CD6

Yup, that's right. The last cycle was only 23 days, And then AF only lasted 3 days. WTF?? It was heavy and painful, and then it went. So 44 days, 40 days, 67 days, then 23 days. And because I was at my Mum's for Christmas and forgot, I haven't charted this month. Ah well. Will start again next time.

Christmas was ok. A little awkward at times, but I think that was just how I felt. Husband rang after dinner on Christmas Day, and then again yesterday when i got home, so that was good. And I had a fab evening with my in-laws on Boxing Day. My cousin decided against going in the end, which I was angry about because of the trouble Mum had gone to, but relieved for me. And I got some lovely presents, had yummy food and saw family. Yes I missed my Dad and Nanna, and wanted Bob every minute of the day, but it was good.

I took Geoff to the vet on tuesday. She doesn't know what the lump is, except that it doesn't seem to be attached to the muscle. They only way they can find out is by removal. This will cost £100, an extra £50 to have it sent to the lab to determine exactly what it is, then any antibiotics he may need are on top of this. I think that's quite a lot for a pet that only cost £6! And I would pay it, except rats often don't do so well under anaesthetic.
While he seems to be ok, and not bothered by it, I don't think I want to risk it. Especially with Husband away. Yet if it is better to so it while he is still 'ok'....... I really don't know.
I think I will ring some more veterinary surgeries, see what their prices are, and see how he is in 2 weeks.
He's also go to lose weight! I knew he was a chunky monkey, they all are really! They get the recommended amount of rat nuggets a day (and don't even always eat all that!), and don't get fed a lot of treats, but they are very lazy! So I have to cut all their food down a bit and see. He seems ok, it only bothers him a bit when he's trying to get comfortable laying down. He's happy enough I think, so that's the main thing.

Husband still intends on coming home for a few days in february. I can not wait!!
