Welcome to my world

Sunday 10 February 2008 - Hospital beckons

It's only just over a week to go to the results and for once I'm not counting it down.

It's been lurching from one thing to another since December, exams, Christmas, tax returns, hospital, results and then studying again. This is my first weekend since I don't know when that we haven't had to do something.

So this week I have the exciting prospect of going into hospital for a biopsy on my voice box. It all sounds rather serious until you google microlaryngoscopy and realise that it is a very straightfoward procedure. I basically have what the doctors are fairly sure are cysts in my vocal cords which have to be removed. I will find out for sure what they are in a couple of weeks but I just try not to think about that!

So my Valentine's day consists of, hopefully waking up with my husband rather than a room full of sick people and spending the day with him but not being allowed to talk. As we are both off and the children are at school, I suggested lunch out - but we decided it might be a bit lonely if I can't talk to him. If I feel like it we're going to go to the cinema on Friday as you can't talk there anyway.

Maybe then I'll think about exam results being due
