Tuesday 24th - Repair process started!

Well, as the Teenage One is down with some kind of Lurgy and had to go to the doctors today, I thought I'd gatecrash the surgery with her. Might as well do 2 appointments together after all!

Well, if you're reading this Big Boy, I did raise the issue of St Johns Wort with the doctor. Although no specific health issue was raised, we did establish that the chemical compound of SJW is similar to some anti depressants. There are 3 main types of these anti depressants which explains why the SJW works for some, is borderline for others, and doesn't seem to do anything for The Others.

Apparently, I'm one of The Others.

Whats happened here is that I'm going to give the SJW a miss now as I've been given some "proper" anti depressants called Citalopram.(part of the Prozac family). I'm starting off at 10mg, with a three week review. This, in time, will now blow the Life insurance quotes through the roof. I think I'll have to concentrate on clearing the mortgage quicker rather than paying the (higher) Life Insurance. Time will tell.Can't afford to do either at the moment.

And that pain, on my left hand side? We think that my cartiledge around the 12th rib is inflamed so I've got an Xray appointment at the QE sometime. I've eased the pain a little bit over the last couple of days by putting an extra cushion cushion on my chair so I look down on the computer now a bit more. Don't know why, but it seems to help.

And the Teenage One has been confirmed with some kind of throat infection, so she's on anti biotics now. I didn't tell the wife about why I wanted to go to the doctors, but she still knows now.

How?

I left the new tablets on the table, and she looked the name up on the internet. So I've confirmed everything with her, including the pain I'd previously said nothing about. I just can't tell her why I'm "depressed" because I don't know myself. shes already starting to make the connection between me and my mother. I know it's inherited, there's nothing I can do about it.

didn't say anything because of that old fashioned man thing, you know, not wanting to appear weak in front of The Family. Ah well, all The Family will know now!

Until tomorrow

Paul
