Thursday 3rd of April

A day at the hospital. Yesterday. With LB. It all went well and I took him home just before 1pm. But now he has to rest for at least 10 days and let the stitches heal. No walking around, apart from the necessary trips to the bathroom, his legs elevated 99% of the time. Plenty of time to read and watch TV. Shear nightmare for him, as it would be for me!

I am still full of snot! During the night it runs down the back of my throat, causing me to cough and splutter when I get up. But the good thing of walking the dogs at 5.30 in the morning in a field: nobody hears or sees you....so you can just let it out.

Planted my first beans in the green house yesterday. Oh how I love this time of a year :). And I filled 5 big planter pots with very early potatoes.

Another day of nearly perfect eating for me yesterday. I was disgusted to see how much unhealthy food they serve in hospital when I went for a cup of coffee. All the restaurants and coffee shops were full of white bread, sweets, crisps and other junk. But I did find a little shop tucked away in a far corner of the hospital that sold lovely fruit, veg and plants.

I did have two Lindt dark chocolate balls, 1 after lunch and 1 after dinner. LBs daughter gave them to me for mothersday. So sweet :)

After work I will attempt to do a quick weekly shop, so I have the rest of the afternoon to keep LB amused and take the dogs for a long walk.

Pretty tired today. I didn't sleep much as I was worried to kick LBs legs and cause him pain. And I don't think he slept much either.

Never mind.

Happy Days are here to stay :)

PS: Glen, the greek yogurt I get is made by a company called Fage, the yogurt is called Total 0% greek yogurt.

Good Morning - I agree, I'm always surprised by the food served in hospitals; like you I expect a higher standard of 'healthy'; just as I was surprised to be sitting beside a table of surgeons and one was eating fried chicken with potato chips and salting both. I thought 'yep, but I bet if I were your patient you'd be lecturing me on needing to lose weight and lay off the sodium'. I know for a fact (plus research reports) that healthcare workers are marginally at higher risk for weight issues - stress, long hours, etc., so they have more challenges to eating healthy and exercising. The cafe's are probably serving what's selling so just accommodating demand.
