Complicated

So apparently I am complicated. My specialist told me this last time I saw him. I had to see my GP yesterday (I have a mild throat infection) and his words were "you are very complicated, I wouldn't want to keep you as a patient". Great. (He wasn't my normal GP, he was the standby one when I can't see my normal one).

I don't really feel that complicated. It's just when you start looking at my medical history that it looks that way. On the one hand I find this rather amusing as I am so used to dealing with all of these issues (the BP, tachycardia's, the IVF, haemachromatosis etc). I don't really think of them as being a problem. But it is also very annoying. I would like to have a boring straightforward pregnancy and not have to see specialists and get blood tests and so on. But I also don't feel well and feel like I'm struggling so maybe all these "complications" are the reason. And that makes me feel better that it isn't in my head.

Tomorrow I have a phone interview with the hospital midwives. It is a fairly standard interview with history and current status and so on. I remember doing it with Charlotte. It should be a fairly short interview (20 minutes or so) but I bet mine will go for longer as I have all these "complications" to discuss.

On the home front it looks like we won't be going on our babymoon any time soon. James isn't quite recovering as well as he would like from his operation. I thought that this would happen as he is getting older and these things hit us harder. And I know how it feels since I've had 6 operations in the last few years. But at least he felt up to giving me a sleep in this morning (we tend to tag team getting up to Charlotte but this past week I have been doing it all, which is just exhausting since she likes to get up around 5.30 am). Oh well, who needs sleep anyway?
