Being the newbie I am to N.S. I couldn't work out how to reach out to Physical Perfection to tell him to get on with life as you never know what tomorrow will bring. Obviously at the moment time

I'm a happy Bunny tonight Went for my oncology visit after I had the P.E.T. scan and T.A.C. a couple of weeks ago and all is clear after the scare I had. The next process is due in 6 months after I ha

Well I hadn't intended contributing to this thread but do you want to know how many staples I've got in my tummy?!!  Actually I'll spare you the details but I want to put on record that my experience

Fingers crossed for positive results Mick.

Had some brilliant news today. Harking back to Darkazana's Diabetes thread. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13433

I went to see one of the practice GPs this morning to have some tablets changed, yep no problem she said, here you go try these ones instead. Good !

Anything else i can help you with she asked. So I asked if she had my blood test result from last week yet ?

Yep, HbA1c now 39 ! Throw your diabetes medication away, you don't need em anymore she said.

Considering that in one year I had gone from 78 to 39 (should be below 42) In my opinion is an amazing result, especially for me. Well known for not having a lot of willpower.

I had not taken any medication since after last Christmas, just been keeping a close eye on blood glucose levels. This idea was given to me by the practice nurse at my Gps surgery last autumn.

A year ago it was the prospect of Insulin injections that finally persuaded me to knuckle down & give medication another try.

Another welcome bonus is that I have lost just under two stone in weight, which is always good, now need to keep the weight off ! Mrs Catfan keeping her sharp eyes on that.

So a great day, no more diabeted medication. All thanks to Darkazana's inspirational thread, a fantastic practice nurse & Mrs Catfan's unending patience & of course not forgetting the magical healing properties of Hobgoblin !

Praise the Lord !!

Took my body for an annual MOT type check at the Docs (with the practice nurse) last week & had bloods taken.

Just had a phone call from the doc's secretary , the doc wants to see you Catfan ?

Ah well, long wait until Monday next !

I recently had my annual MOT, and god willing no nasty surprises or call backs as yet fingers crossed. Had some nasty skin cancers on my hands frozen off and on a course of fluorocil cream for some others but that's getting old in the sun.

Did a quick 10 day trip down the coast to have my appointments and stayed with my eldest daughter, bad decision as her 3 kids had the dreaded lurgy and now I've gone down with the worst head and chest cold I've had for must be 3 years ! bugger.

Kept my good lady awake last few nights with my sniffling and coughing so I'm in the dog house currently, Oh well it's only "man flu" or so she says.

I don't go for MOTs. Some would say I'm crazy, but I've come this far. Something will get me one of these days.

Please don't mistake my intent here. I'm not criticizing those who have them, and where there is a known condition its a good idea to keep an eye on it.

If I come down with a terminal condition I wouldn't mind a bit of notice so I can transport myself back to Canada to get my affairs in order and be buried next to my late wife.

On that cheerful and happy note I will go and work in the heat. :-)

I'm on Medicare loppy, not totally free, but way cheaper than before I turned 65. So far all MOT's have been covered at no extra charge.
