Thursday 10:00am. I have been to the doctor again to arrange my V. She (the doc) still thinks my W should have a coil. I told her that W objected on the grounds of heavy periods but she said that modern coils make periods lighter. I will pass this on to W but I doubt if she will believe me. Apparently the V is just a short op on a local anaesthetic and no big deal so I await my appointment with mixed feelings. One problem I am having is that D16 has a habit of barging into our room at 11:30pm for a “chat”. For some reason, W encourages this practice. So far all she has caught us doing is discussing our problems but if things improve who knows what she may see. I could put a lock on the door but at this stage I feel it would look a bit too “aggressive” to W. I had a quiet word with D16 on the school run this morning and told her that she is welcome to come in if the door is open but that she should not come in if it is closed. I think she understood. SD
