The Tuesday at home sick

Hi,

I got up super early Tuesday to get ready to ride in for boxing class at 6.15am.  But after having breakfast, I just didn't feel very well.  Went back to bed and tried to rest for the day.



Laundry!

Monday iced latte!
Monday was ok though.  Got an iced latte in - and when I got home I found out what the plumber was doing.  We have a laundry sink plumbed in!  Yay.

Tuesday saw me head to the doctor for a midday appointment after staying in bed all morning.  Caught the bus in, and got there 10 mins ahead of the appointment time.  First time seeing our new doctor.  Dr Jenks.  Well, he was running late, so I didn't see him until 12.40!

I have this mark on my nose that has not cleared up for about 6 months.  Time to see a doctor.  Except he was rather funny.  He went away to find a scope (which looked like a magnifying glass with a light - but hey - maybe it did other things too).  Said he couldn't really see much and needed a pointy thing.  Grabbed a pencil (huh?) and said he would be very careful.  Well - I thought that went without saying given how close to my eye this was.

Decided he still couldn't see much and he needed to draw on me.  With the pencil.  Which, didn't work.  And...  anyone could have told him that.  Who would ever try using a pencil to draw on skin?

He got a black Vivid marker pen and drew on my nose.  Then peered through the scope again.  And declared I needed to see a specialist.

Right.  Then he got an alcohol wipe to rub off the texta mark.  Said he was making it worse.  I had visions of heading home on the bus looking like I had just gone a few rounds in a boxing ring. 

But, it was fine.

And now I have an appointment for a specialist to take another look at it and decide the best course of action (or inaction).

Went back home and back to bed.

Mike got home late and cooked tea.  Mmmm.  Quinoa, rice, roast veges and hummus and haloumi.  It is so good.  Mike has steak on his.

Still not feeling great.  Maybe I am fighting off something.  Who knows?

Did get to Spin though this morning.  It's my favourite one in my week.  Felt ok there.  Forgot my gear for a run as my brain thinks it is only Tuesday.  Hahah.

Hope your week is way better than this one.

Love,
Angela
