Well today was the day to see the doctor, and boy was I nervous.  Waiting in that room to see him was worse than plucking up the courage to tell my own wife, how sad is that?

Anyway, the results of the consultation was a minor change in medications, the script is for Androcur-100 which replaces the Spirotone 100.  The doctor said that this medication is slightly safer than the Spriotone, but more importantly it has a longer half life, which means less of a dosage, and no necessity to take multiple times a day.  It also means if I forget a dosage I won’t be going off my rocker within a few hours.

The surprising part of the whole thing though was he didn’t require counseling, which was probably my biggest worry.  I don’t like seeing psychiatrists, and really did not want to be forced into seeing one.  I was expecting a requirement for treatment to have to have counseling, and to be honest I know I’m going to have to have some in the long run, but I really didn’t want to have it forced down my throat.

So really, it’s “YAY!” I’m official now, sorta scary though, means anyone can find out, rather than me telling them (not that I am concerned with people knowing, just I like to have the choice of whether others know).

Of course I have to update the medications page now.. 😉

Well today I went back to work after only one day off, it doesn’t feel like there has been a weekend at all. Ah well, it’s my job after all. On the real subject though, I pointed our receptionist Shawn at this site, which turned out to be a real eye opener for her. The good part is she took it all in her stride which I’m very happy about as we often joke and laugh together both being foreigners and all that.

Hilarity ensued and I couldn’t wait to let her in on the info her when over lunch we spoke of muffin top’s. I had said about my weight loss, and a good friend (who is not in the know yet) said I should watch it, or I could have a muffin top.

This I found extremely funny as I thought to myself, “if only you knew the truth”.

When I spoke to Shawn later and she started thinking about the same comment we both burst into laughter again.

On a more serious note, I made the appointment with the doctor. I’m really not looking forward to it as they do like to lay it on thick about self prescribing anything, and I have heard of cases where the doctor refuses to deal with it. I hope that is not the case here, and I do hope that he moves fairly quickly to help me “get it right”.

Well it’s the weekend and it doesn’t really feel like it.  Too many late evenings this week, and today I started work at 07:30 and finished 20:30, it has been a long day.

Nothing that I can talk about happened today because there has been no time, just took my medications, and went to work. What a uninspiring life I lead some times.

Well it’s the end of a long week, at least it should be, I have to work tomorrow.  Had a nice meal tonight at ‘Bella Vista‘.  Ally and I sat and had a quiet chat, enjoyed some food and wine, and generally relaxed.

Well it’s that time of the month, mailman day and my Inbox is full as usual. What’s new today? Well not a lot really, I started work early (07:30) and didn’t finish until 20:40ish, I am very tired.

Ally has painted my nails tonight, and I’m happy, she was happy to talk a little and we are going to bed reasonably early as I need to be at work tomorrow at 07:30.

Was that time of the month again for the injection, tip for you all out there, point your toes inward and relax, if you balance on one leg and rush, it HURTS!
