Haha! The warning was for anyone else, not youI love medical stuff! Always have done. I love being in consultations with our vets and seeing the diagnostic process. And I LOVE being in theatre too
I guess it's good they're being thorough and stuff and are looking and ruling things out. But it's pretty much right in your face that it's a thyroid problem isn't it?! :sigh:
Ah well, will jump through some more hoops and see.
****** knows what I'm going to do with work. Coz obv they wont give me treatment till all these tests are at least done. Going to hopefully see my boss tomorrow and see what we can come up with.
If there's any way I could do light-ish duties for a while just so I could be back in work! There are some things I can think of that wouldn't put me or anyone/anything in danger. But depends if they'll let me. God damnit I WANT to work!! Lol. I'm not after going on the sick or disability or anything, I want to keep my job! Grrr....
Anyway, I might head to bed and read for a bit and try and chill out.
Just texting the boy to sort out our date. Eeek!xx
Haha bless ya!! .... I just hope they do something for you at the end of it all ...... Not fair otherwise !!!
I'd be the exact same - I'd wanna work .. Could light duties be to stroke the animals all day? I wish that was a job
Anyway Enjoy your eve, well whatever is left of it xx

Blumming eck you've had a day and a half I'm gald the Dr has listened to you and has things in motion. I love watching medical procedures on tv, strange I know but like seeing how things go tickity-boo.
At least you can stop worrying about putting on loads of weight, once you get yourself back on your feet you'll soon lose it
And oooooo a 2nd date, are you excited? x x

I hope something happens at the end of this, because I can't go on like this forever. I can't function properly
I'm desperately trying to think of things that could be classed as light duties - there aren't many! I could maybe be put in prep and given something to sit on so I can clean and make up the kits. But when you're in there you're supposed to assist the vets and nurses with all sorts.
I could sit in dispensary, but I don't think I'd trust my mental capacity at the moment and it's too dangerous a place to make mistakes. What if I gave an animal the wrong medication?!
I dunno it's really difficult
I have text my boss and I'm going in this afternoon. The only reply I got from her was "fine" I know she's stressed with everything going on, but so am I! Will just have to make it clear how much I've argued about being off and tried to get back to work. And all I'm putting myself through is surely evidence of how much I want to be well again! I'm just so worried. I can't lose this job
Hopefully once they figure out what treatment I need I may start losing weigh again. But I've been losing and gaining the same half a stone for about a year now, so I don't hold out much hope tbh. The weight thing might just be me? Who know's. But we'll see Would be nice to get to target, it really would!
Yup date tomorrow! And we both had very similar ideas lol! He said how about walking one of my dogs somewhere nice and getting a picnic. But I checked the weather and it's going to be raining on and off all day. So I said the idea I'd had was going to the nice cake place at Otterspool for cake & coffee and (slowly!!) walking along the river to the Festival Gardens
He's going to pick me and Dave up (I'll have to ease him in to meeting the hell hound) and coz I have a rare empty house tomorrow he's going to come back and watch a film. I asked, a bit forward, but f*ck it
Anyway, lunch time and I super want scrambled eggs Today WILL be on plan! xx

Oh, just got my neck ultrasound appointment - next Tuesday but not till 5:20 I was going to go for bloods Tuesday morning, will have to have a rethink. Just want them done asap so they're out the way and so the results can go through quickly. Would be so much easier if I could go somewhere local!x

Your employer shouldn't be treating you like this - it's unfair .. & if she was to let you go, it would be classed as unfair dismissal .. Looked on the GOV.UK website 
you shouldn't be having to think of jobs you can do - that's her problem & she should be facilitating you with that ! Oooof, it annoys me how when people are ill they are forced back intro work through guilt & end up worse off for going back! You go back when your ready hun !
Hope you enjoy your date something to make you smile weather here is **** at the min .. Hope it stays ok for you
Glad you got your scan appt finally xxx

Hang on, hang on! The worries about my job are my personal worries! If I'm not fit to do my role or at least most of it, then I can't do that job. It wouldn't be safe. But no one has said anything to me or guilt tripped me or threatened me with sacking. It's all come from me and worrying about stuff.
Right, I saw my boss today and we had a really good catch up and a laugh and we must have been in there about an hour!
She assured me that they cannot sack me as I would then go to tribunal and make a lot of money. She did say that HR will probably have to get involved and send me to occupational health at some point to asses how I am and how suitable I am for my job.
You have to remember that my job has a LOT of responsibilities and is quite literally life, death, and danger. I know that sounds dramatic. But I am often in complete control of animals under anaesthetic, I can give drugs, I can put together prescriptions and hand out drugs with advice, I quite frequently restrain very aggressive animals, etc...
If I can't even stand up for long or focus on things, then I can't do that. I would put myself, others, and animals in danger. This is why I've been worrying about my job, not technically because I am off sick.
And I know this is a worst case scenario as we all hope that once mystery illness *cough* hypothyroid *cough* has been diagnosed and I've started treatment I will be back to relative normality. Or EVEN feeling better!! So I should be back to being awesome VCA
She said she/they will support me when I get back with various things, she will arrange an extension on my course, she wants to do a phased return and then maybe spread my hours out. It's a bit easier me being part time coz we have a bit more space to mess around with my work pattern.
The worrying thing is that probably soon my pay will drop by 1/3. She thinks we get 8 weeks sick (but I'd already had one this year) but not sure how it works for part timers. But even if it gets to that point, hopefully I'll be well on the way to diagnosis by then. Bit worried about the money, but I'll survive. might have to live on beans and jacket spuds, but I can do that
Even though she's off next week she wants updates on anything and everything and for me to keep in touch
I do feel a bit better about it all. But I just want to go back!!! I love my job, I love my work gang, and I'm fed up being ill!!!
Anyway, yeah, that's the update for today. I'd worried myself sick over nothing. But it wont stop me feeling guilty because it's just the way I am.

Ahhhh i seeeee, i was thinking your boss was being mean to you .. I get ya now .. I only mentioned that kinda stuff coz my job is the same as yours, except I'm in charge of human lives ... And I know how these places work in terms of sickness .... ours pays out for 6 months full pay then half after ... I'm glad you had a chat, has it eased your mind Hun? I'd feel the same as u with not wanting to leave my job ... But even if I couldn't do my job, it's my employers responsibility to ensure I'm placed somewhere I can do the job xx

I feel a little better about it. But can't stop feeling guilty and worried. Think I'm a natural born worrier! I just hate letting people down or asking for help or getting attention
I'm hoping I won't go too far in to the drop in pay. I really hope not! Got a car, insurance, and the dogs meds to pay for! But I can knock down my food bills and coffee shop visits and stuff. But hopefully we'll be solving this sooner rather than later.
I'm not sure the rules on my job and "finding you a suitable role". It's so specialised the job I do, well everyone's job really, so I'm not sure what we could do. But hopefully it wont get anywhere near that far!
Just want a diagnosis, some treatment, and get back on my feet!!
Thank you for the info and stuff and caring. I'm really grateful! Just wanted to make sure you knew it was coming from me, not work xx

So I think that went well!
He picked me up just before 2 and we got Dave safely buckled in. We got round the corner and he said he'd come to early so he'd sat parked in the next road. Awww Good job really coz I'd been in the garage with the bunnies But awww anyway!
We got to Otterspool prom and it was raining a bit so we decided to walk first and do coffee and cake later. We'd walked for about 10mins and the rain and wind just went insane!!! John didn't have a hood on his coat and was wearing Converse! I had my Arctic coat on and my work water-proof boots. Within minutes the boots had puddles in! These boots have never leaked and I put them through a lot! But we carried on to the gardens which were relatively sheltered. Dave kept glaring back at us like "You're joking, right?!"
Walking back wasn't as bad and it did even out our jeans making them equally wet on both sides
We did stop for a very quick coffee and cake (I had Tiffin) but Dave was shivering so much so we rushed back to the car and came back here.
He wouldn't let me give him any dry clothes, but I got completely changed lol! And dried Dave off.
Ellie surprised me and settled with him very quickly - she's much worse with men than with women. She still barks at my fake brother Tim and she's known him her entire life! She's 11 But he shows he's scared and takes full advantage. Can imagine her doing a Basil Faulty hand clap and going "Right!"
Rachelle's John got home just after us - which was a bit awkward coz he wasn't expected and I thought we'd have the house to ourselves. Then Rachelle came home!!! Lol!
They buggered off pretty sharpish though and left us to watch Avengers Assemble - which he'd never seen!! It was a bit awkward, but I tried to relax and I edged slowly closer to him. But I think we were both so nervous! At least I know we're probably on the same page with us both having a history of depression and anxiety!
Rachelle text and asked if they came back and ordered in did he want to stay. But he said he'd pass for now. He said he'd been by himself for 10yrs, but is getting better at meeting people. Will have to ease him in! But my Mum, Sister (her John), and my few friends are a BIG part of my life!! We'll get there
When he was leaving I did say not to worry and that I'm awful at meeting people, I either sit there saying nothing or jabber on about bugger all
I tend to step up if I know someone is struggling or more nervous than me though. Just depends on the situation I guess, doesn't it?!
Anyway, he hasn't long left and I got a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Gentleman Hehe.
I hope it went well anyway. I do like him. And I know I do because my face was burning and I was a b*stard of a tension headache from being nervous LOL! Gotta love a depression brain's version of fun
But yeah, we'll see....
Today I have eaten wholemeal toast, 2 boiled eggs, 2 free Quorn sausages, and tomato sauce for lunch.
And the slice of Tiffin at the cafe - smaller than Costa's
And then just coffee and Coke Zero.
I know I'm hungry but need to get over the nerves first xx

Aww, so glad you had a good day! To be honest, he sounds like exactly what you need right now; someone who can be understanding and not pressure you, so things can move along at the pace you both want them to. Really hope that things continue to go well. Did he enjoy Avengers Assemble? Because that's a potential dealbreaker right there! Hahaha xx

Nothing arranged just yet. Was waiting nervously for the text!!! He has replied though and again apologised for being awkward and appearing distant, told him not to worry about it. I said that it's not that I didn't notice, but that it doesn't bother me. I mean that I understand and know where he's coming from - I have my own bag o' crazy that people need to get used to or try to understand and it's made me much more accepting and understanding of other people. Besides, being awkward, occasionally going quiet, and physically shaking with nervousness I can deal with It's not like his hobby is putting babies in microwaves or anything
I think it will help that we have an understanding of mental illness. I mean, it sucks! Course it does. But most of my close friends have also suffered in one way or another and I tend to make friends with people online who do too. Think we all gravitate towards each other! Probably because we do sympathise and understand! We know everyone's different and deals with things differently, but we can understand and empathise!
Nothing else arranged yet, but he's might it really clear in his messages that he does like me. Made me instantly anxious LOL! But I think I was half expecting the "That was nice, but" message that I've had so many times And I know I wanted to hear that he likes me too.
Oh yeah Avengers would have been a total dealbreaker!! But he liked it. And guess what?! He's seen firefly AND Serenity SCORE!!! :8855:
Oh btw I've had one Coors Light, 2 big slices of pizza, and half a portion of chips. Would normally have eaten way more than that but these damn butterflies are pretty big

I'm a proper weirdo and hate eating in front of new people. I even still get weirded out in work, especially if someone comments on my food. It's like "Oh no! They've seen that I'm eating. Argh!!!" My sister's the same though. She even still no wont over indulge in front of her boyfriend - like he even cares! He lived on pie when they went to America LOL! But yeah, if I'm stressed or nervous or with someone new I really struggle to eat. Took me about 30mins to eat the tiffin at the cafe and I only ate it that quick coz I was cold and could see Dave was really shivering!
I remember when I first started dating my ex, I barely ate anything for weeks!! And we'd been friends for a while before. It's nuts isn't it?!
I very rarely comfort eat and I haven't really discovered what situations trigger it. In recent times I comfort ate at the beginning of the year. It was just after my birthday when things were really going wrong with the car, I was stressed with my course, and my Granddad died. And then this time round it's while I've been ill. Doesn't seem to fit a pattern tho, I just sometimes comfort eat
I don't know what's happened to him in the past. He's not mentioned an ex yet and in relation to the depression he's only mentioned his Mum's side of the family - who he doesn't speak to. I actually don't know much about him yet and I don't know how to broach it. I'm really open about my 'stuff' and sometimes I'll give info away freely and sometimes I have to be asked. Will have to be careful I think. Although he's been honest about the depression from the very start.
I might offer to go to Chester for our next date. But my issue is that he's said there's literally no parking by his. And I honestly don't know if I could cope with buses and trains. I feel horrific ALL the time now and often feel motion sick just sitting still. So I don't know if I could do 30mins-ish by bus and then 45mins by train :jelous: But I can't keep making him come to Liverpool all the time! He seems fine with it, but it is a bit unfair. I dunno, will see what he says
I'd better go to bed. Trying to be 'normal' and fight my symptoms, added with anxiety and nerves from the date, has left me with a sickening tension headache and a wibbly tummy.
I swear being single forever and turning in to a crazy dog lady would be much easier xx

And we'd been friends for a while before. It's nuts isn't it?!
I very rarely comfort eat and I haven't really discovered what situations trigger it. In recent times I comfort ate at the beginning of the year. It was just after my birthday when things were really going wrong with the car, I was stressed with my course, and my Granddad died. And then this time round it's while I've been ill. Doesn't seem to fit a pattern tho, I just sometimes comfort eat
I don't know what's happened to him in the past. He's not mentioned an ex yet and in relation to the depression he's only mentioned his Mum's side of the family - who he doesn't speak to. I actually don't know much about him yet and I don't know how to broach it. I'm really open about my 'stuff' and sometimes I'll give info away freely and sometimes I have to be asked. Will have to be careful I think. Although he's been honest about the depression from the very start.
I might offer to go to Chester for our next date. But my issue is that he's said there's literally no parking by his. And I honestly don't know if I could cope with buses and trains. I feel horrific ALL the time now and often feel motion sick just sitting still. So I don't know if I could do 30mins-ish by bus and then 45mins by train :jelous: But I can't keep making him come to Liverpool all the time! He seems fine with it, but it is a bit unfair. I dunno, will see what he says
I'd better go to bed. Trying to be 'normal' and fight my symptoms, added with anxiety and nerves from the date, has left me with a sickening tension headache and a wibbly tummy.
I swear being single forever and turning in to a crazy dog lady would be much easier

I'm a proper weirdo and hate eating in front of new people. I even still get weirded out in work, especially if someone comments on my food. It's like "Oh no! They've seen that I'm eating. Argh!!!"

I want to suggest the zoo - it's one of my favourite places on earth! But I don't think he has much money. And I don't want to suggest something too expensive. Think it's around £18 to get in now.
And I hate people paying for me too lol. He bought my cake and coffee yesterday and I felt so guilty!! Even more so because he drove over here and picked me up and stuff and I know petrol's expensive. Wish I didn't worry so much
Feeling really tired today. Woke up literally on the hour every hour last night I was reading till almost 2 because i wanted to finish the book I was reading (it's awesome!). Think I had a solid couple of hours sleep somewhere between 10am and 1pm
Also feeling very wibbly. But mystery illness wibbly rather than butterflies. Just ate what I felt like which was some honey Cheerios and 2 slices of wholemeal toast with a little bit of low fat spread and an extra light Laughing Cow between the two bits.
Should be meeting up with my friends later to see superman Their friend (and fellow bridesmaid lol) is visiting from London. I couldn't do all the touristy stuff they were doing to them, so think I'm just meeting them for cinema and maybe back to theirs for a bit.
Rachelle's left me the leftoever pizza, so might have that for tea with a Pasta N Sauce and some salad. Half good
Just going to attempt some more of the assignment I'm working on.xx
