer-asian male. I have two girls, Hannah is nine, Olivia is two. I have been married to a wonderful lady named Kookie for five years.I had my first pit op June 1st 2000. I had a recurrence and a second op Jan 2005 which resulted in a pit removal. I take Synthroid, Hydrocortisone, Androgel, DDVAP, and HGH every day. I still struggle every day with my recovery.As the result of my first op I was medically retired. Kook
Olivia and I had a good morning as we went to the gym early. She went to the nursery to play with her friends and I worked out on my chest, triceps ,deltoids. I didn't do cardio because we had a tight schedule with gymnastics for Olivia before lunch. Olivia is doing great at her new gym. She used to take it at the YMCA where the instructor would pull out mats and bars on the basketball gym floor for the lesson. The new place is a real gymnastics only gym. It is huge with all new equipment and
I posted this on the boards, but I'll post it here as well...had my nursing interview yesterday and here's how it went...It was a bit of a long one. There were 4 of us being interviewed. The 3 other women were in the 20's and were applying for the full-time course, so I was the only one being interviewed for the flexible course. I felt like a bit of a Mother Hen actually as the others were quite quiet and reluctant to speak up. We went to the main admissions office initially to hand in all of ou
Its 8:20am and I am all out of sorts, don't know if I am coming or going really. Yesterday was very hard...I still feel I am on those sidelines watching my life go by and not having much control over anything...things just seem to be slipping away right now and I am really scared. Yesterday, I tried to give myself a pep talk - I used to do this when I had cushings, give myself words of encouragement to kick myself up the bum...slef-motivation is the word for it...lol!! I was determined to take a
I went to the house to pick up some more things today. Went through all the post - it's not looking good. If we don't get the bankruptcy sorted out soon then we will have our house repossessed - we have also had a notification that the car will be repossessed. I am not too bothered about the car but we need to get the house sols. I am so upset. We will get in touch with the mortgage company to see if we can sort it all out. I am just getting so tired of all this now...it is really taking its tol
Well, I got a letter from the University to say I have an interview for the registered nurse course on Wednesday 7th December at 9:15am. I have posted my thoughts in the forum as there are alot of things going against me right now. I've never been one to shy away from adversity so hopefully all will turn good in the end.I got turned down for the secretarial job though.Here's the link if you can offer me any advice or your thoughts - thanks...http://cushings.invisionzone.com/index.php...topic=142
As the days go on right now, I am getting more and more worried that cushings is making a comeback. Little things are happening that ultimately get me thinking...I am getting more and more exhausted and just want to sleep, dark hairs have started to appear in places that I had dark hairs grow with cushings...I have been getting more headaces and the facial plethora is having a field day...my knee keeps giving way and I can't walk that far without getting pain and feelign tired...I seem to have s
Harry woke with a start this morning, thinking he saw a spider in his bed...I had to make up a story about a spider who wears 8 shoes just to make light of it, fortunately Alfie, my Mums cat came in and saved the day...it put a smile on his face anyway and I think he feels a big boy now...bless.Its early right now, just gone 7:40am. The weeks seem to be flying by, onlya few weeks to Christmas and we are not even prepared, don't think we will be this year until the last minute as money is so tigh
Its been a relaxing day today. I went and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which was a great escape for a couple of hours...thoroughly recommend it for the big kids in all of us. Can't wait for the next film now!! Oh, well, will have to be satisfied with Chronicles of Narnia when it comes out in December.Started on the Christmas cards today...got a third of the way through and give up...got writers cramp I think!Having a nice relaxng evening with a large glass of port and lemon, watching
Now I will discuss the MRI results some more I guess. [goes to look for her glasses] [finds em]So, basically once my attorney knew of the new MRIS being done by the state disability office, cause they called her to tell her cause they LIKE me and want me to have Social Security disability, she sent a letter on to the judge. She expected the denial to be overturned in lieu of the new evidence. However, it was not and no response was received. How odd she said. So, now I have to get my doctor and
Well no reply from the hospital, so I don't think I got the job...nevermind...next one on Tuesday - all practice I guess - but I really do hate interviews, then again who does?!!Still wish I could decide on what I want to do though. I am just torn between making my family more secure with more money coming in to following my dream. I just know that if I don't do it now, I probably never will and the one thing I said when I was ill was that if I ever got better, I would do things that I want to,
Well I had my first of four interviews yesterday for a secretarial post in the Neurosurgery's Critical Care Unit. I was fairly calm right until I entered the interview room and then I was shaking like a leaf. Its been a long time since I have had a big interview like this, I hadn't prepared much apart from researching the department and its team so I winged it a bit. I managed to answer all of their questions OK, I think I gave a few good answers, may have waffled in a few places and not sure on
Feeling slightly better today, although did wake up at 4am...can't sleep...Now 5:17am and still posting here...what am I like! I know I will regret this later and be thoroughly exhausted...OK, time to get a few winks in before the crew wake up in an hour - can hear moving upstairs, so better get them in quick! zzzzzzzzzzzz
Its been a very rough week or so. So much seems to be going on in my life that my body is finding it hard to cope with everything right now. I think that is a big factor in why I have been feeling so rough hence the visit to the endo yesterday. Moving house was difficult and a big culture shock although there were major improvements in some areas like being with other people again and not feeling so isolated. Not having any spare money is hard - we still don't go out and I have rented an allotme
I gave the blog thing a rest for about a month but I am ready to blog again till I'm blue in the face... Its been a bit of a mad week this week and I need to get some writing done. I'll talk more about it later...need to get dinner ready for the mad clan who are pullin gup on the doorstep as I type!!!
