Well, I know it has been a long while since I posted, but at times of need.................
Having a really rotten weekend. Why does everything happen in 3's?
Got a call from my mum yesterday evening to tell me that her SIL (my step-dad's SIL actually) had gone to visit her dad in the morning and found him dead at the top of his stairs. So awful for her, and she has never had to deal with anything like that before so my mum spent the day with her and helped her sort everything out, and will continue to do so with anything she needs. Mum was so upset, it brought back so many memories of my nan passing just 4 days after Daniel was born, Mum still has a lot of trouble dealing with nan passing so young, she was only 65.
Then we get to this morning - 8am text from Mum to see if I was up, unusual on a Sunday. One of her cousins (we have a very big family) had called Mum to let her know that one of her brother's had a heart attack yesterday and died as a result. So on top of the emotional day yesterday, Mum now has her own grief to deal with too. I didn't really know this cousin and only saw him a few times, so I'm pretty OK with this - although still sad for that part of my family.
Then we got home, and (we live in flats) DH checked the post box from yesterday's post. I had a letter from the hospital in there. I have had a series of headaches / dizzy spells / vertigo attacks etc for months, and have had an MRI - the results of the MRI are now back and they have found something. It was all scientific doctor speak in the letter, but (yes I know I shouldn't have) but I googled some of it - I know I should wait till I see the dr and have them explain it, but we've all done it!

DH, in his logical way has told me not to panic, and also told me not to google it - although this didn't stop him from googling it himself! Which OK, I shouldn't worry til I know more, but it would be nice if he could let this sort of stuff sink in before he tells me to calm down - it makes me feel as thought I'm not allowed to react to stuff


I'll just have to make an apt with my GP and see how to go from there - just wish I knew
