What a week....

Hey!

Had quite a busy week this week. I worked on Sunday, then I had to go to the hopital for my pre-op on monday (which i'll come back to in a min), Tuesday & Wednesday I was working!
One of the residents has been in and out of hospital lately! She fell on Wednesday just ouside the front door (when out for a cigarette!) and she ended up hitting her head on the concrete and there was quite a lot of blood. So I helped stay with her and put a blanket all around her until the Ambulance came!
Thursday I had the day off! - slept most of it and i'm learning a new song on the piano - make you feel my love by Adele! So I did that most afternoon really.

I really need to start my christmas shopping but can't be bothered! I WILL start this week! I've got to! it's something like 2 weeks until christmas now?? that's mad!

Anyway, I'll come back to the pre-op thing - I'm having to go in for an operation Thursday 17th december! I'm not looking forward to it to be honest - never been in hospital for anything before!
I found out in 2008 that I have a tumour in the muscle of my right wrist! I was shocked to be honest - i've always had problems with it - pain & swelling but I just thought maybe I have RSI! or something! but after having lots of blood tests and x-rays,(which showed nothing!) I then went for an ultrasound scan and its showed some sort of lump so I was then sent for a MRI scan - And was refered to a special hospital that specializes in tumours! Was quite shocked really.
Anyway, last Jan(09) I had a biopsy - a needle was put through the side to take a sample but it came back inconclusive!!
They think I may have something called an A-V malformation - an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins( no capillaries in between so causes high pressured blood from the arteries to flow straight into the vein which then causes the swelling(tumour)
So I'm having an open-biopsy this time - to confirm that it is an A-V malformation! argh.
Anyway I hope i'm not off work for too long!!! but on the plus side least its over christmas and i'll have lots of films to watch hehe!

I will keep you updated - then again I have no followers at the moment :( So I don't think anyone read this!

Over

and

Out!
