I've finally got fed up and am resorting to trying antiinflammatories to kick the bursitis in my hip into touch once and for all. I only wish they did antinflammatories for one's mental spirits as well as the physical body, as I could certainly do with some after today...

It has been one of the days that has left me feeling more than rather a little irritated. First, my insulin pump broke - again. As it's not long (just a few months) since my last pump broke, I am decidedly not happy. On a positive note, they have promised a new pump will be couriered to me for tomorrow, but in the meantime I will have to get by on frequent bloodtests and injections, probably including getting up every few hours through the night!

My GP visit to get antiflammatories prescribed was also rather depressing, as the doctor talked about bursitis in terms of learning to get by with it and said getting rid of it needs to be viewed as a long-term thing! Still, at least he reckons I'm okay exercising and I do think it is getting better - just not as fast as I'd like!

Anyway, today's sun did manage to take most of the edge off my health aggravations and I am looking forward to the end of the week (hoppefully new insulin pump up and running!) as it is my son's class's turn to do school assembly. Parents are invited to watch and I can't wait! Gosh, the small things that delight, as well as the small things that annoy, once one becomes a parent! ;-)
