Beauty 365 … Stories of Love and Life for Everyday

I’m in good humour about it, so that’s the main thing, but after a few days of an unusual asthma flare up, my doctor called me in for testing. “Highly unlikely”, “very slim possibility”, “nothing to be concerned about”, the doctor’s words were reassuring. Hmmm.

I realise it’s a most unflattering pic, but this one is preferable to the one in which I’m getting a nasal swab! And I’m so thankful that by chance, my jumper matched the tester's gloves! A fashion fluke! (The tester was amused by my mid-test selfie, but thankfully held back from suggesting psychiatric testing as well!)

At this point I am trying not to let my imagination get the better of me by entertaining too many ‘what ifs’. But I will feel better when I get negative results in a few days.

In the meantime, I will try to keep an even lower profile and very sadly, will need to postpone the proposed visit of my mum on Mother’s Day.

I might even milk it and get a few cups of tea in bed!! Oh yes, help! Come to think about it, I'm definitely feeling worse...!
