My eyes are for scanning today, should be ok, though I am going to ask about reactor lenses, its just that the sandpaper feeling of eyelids – especially in sunlight – needs to be sorted, they can also get sore in the office, so its just more advice on how best to work around these issues, then I have the docs this pm, iv started with sores on the ball of my right foot, and a little on my left, very painful, they should have gone by now, I do wear Doc Martens as much as possible, they are superbly comfortable and so I just need some meds for my feet.

So this is where today and my appointment at the Leeds dental institute brought me; We’re not doing the op, I thought it were just minor, turns out it would have been much more!? its too dangerous, so we will see other options but they would also be reluctant to either bridge or insert a post, both can very easily cause infection.

If they now pull the tooth then the bone wont fill with blood and heal properly, that then spreads which can cause my face to collapse, that’s due to the meds and sarcoid, If they take me off the pred my lungs and hilar lymph nodes fill up in no time so we keeping me on 10mg prednisolone until Jan 14th and then see? its not just the pred, its also the alendronic acid and the phosphors? that are now in my body. Its not a problem, we can take the tooth below the gum and then sort it, im more bothered about a denture flying out when I get performing again!

And so to keep some colour on my feet!

Nice socks again!

The first few days in my new job were good, very nervous on the first day, in-fact, when I got there and were being introduced to the sections and teams I burst into a daft sarcoid sweat, for those who understand its so annoying and embarrassing.

As I hoped for, come the second day the sweats had calmed lots, and I finally started some of the work by myself, and this second day ended with a team outing in Leeds, very good night indeed, I had to leave for the train at 10:15pm yet the one night you wanted the trains to be on time, then they weren’t, I needed to get to Ilkley, hmmm, I ended up getting the Skipton train and got off at Shipley, this was a plan hoping that the Bradford to Ilkley train still had to run, yes, what a great plan, back to Ilkley for 11:15 and a taxi on home.

The third day I felt much more comfortable, the team outing (Five female and four male) was a brilliant ice breaker! thankfully of my time leaving as some didn’t get to bed until 1:30 and 4:00am!

Yes im enjoying being in work again, sarcoids can work, im in the one in ten of sarcoids and will still push on, its 40 hours per week and so its vital to rest lots too. One thing that happened on Friday, my left eye played up somewhat, I had got some new drops and plus im at the eye specialist on 14th November, I will ask what else we can do? though I will be getting some reactor lenses glasses, although its a nice office working environment I still need to keep elements out of my eyes.

Onwards and upwards still!!!
