Camera up my nose & an Eco-Cabin

Posting as feel guilty about not doing so.

Saw a new and different consultant today, to be honest I didn't take to him that much.

He put a camera up my nose which shot down the back of my throat before I had time to say please be careful - he didn't take any time to explain what he was about to do and he passed wind at the same time.  Don't get me wrong I absolutely understand that farting is a natural process but please sir not right then when it made me want to laugh like a child whilst I had a wiggly camera up my nose.

I tried to explain about local anaesthesia to him as he said grommets for you then or would you prefer a hearing aid.  I tried really hard to say with my family history it will be grommets and a hearing aid.  I am nearly 46 and I have to have grommets.  I will say this in the bloggy world but not to too many people outside of it.  Children get grommets - not nearly menopausal women surely not.

He refused to take on board that there may be a problem with local anaesthetic on the grounds that it will be a cream on my ear drum.  Excuse me - could we have a conversation about this obviously not.  I needed reassurance on this front.  That it isn't the same local anaesthetic cream that I am allergic too that does not work anyway.  I have time anyway to research this so am not panicking too much.

I just get a bit pissed off when new Consultant's talk shite about EDS showing that they know absolutely nothing about it whatsoever.  Never mind I have time on my side.  Good, that will give me sufficient time to talk myself out of the whole thing then then spouse will talk me round.  I am however NOT having anyone pierce my eardrum with anything if there is any doubt whatsoever that the cream won't work.  Sorry but too many bad experiences with well meaning health professionals who have told me that it won't hurt when it does means I am stubborn on this factor.  So I will require gold plated evidence that all will be fine and then I will co-operate.

I am not pain adverse afterall I have spent all my life making an in depth study of it.   I am not a whinge bucket when it comes to it. In fact I am pretty stoic.  I just don't fancy my eardrum being pierced without it not hurting - having suffered multiple perforations and know how painful it is willingly have it happen followed by a thingy being inserted is not my idea of fun.

The weather is good.  So that's good.  I am warm not cold and that makes me happy.  Outside has been hot so I have been shade seeking and am becoming expert at this.  Years ago I adored the sun, nowadays we have a tumultuous affair.  You know the type of thing love/hate blah blah

 Husband & I are going to stay in an eco cabin designed for campers who don't like to get wet and also is on a fully disabled access site which is adult free. (Cabins have larch exterior and sturdy canvas canopy). Now don't get me wrong I love kids but we are not ever without them so I am looking forward to going camping without getting wet and without other people's kids around.  Its not booked for yet but I am excited as its for three days only - I know but I miss my pets.  On my birthday and a day later our wedding anniversary.  Also its at the base of Glastonbury Tor glastonburytor.org.uk (no obligation to click on link unless one is interested in tales of historically important mythical places) so am even more pleased as apart from Glastonbury Tor its a lovely flat plain.  I like flat these days - I know I don't walk far but I do like a campsite that is not on a terrace where one gets to visit one's fellow campers in the middle of the night because of the lay of the land! Just so you know we haven't booked for the legendary festival having done that thing many many years ago more than once and despite the fact that there are many many middle aged hippies who do still go I don't intend to be one of them, preferring instead to have hazy memories of it that I can wrap up in my mind as much more laid back and happy clappy than they actually were!

I know I know its not real camping as it has electricity and a kettle but to me with me 'ol joints it means I get to feel as though I have been camping without the agony.  I am very very excited and for the next few weeks am going to drive spouse mad with my all things camping conversation.  He can fish and I can pretend to but read and we will be happy campers indeedy.  It isn't either very ecological friendly due to kettle etc of which I am guiltily aware but it is an eco cabin!  Which is better than not.  The site has the David Bellamy award for conservation as well for its tree planting and re-cycling so that makes me feel a little bit less guilty.

The only thing I know I will do is fall off the wooden platform but I won't mind I fall over everything at home as well.  Whilst the site is fully disabled friendly they obviously forgot about a ramp on these eco cabins - I don't mind though as I will write a polite note after we have gone thanking them for the lovely home made cakes and organic meat from the farm shop and just mention the falling off the thing thing.  Afterall we are supposed to be camping and tents don't have ramps do they.

Photo's blurred apologies but I didn't take them as we haven't been yet

A King Size Bed! 
My mother said it looks clean, my guess is this is polite for basic.....

I am off to cuddle my kitten and to sleep hopefully.

Happy Camping.
