Hi all,
Firstly, I owe you all and apology for not visiting or even answering comments last week.. I hope to rectify the comments later today (if I can) and will be visiting blogs when I can. I am mostly writing this because I didn't want to miss out on WOYWW400!
The weekend in Aberdeen was so very fast and fun... and just the distraction I needed.
There is no photo of my desk today as nothing new is there from last week. I finished the photo album and all of the cards I was working on have arrived so I will show them instead.

| Final paw print card |
 |
| Card for music loving Will who turned 21 |
 |
| Card for mental health nursing student Fran for her 23rd birthday |
 |
| Card for a new friend Chris who asked for Navy, White and Grey. |
That's my post for today... feel free to read below if you want to know why I've nothing started this week...
Have a good week... and happy 400th WOYWW!

The truth is, I spent most of yesterday at Southampton University Hospital in Nuclear Medicine having a Sestamibi Spect CT scan to assess my parathyroid glands which have gone rogue and are causing all sorts of problems for me... including pain, fatigue and worse of all, confusion. Each of these have been growing progressively worse since I was diagnosed in November.
Parathyroid glands control the body's calcium and phosphorous levels, and I have been undergoing loads of tests and scans to understand how this is affecting me and the test yesterday should hopefully help localise where the glands are and which of the 4 are over producing PHT with the likelihood being a need for those to be surgically removed. I see my endocrinologist at the end of February for all of the results.
Hopefully I will understand more soon and can start looking forward to getting better.
Thanks for reading x
Erika
