It was sunday morning and the five year old was busy scribbling sorry drawing on his art book.
Me : what r u drawing
S : you mummy lots of pictures of u
(my daughter just gives a smirky smile since s spends half of his time adoring me with compliments of sorts and has me wrapped around his little finger)
So the pictues come of a big fat face and a stick leg n hands, there was something wierd connecting the body and the face the neck was a stick with a big round thing next to it. (no i dont look like an alien of sorts)
Me : what is that sweet heart
S : This (and he points at my neck which really hurts)
Indeed there is a swelling which i have not noticed and it hurt. I am one of those really excited cases who gets panicky on illness. Immediately decided that it was thyroid related, or some other complicated disease. Call up friend whose a doc and she patiently told me not to imagine the worst to get it checked. So here I am waiting for the day to end to get it checked.
The wierd thing was spent half the night almost in panic of some life threatening disease ( yes i can get a bit dramatic its a genetic thing). Do people actually do that wonder how life goes on if they die suddenly. My biggest worry was the kids and will H get remarried...

Keep us posted. I do trust all's well. JSK
I confess I'm as bad. I had a slight headache and felt a bit achey after returning from holiday (naturally, as a result of just travelling for almost 24hrs!) and my first though was 'oh hell, I've got malaria!' (I was in Kenya a few weeks previously).
But yeah, good think you're getting it checked out :)
