Lifes little ups n downs

Well its has been a really tough couple of months for me and my family i found out my little girl who is 20months old has a non cancerous tumour (nf1) behind her eye which is causing her eye to be lazy and sort of pop out a bit that was back in november or december. Well on Thursday we had to be at hospital at 7am for her to have a port inserted under her skin for when she goes through her chemo instead of having a drip every 3 weeks. As if it wasnt hard enough as it is they kept us waiting till 2:40 in the afternoon before she even got in for her op then she still had to have chemo after that . so by this time they hadnt started the chemo till like 5pm.To make matters worse they say in such a casual way oh u need to have her hooked up to the machine for 3 hours (usually only 1 and a half hours) 2 hours of it was because they needed to rehydrate her. By the time they finished the chemo it was like 9pm and we were stuffed then they drop the next bomb shell u have to stay in over night , just great i though she wont sleep because its not her own bed and how was my partner going to get home he needed to work in the morning. Bloody doctors. I know they were just looking out for her but to keep a little girl without food from midnight the night before and drink from 11am its cruel if we had private health insurance we would of been in and out in a flash well at least in on time, but who has the money these days to be able to afford private insurance.
Anyways thats the little bit of my rant for today .............. on the weight watchers front i havent been so good this week time will tell ,its weigh in day tomorrow might have to get on the treadmill in the morning.
Should be a good week this week though as im going camping and cant wait especially know i know its going to be cooler then it was going to be.will take my predometer with me and go walking and maybe even swimming try get in some exercise .
Thats all i have for now

  1. Hello... love the background -cute!

    OMG Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope all goes well with the chemo etc. Did you go to Frankston hospital by chance? They are hopeless there - Monash, Clayton much better not sure I agree with private cover though as that would have cost you money in the long run.
    Your daughter is in my thoughts.

    Hopefully see you tonight.
