Shadows

I admit to being a born worrier ,of that there is no doubt. However I do believe in parallels in life. My mum died at an early age (In her 50s) for years she had suffered from Depression and nerves. As a child it was quite rough to watch and hear, especially at night. She was back and forth to the doctors with various complaints and all put down to 'Nerves'. Trouble was she actually had Cancer and by the time they believed her that something was wrong it had spread everywhere. Thirty years on it would seem that the system is as grindingly slow as it was in the 70s. I am not saying that I have the big 'C' but it certainly crosses your mind, especially when you are at the same age as your Mum was diagnosed. Strange thing is I am not scared about death, but more my anger and reaction, if I found something to be wrong that could have been picked up years ago? Fact is our country is so full of asylum seekers and folk from other countries that the NHS is grinding to a halt. I am far from racist, but the fact is our system cannot cope and it is set to get worse unless something is done or more money poured into the system.
I am still training and trying to understand why I have been put in the 'Chubby' bracket by the NHS??? Also went for an eye test today. They said my eyes were that bad that I might as well have another pair of ears in their place. I said 'Pardon'
Went to lunch at the PIzza hut. The waitress asked me if I wanted my pizza cutting into 4 or 6 slices. I said 4 as I couldn't possibly eat 6 slices!
