Small World (by sarah)
I went in for my blood tests today and was a bit confused that I didn't have to drink the horrible sugary drink like during the pregnancy for the diabetes test but otherwise it was pretty much just more blood being taken into those test tube like vials.
I have to say I've noticed that some nurses (like today) managed to take blood with there really being no pain what so ever where as others hurt and leave damn great big bruises (the ones from the hospital still haven't faded :/).
Anyway the nurse first off all took a double take at my surname and then discuessed its origin with me - then she took a double take at the address - it turns out she is the nurse who used to come and look after Alarics grandmother - used to bath her and stuff!
She asked me about the Mill and Barbara and said she hadn't seen my father-in-law in a long time and she got very nostalgic.
Then I bumped into Barbara signing in for her Cholesterol check - she was going in to see the same nurse 🙂 and was looking forward to it as she is the only one left who did stuff for 'Mummy'.
Knowing I have stomache ulcers - explains the random pain I get in my side - but god does it not like it when I haven't eaten which is odd :/ It was being a right little so-n-so as we went off to the pharmacy to pick up the rest of the prescriptions.
Again we went into the Christain Aid thing and had coffee and biscuits and Jeany managed to meet another Jean who was excited as you don't meet little girls called Jean anymore! And then the guy taking the money bought Jeany a cake - again she manages to get people to give her food :/ I think it must be a human instinct thing to give small children food!
I also bought Jean a little white heart tin made of metal with a pale blue flower on it - it was 25p and she can keep the beads from her broken braclets in it 🙂 She likes it anyway.
