Mad Monday

When looking around other blogs, I’ve often seen that some follow similar formats ie Tackle it Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday etc. This is a really good way of keeping the blog updated and makes for interesting reading.

I would like to propose a ‘Mad Monday’.  This is where you reveal something from your life that has been, well quite frankly, mad! Let me give you an example. 

When I used to work in the city I had a bit of a miserable drive to and from work.  So to make it more interesting I used to give myself a running commentary about all the people around me, in an American accent!

Well, it kept me amused.  Hello . . . . . anyone still out there?

Speaking of Mad, I went for my annual tinnitus appointment today, which was the same as ever.  My hearing is actually good, it’s just certain tones I can’t hear, rather akin to not being able to hear a dog whistle. 

Okay, do dogs whistle?  You know what I mean - the very high tone that humans can’t hear.  So all in all I have good hearing.  I just have this constant hissing noise all the time but it doesn’t drown out other sounds.  (Sometimes I think that could actually be a godsend).

I went to the front desk at the hospital to check in and was asked my date of birth.  Would you believe I got the year wrong!   I am now officially one of those women who lies about her age.  I can’t believe I did it.  Okay it was only out by three years, but what was I thinking?

And I actually saw a doctor who didn’t want to feel my boobs today, so result.  I say that because on Friday two of my children had their 6 monthly check up and one of the new consultants was a chap I had seen a few years ago who thought I may have had leukaemia (at that time). 

He had asked me if I regularly self examined, to which I replied I did.  Okay he said, but when he went out of the room to confer with one of his senior colleagues, he came back in and (blushing) said that he had been advised to check too.

I swear, I don’t know who was more embarassed. 

I kept my fingers crossed that we didn’t get him on Friday and thankfully we got a new lady doctor instead.

And while I’m still talking about hospitals mom is doing really well. The physio said she is walking much better than a lot of people he had seen so soon after a hip replacement.  So well done mom!
