Sharing a simple moment<\/a> today Thursday 15th November 2012.
\nMy Mac tells me it is 16.54
\nIt is dark outside my window: I haven\u2019t yet drawn the curtains. All the windows in the house are closed to keep the sharp November chill out.
\nI can hear the boys talking downstairs and Pepsi is breathing softly behind me. My Mac is whirring, the radiator in my room is gurgling, as is its will.
\nMy mind is occupied by the Endoscopy I am having tomorrow. I confess to being extremely anxious, not so much of the outcome as one way or other my problem will be fixed I am sure. It is the procedure that scares me. No matter how softly I tell myself, the information leaflet tells me, Paul tells me, my colleagues tell me “it will be OK” my mind won\u2019t let go of the fear.
\nI am physically hurting as well today. Last night I had a really bad attack during the night: I was so very close to calling the paramedics but with the help of some music, some medication, a pile of pillows, the silky soft fur of my Pepsi lying close by and Paul stroking my back I was able to stay home.
\nToday of course I was unable to work. I stayed in bed until all the pain had passed, around lunchtime.
\nI spent a few hours this afternoon resting quietly trying to think lovely thoughts but the only thing that distracts me today is some craft. I am thankful for an absorbing hobby and for Alexa<\/a> for having this lovely idea.
\nWriting down my thoughts, and fears is so cathartic.
\n17.04.<\/p>\n
