And there's more...

It seems that the nature of the problem with my car means that the garage I usually go to can't fix it, so they've referred me onto someone else - he's not completely sure he agrees with the doom and gloom prognosis of the RAC man, but I have to wait till next Wednesday to find out since he's really busy. *crosses fingers and toes*

In other news, my oedema clinic appointment has come through for mid-November (apparently it's only one morning a week, hence the wait, but I've been told it's about an hour with the consultant and specialist nurses) and my do-it-yourself diet plan seems to be working. I've lost about 10 pounds in the month or so since Doctor M. officially pronounced me to be a fat bastard. ;)

In less promising news, I had an appointment lined up to see another doctor about my hands while I was off work but ended up cancelling it because they seemed to be better, but I've had a rough couple of nights this week so perhaps that was a bit premature. Or maybe I just need better drugs. Whatever the case, I can hardly believe that this time last year I was psyching myself up for the craziness that is NaNoWriMo... even the thought of 50,000 words makes my hands throb. Not that I'd written much this year before the hand thing came on, which is frustrating. I'm just not that enthused with any of my ideas for existing fandoms and nothing new is grabbing my attention in the same way.
