I'm exhausted today -spent yesterday running around chasing xrays, BTs, medicals, certified copies of everything but the kitchen sink - I have said it before but NZIS are very anal - they want us to prove we are in a 'genuine' relationship for heaven's sake - like the fact we have been together over a 100 years, married and have lots of little male monsters isn't enough- feel very frustrated I'm sure it willl all work itself out but it is SO stressful and the timing is (now) all wrong for me to feel like a good fight!
I had my blood work done for my medical and I am so worried that my haemoglobin is going to be under the lower limit - I am usually about 152 and with the blood loss brought on by the m/c I dropped to 94 - they were borderline blood transfusion and nearly did my D&C in the night but opned the theatre at 6.00 am instead. My SpR was great and told me if they question my blood work, he will do a letter and explain the situation - but it still stresses me. Can anyone say how long it takes for haem. to come back up again (I am on iron, eating red meat and green veggies, blah, blah)
Also (sorry if this is TMI) - I am still bleeding 12 days after the D&C - no clots or real loss onto a pad, just a lot of red slime (told you it was TMI ) when I wipe - I have NEVER bled this long, even after childbirth and even though it is browning off now, I am worried about how long it has gone on - it is normal (even though it isn;t usual for me??
Sorry for that rant, now.......
Lynne - hope you are coping with what has been thrown at you the last few days, and that you will stand by your guns and have it out with the FS - you are NOT paying peanuts, so you shouldn't be getting a monkey!!!
Mel (the letterbox smuggler!): ooh that made me smile, like I have never done anything like that before ever !!
Flower: I expect you will be playing Roxy Music's 'Dance Away' this weekend!!!!!!!
Spring: hope the headache is better, take care of you and Springer/Springette xxx
Tommysmum: thank you for your kind welcome, hope the kitchen is going well and you are having a good weekend with your tactful DH!! (am slightly worried we are married to the same man!!!!)
