| oh look, i'm growing up... |
Well last night, I had a couple of friends over for the evening, and as part of that I made dinner... and i mean i MADE dinner... 3 courses...
Starter:
Home made Carrot and cream cheese soup with bread...
Main Course:
Home made Lasange and salad
Dessert:
Home Made Grape Brulee
Are you impressed???? *grins* It was all good too!! No distasters... so am happy! Was quite tasty, even if i do say so myself *grins* i would have taken pictures, but my phone camera was out of commission coz the battery died... But yes, it did happen!!!! Ask Gordon or Emily if you don't believe me *wink*.
I've just had another bit of Lasange for my brunch... very nice... lovin' it!
Anyway... am sitting watching 'Time Team' at the moment... love that programme.. it's dead interesting... Wish i could speak educatedly about such things... but i can't... i'm sure my friend Amy would do a good job given half the chance... she was quite amusing at WIG on Thursday night... I can't remember what the thing was, but she got very excited about the prospect of something particular and it's historical relevance... was amusing... we think should have her own little section with her historical musings on the forum *grins* Ah yes, and that's another thing, I got to go to WIG again on Thursday night... not been since October, but it was really nice to be there again. *grins*
My jaw is still sore by the way... although it's becoming more livable, but for the first time in a while i'm actually thankful that i have the dentist tomorrow... *heh*
Ooooooh we had a meeting today about our new group for the P7-s2's - it's very exciting! We haven't got a name for it yet... but we've got a date and everyone's signed up to do stuff and we're a bit clearer on what's happening, so it's all good!
 Anyway... Am gonna go and do some music prep I thinks... Got to head out in just over an hours time coz i have to walk to the other side of Bishopbriggs... (Unless i'm really lazy and take the bus... which would make it a 5 mins trip instead of 40 mins walk) we have Elevate tonight... i'm sure it'll be a good laugh *grins* <---- see the graphic Phil made??? *grins*Labels: Elevate, friends, Home Cooking, Time Team, wisdom tooth |

| Tuesday's visit to the Hospital... |
Well as i mentioned in my last post I was at the hospital on Tuesday morning... Basically the doc looked at my results and said that from what he could see it looked like i had indeed had optic neuritis behind my right eye... which accounts for the disturbed vision etc when this whole thing started off... got to go back again in 6 months... so we'll see...
Other than that it's been an extremely busy week... am knackered. Have had a meeting every day this week so far. Not tomorrow though... will do some prep, but nothing else... just me time. Just me sleeping and chilling out. Then Saturday will have more chilling and then cooking a meal for a couple of friends coming over at night... should be fun =)
Am going to WIG tonight... that the impact bible study group - that should be good. Am quite looking forward to that... am going coz i'm taking a 'newbie' from my church along... she's coming on mission with us for the first time this year... so it's all really exciting.
BTW... i will at some point post more about Glenshee with some pics... when i have the energy to do so that is...
current complaint is that my wisdom tooth is being really sucky :( really sore :(Labels: friends, Gartnavel Hospital, Glenshee, Home Cooking, Impact, WIG, wisdom tooth |

| the latest on the health fun and games... |
well... yesterday morning i had a lovely (not) visit to Gartnavel Hospital... I was visiting the Electrophysiology department in the opthamology institute (my doesn't it sound technical)... had a couple of tests... first one was basically measure the speed of the electrical impulse in my brain from the front to the back of my head... although more specifically it was measuring how long it took for it to get from my eye, along my optic nerve and to the back of the head where your sight stuffs are translated by the brain... The test basically involved 5 electrodes being attacked to my head, 2 at the front, and 3 at the back (ick to minging gel stuff) and then me sitting 1 metre away from a computer screen, focusing on the red cross in the middle of the screen which was at the centre of a screen full of black and white squares which alternated giving a major flashing effect... left eye done first, then right... was quite disorienting actually... didn't hurt, but not particularly pleasant either...
then the second test involved 3 electrodes (but different ones) on my forehead, and then 2 special electrodes which, believe it or not actually had very fine thread type stuff which was put under my lower eyelids, yes i did just say UNDER... *heh* not overly comfortable i have to say but fine i guess... I had already had drops put in my eyes to dilate my pupils *woop* i love looking at my eyes in the mirror when my pupils are huge, it's dead funny! Anyway, this time it was same kind of thing as before, only i was 12 inches away from a big screen which was being projected onto, and it was a green cross with flashing hexagons... that one was quite draining actually coz it was 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for 8 mins *ick* was ok though i guess... Basically it was mapping the back of my retinas *heh* the lady was quite funny... "oooh i'm getting beautiful results here Linda, just beautiful" - LOL....
My friend Mags had taken me and she had come through with me, so i'm sure it was an education for her *hehe*... The lady person said that apparently the tests were normal... so if i have had an inflammed optic nerve, it isn't anymore and has left no damage, which is good. However, seeing that it's been the main thought of the docs to date that this it what has been causing my headaches and eye pain i'm not overjoyed by the clear results... Means i'm back to square one... well not really, i guess i have a head scan coming up... although it does kinda make me a bit more apprehensive about that now...
Anyway - i'm not sure if yesterday morning and excessive flashing screens are to blame, but my head has been soooo much worse... ended up in bed yesterday afternoon... iain has now convinced me that perhaps we have reached a point where the kirk session etc should be told that i'm struggling with health so that the pressure is off me a bit... As i explained to him the other day, i have not allowed my health issues to affect my work over the last 8 months... but as i'm being weened off my pills i can see this becoming more of an issue which is rather annoying... grrrrrrr. oh well.Labels: brain scan, doctors, electrical impulses, electrodes, Electrophysiology Department, friends, Gartnavel Hospital, ill, opthamology institute, optic nerve, optic neuritis |

| good good... |
today has been a good day...
unusually good in some senses... but yeh.
met up with a friend from church for a coffee... then went food shopping. Then went to the funeral of Jimmy Reid... I had never actually met him, but he had been the church officer a Kenmure before i'd come here and so i'd heard plenty about him... I hadn't actually planned to go, but i did in the end, and was kinda glad that i had... he was a good man. =)
other than that the friend mentioned above ended up actually coming up to mine for lunch in the end and spending most of the afternoon here. Was good... Then dad came and i cooked dinner *yum* And then i headed off to youth band tonight which was good... was a good laugh... best its been in a while =)
I have various doc appointments tomorrow though *ick* which i'm not really looking forward to *blah* but oh well, has to be done...
but anyway - thought i was due you all an update...Labels: doctors, friends, funeral |
