Hi Kathryn How exciting for you, hope you manage to sleep next week, what day will you go for that? I'm just having the injections, and i'm going to start on a low dose, so I dont have too many complications as ive had a kidney transplant, so they want to keep an eye on me, when the time comes they will only be putting 1 back. You are right i cant wait to get going, im just so scared of any side affects of treatment. Im going to the hospital on monday for my blood test and counselling, hope they will be able to say when I can start as my periods are not normall. LHOTP web site tell me more!!! I work in a call centre, its not a huge one there's only 8 people who work in the day and 2 of us in the evenings we are here till midnight. Its great i love my time at home in the day and happy to come to work at night. What do you and your husband do, how long have you been self employed, my husband has just started working for himself, he's just got his VAT NO and all the other jargon that's req. He is fitting windows and has gone in with a partner, I just hope it all works out.... I know what you mean ref ma, she does drive me mad a lot of the time, but I know I will miss her and if I get desperate I know she would straighten me out....But on the other hand I dont not want them to go away, but its not as if there not going far, only New Zealand for 6 weeks, can see me having big phone bills!!! Can you translate all the slang words ref treatment, for example DH, AF etc....thanks Take care, spk to you soon Love Nicky xxx PS As for the essay, anytime hope that goes both ways xx

Hi ya Sorry I didnt get your thread. I think I might be out of a job if I start making calls to NZ, worth a go......stop putting idea's in my head. Yes your right I have been to lots of fab places around the world as far down as sydney, only for a night but thats how long they get at these places, then they make there way back through bangkok, which is deffinately an eye opener. Also lucky to sit in 1st class.....now that spoils you!!! He's had a great career out of it, quite a long one 38yrs 40,000 up. Anyway he's been retired 15mths now and loves being at home and we love having him home too. But my brother is cabin crew too, so I still get loads of perks. I had my transplant at 16, so ive had it 21yrs next april, I can remember it clearly, getting the phonecall to say it had come in I was only on the list 4mths, did not expect it to come so quick because I knew kids my age born with the illness and where my age then and still waiting. Anyway I had a few complications at 1st but then and ever since its (touchwood) great and ive managed to have a normall life, what ever that is. But even though ive been very poorley, ive also been very lucky. I was 10 when I got tonsilitas and it developed from there, unlucky but the next 4yrs I had no probs, then when I was 14 they failed as the drs said they would, a week before we were due to go to america on holiday. I then went on dialysis for 18mths until I got that call. So yes Ive had my share of hospitals, doctors and needles, I treat it all as second nature, but still get on with life, most important..... Theres one thing this has taught me before I got ill in portuagl, having a baby is still important, but not as much as my health, my husband does worry that if anything goes wrong with me (and it can)that if I do have a baby, he will resent it, ive told him I will bounce him into next week if he does that, its just that I have learnt to put things into perspective....... Thank you for the translations, most helpful. This is my last night on my shift, will be back on friday night so will catch up with you then, hopefully I will have made a decession with telling ma & pa. That's what we are both here for and I will e-mail you, take care and I know our dreams will come true. Love Nicky xx
