Many thanks for the comments I've not had the best of days as I slept badly, I'm not thinking straight.. I'm very tired as I've spent quite a while going back and fro to the loo today? Why? I did get wet in the rain Tuesday morning and I really do believe that it effects you.. or it could be the little bit of spice, Dh put in the pasta for our evening meal, it hasn't been a bother before? Anyway I've been in the loo most of the day! ( But it is a lovely Comfortable height loo!)
It did mean me missing the Book Group, shame so I couldn't tell them face to face that I got to page 159 and then gave up. I jumped to the last chapter to confirm what I initially thought, boring, over wordy, repetitive and 1950s bias.. After all Josephine Tey died in 1952!
Grant, a Scotland Yard Police Officer is in hospital, recovering from an op. on a broken leg. He delves into various history books to investigate the mystery of the demise of the Princes in the Tower? Was it Richard 3rd? I suppose it is well written and some might find it a very interesting book, not me.
Thank you to those who suggested various medications. I have a multitude of meds, Estrogen cream and Pessaries, Neditol, which is a bladder relaxing drug and the wonderful paracetamol.. So I do have all the stuff to help.. the consultant offered me another drug, but it highers your blood pressure and altho I don't have high blood pressure, I was given it several years ago and the headache was unbearable. Suffered it for 4 weeks and then stopped them. There is no records of previous cystoscopies, scans, wee flows because I had them done in a foreign country... England! I have the same NHS number, but the Welsh health board is completely separate to the English board, so they have no records here.
We're trying to get Christmassy but I've been so tired its been a real effort. But all our cards are sent and this year I've sent two birthday cards separately instead of sending them together. My birthday is Christmas time too and I usually get both cards, birthday and Christmas in the same envelope, I don't mind but one friend always sent them separately which I really appreciated.
Each time I hear some one on TV say only.......... so many days till the 25th I think it can't be.. so we best put our best feet forward and get sorted! Are you?

I wonder if you can access your English records? Your consultant's medical secretary might he able to help. You are supposed to be able to see your records.
Sounds like thè United Kingdom isn't so united when it comes to the health care system, and there'd be a lot of movement between the constituent countries - which all have the same passport. Ahhh!
(Australia is one big happy country haha, WA tried to secede from the eastern states long ago and won a referendum on it, but they wouldn't let us go)
I can't imagine having a birthday at the end of the year and anyone who does has my deepest sympathy and should never have two cards in the same envelope, Ever!
Not sorted here, but I'm not worrying. It all gets done in the end and in three weeks we will be welcoming 2026!
Holiday time is sometimes no fun for having a birthday, especially when we are little. I was born on Thanksgiving day, but because it rotates, I do not have it on the holiday every year. Mostly all my mother did to celebrate was make the cake for Thanksgiving day and I just had that. But good cake it was! Hope you feel better soon.
I get an UTI every fall for some odd reason and I hate them. I've never heard of a vaccine for them and I'm wondering if we have them here in The States. I can understand you reason for not wanting the procedure until after the holidays. I'm kind of in the same boat. I get up 7 to 10 times a night to pee and have tried two different meds and just started the Estrogen two weeks ago. My doctor sent me to a sleep doctor and he's sending me to two other doctors, one is the same as what you'll be seeing. I'm not doing the sleep study until after the holidays, though.
Hang in there! I hope it helps to know others understand what you are going through.
This too shall pass. Chris, it will get better.
I too have a birthday this month - the week before Christmas!
Oh dear, all that time in the loo can't be good. I hope a solution is found soon.
I am close to ready. I had a few gifts to order, and I am hoping they get here in time. You never know! I have not baked a thing but that might happen this week. Cards are mailed except for the few that I end up sending later after I get one from someone I missed! Happens every year.
I'm almost sorted for Christmas ...
I hope you feel better soon and less tired too.
All the best Jan
My husband and I started shopping and Christmas prep today. The grandkids will do the tree next week.
My book club meeting for today was cancelled because of the snow.
Apart from baking three Christmas cakes I've not done anything Christmassy. Sorry, I have finished buying for the little ones but still have some cards to do and I'd love to get a tree up.
I hope your health improves soon so you can have an enjoyable Christmas. It's no fun being under the weather at Christmas.
It's discouraging to feel tired and to deal with health issues. I hope you will find some resolution in the new year. Little by little things are getting done here.
