Thanks, Bath It actually used to be more noticeably crooked (you probably couldn't miss it!) when I was younger, but I had it operated on when I was 16. It mustn't have been done properly because it bent a bit again and some scar tissue developed on one side (looks like another bend), with the tip of my nose rounding out, as well. The original surgeon said he told us it might bend back again, when I went to him last year but that's bollocks - we definitely would have remembered him saying that and, in fact, it was the reason we waited till I was 16 cos he said that at 14 it might bend back. ANYWAY, new surgeon, different technique to be used, I'll be in for day surgery with the ENT, not for two nights. My only thing is that back then my family had a higher bracket of insurance so I got it done at Cabrini and this time it will be at Casey. At least it's much closer to home.
And I'd probably subscribe to your weight theory, too! Diverse diet combined with activity definitely describes my family and we don't put weight on easily (unless some noodle-head doctor forgets to mention that a common side effect of depo provera is weight gain...but I won't go there again!). I'm currently wearing a pair of jeans I wore for the past 18 months and they are now my 'comfy' jeans i.e. I wear them like trackies cos that's how loose they are on me.
I have a dinner on next week and I will leave Oscar with DP. If that goes well (and it should), I am going to have to come right out and request that he look after Oscar every few Wednesdays (either here or at the fire station) so that I can go back to training. It would never occur to him by himself, so I have to effect my own return plan! He'll probably act as if I'm cutting in on his turf. Which couldn't be further from the truth seeing as I was in the brigade a whole 2 years before he joined. Last night we watched a DVD and it finished before midnight. I fell asleep on the couch with Oscar in my arms (he was suckling in his sleep, very cute!) and DP went to bed. That's right, left me sleeping sitting upright on the couch, after sleeping on the ground for 4 nights, with the TV on. You know what he said when I came into the bedroom waking him up to ask him why he left me there? Get this..."I'm not your keeper". Enough think-typing. Oscar will be wanting a feed soon and while he's asleep I might ... feck it, I'm not doing any housework except to clear clothes off the bed so I can go to bed with my Home Beautiful magazine and Harry Potter book!
Oh, can't seem to upload my pictures on LilyPie I've reduced one pic to next to nothing and still no upload...will try again another time, it's driving me nuts for now. Mel, for a ticker with a pic try LilyPie (or not!), otherwise there's Baby-Gaga and Ticker Central.
Good night all...
