Hello!!! Tuesday I woke up with the usual back pains, but once I got up again it seemed to settle. Throat started getting a little sore, this is normally a sign that there's another lump so had a wee feel around and there was just beside my Adam's apple hidden in behind it a little. Today my tripod for my camera arrived, just a small one but it's good for hooking onto things, so I have a few "projects" in mind that I will work on and started one today. One of the BIG things today was that I had a shave, wasn't the longest beard that I've had but was still a decent amount and its now all gone. In the evening I was missing heading out for a few drinks and thought about the times sitting in annies having a few pints for no other reason than to do that.
One of the things that got me thinking about this was that I was supposed to be heading out to a friend's birthday on Saturday but due to the antibiotics I wasn't able to, plus I felt pretty shit at the time and feel I have a pretty good excuse not to go, sounded like a good night though.
Wednesday morning I woke up laughing and I remembered what I was dreaming about. It was X-Factor and Ed Sheeran was playing on the stage sitting on a stool, he had a dog with him but it was over at the front, side of the stage sitting on some speakers and it jumped down and started trotting across the front of the stage. It was a real wee scruffy jack russell and had a bit of a limp on its front right paw. So he's walking along and the camera does a nice wee close up of the dog and then changes to one behind the judges and the wee dog gets too close to the edge of the stage and steps onto thin air and crashes to the floor, the gasps and "aww"s from the crowd. That's when I woke up.
Back to reality though, surprisingly my back was sore again and it is definitely getting worse, I'm also starting to think that it's not a swollen gland that's causing it and more than likely the osteoporosis, it's definitely one of the ribs. Bloody agony though. Today I found another lump in my throat bigger than the one the previous days and a bit lower to where my collar bone is, this is number 6 in 5 days...
I got a visit from one of my friends and he just happened to bring a paper that had a picture of himself in, basically middle page and about 1/3 was the picture and also a bit about him joining a new hockey club. Mum didn't recognise him in the picture and said "you've lost a fair lot of weight" when he pointed himself out, I'm sure that made his day. Was good to see him again. Just before he came I started making a stop motion things with coins so once he left I had a bite to eat and started back on that again, I was quite impressed with it if I say so myself, hope you enjoy it. In the evening the family all came over and after watched "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" good show only seen it when I was drunk before and to be honest I only remembered the very, very start.
Thursday morning once again my back was sore but not quite as bad as it had been the previous days. Though of a couple new projects, one was a stop motion video for my friend's birthday that I missed on Saturday, it was basically singing "Happy Birthday" to him. The other is a time-lapse of the clouds passing overhead.
Today I was feeling pretty good in the morning but I did gradually start getting worse and worse until I had to go to bed for a while, legs where freezing and was so tired. Think I went over for about 25 minutes but I was still really tired after and the rest of the night and went to bed early as I'm up early in the morning to go to hospital and hopefully get my CT results and maybe find out what is actually happening. Quite sure I've said before but I really do want them to increase it to a stronger one to give it a good kick up the ass cause at the moment it really doesn't feel like it is doing what it should. At least today I didn't find any new lumps.
