We were "Nookal" ed at work this week! Nookal is a vegetable used in Indian Cooking sometimes known as Kohlrabi- but it is also a new practice management system for physiotherapy practices. It has been introduced to our work this week and it has been a rather stressful week coping with all the changes that running a new system brings! I have been at work every day this week except Wednesday, and that includes a couple of hours on Monday a public holiday!
Next pleasant task of the week was to go and have a biopsy on a spot on my nose that we are expecting is a basal cell carcinoma- which if confirmed means I will have to visit a plastic surgeon to have it removed. The local anaesthetic they gave me was horrible and the whole experience was not pleasant- It took me a good 15 minutes and a couple of attempts to stand before I could walk out of the rooms with out passing out! So if it is confirmed and I have to go through something similar hopefully I will end up looking like the above picture!
Clancy has a tumor like this growing above his eye, it is probably twice the size but too gross to put a picture in the blog. We went to the vet last week to discuss options, had been previously, this lump is non cancerous but he has ones in his mouth which are. We have decided to go down the non operative route as they may well grow back and the ones in his mouth would be significant surgery with no guarantee of success and a long recovery process for a 12 year old dog, so we have got some stronger medication from the vets, who have been very helpful and we will see what happens.
To top off this week we got a phone call to say Bill's dad was in hospital with pulmonary oedema and they didn't think there was much they could do- Jim is 90 in September- by the end of the day though he had turned a corner and was doing much better-so we just have to wait and see! Hopefully next week will be a better one!
