Is it ultrasound season or what?

Maybe all the sonographers have swine flu at the moment.

To go back a little bit, I had a lovely day with mum and the kids at the museum and the botanic gardens on Friday. Then I went to the doctor to get my blood test results. And the news was very good - I now have excellently iron-filled blood, and many many red blood cells. And other sorts of things that show I am not just covering up an underlying iron deficiency by swallowing swagloads of iron tablets. So that was good. But I also asked her about my ankle, which was not entirely happy about traipsing about (and dragging toddlers) all day. She sent me off with an ultrasound request. So I rang up this morning, expecting to get an appointment early next week, and it wasn't until I got off the phone that I realised the time I was given was not for this Tuesday, but next Tuesday! Too bad if my foot was about to fall off! But I guess it's been muddling along this long, so waiting another week to find out if I have any ligament damage probably won't hurt. So long as I don't step in any more holes....

Mum went home this morning. She normally leaves something behind, often her pajamas. Last time it was her toothbrush. Today she left her camera.

*sigh* nine-thirty and the little sods are not asleep yet. I love my kids :-)
