    It was my middle one's birthday today. Had a lovely family meal out to celebrate.
    Been a quiet weekend otherwise, but just what I needed.

    I'm doing ok. Trying to keep things on an even keel.
    Talking to A loads and just doing each day as it comes.

    I'm really proud of you for talking things over with A lots! Are you being totally upfront and honest with him about how you're feeling?

    Yes, I think the biggest change in me is that I talk a lot easier to him about things.

    Have an urgent appointment with my consultant next week.

    May be changing my role in work which I think I will enjoy but I've put it out there that I'm interested but with a few provisos!!
    My boss seems keen but we'll see what happens. I'm not stressing about it. I'm just focussed on looking after me and I think this role may actually help me do that easier and still be able to stay in work.

    What's the new role? Better hours?

    Have you asked for the urgent appointment? Are you struggling more than you're saying?

    You ok,hunni, truly?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    My GP requested the urgent appointment

    Basically I have had a flare of symptoms.
    Added to that my GP had to reduce the medication I take at night that helps with my overnight symptoms...nightmares etc.... because it was dropping my BP too much and I kept fainting. This has caused more disruption to my sleep with nightmares.
    My GP doesn't know what to do for the best so wants me to see my consultant so we can nip things in the bud before I completely spiral and end up ill.

    The different role in work is more of a coordinator role, managing a team of volunteers and the Good Morning Call scheme. I've been filling in doing it for a couple of weeks and its busy but not stressful itms.

    I'm so glad that you have a good GP who is supporting you in this.

    Would the change in role mean less hours?
