12 November 2009

Down a little bit more today! Those scales are definitely singing my tune at the moment. It must be because I've adjusted my portion sizes. I've never really accounted for the aount of vegetables I've eaten, just added 1 cup in the food diary. Whatever it is, I'm happy.

Conference for Alzheimers yesterday was good although the hour's journey took a lot longer because of the mist and drizzle. I felt really good about myself - I wasn't the biggest person there, I didn't have to worry about the kind of chairs I would have to sit on and I didn't even think twice about the stairs up to the third floor. I did have to have a couple of plain biscuits with my mid morning coffee as I knew we would be having lunch much later than I'm used to and I didn't want to go mad at lunch if I was starving. It worked out well and I had two quarters of a prawn mayo roll and a couple of small apples. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I knew too. I have been off the scene for 5 years and thought I might be out of date and rusty but was able to contribute well. Its been such a long time since I've done anything like this and I got such a buzz from it even though it was a long day. Slept like a log last night.

Dr is sending OH for a kidney scan. Just waiting for the date to come through. We already knew that the chemo and radiotherapy had taken their toll on his kidneys - just hope this isn't another step on the downward ladder.

Another busy day today. Lots of errands and I have to go and pick up my new glasses. Can't wait, my present pair are making the bridge of my nose so sore.

Have a happy productive day

The scales have decided to behave themselves and I'm losing again. I can see changes in my body too. Hopefully I'll reach my next mini goal for Christmas

My optimism at the beginning of last week was short lived. OH has not been very well and a visit with Ollie to the vet resulted in him being booked in for an operation on Thursday week. He is having the tumour removed and also being castrated. Not looking forward to that at all. OH has been muttering doom and gloom about it ever since, but we don't have any other option and I do trust our vet. Ollie has never been to the vet before though or been separated from us. He comes everywhere with us so I'm not looking forward to leaving him there. I know I'm being daft. but ......

OH is going to see the dr tomorrow and he isn't happy that the dr he usually sees is off sick for 3 months and he has to see someone else at the practice. I think I'll go in with my head under a blanket after the way he moaned at the receptionist.

Its been a very misty day today. The mist cleared for about 30 minutes at lunch time and then rolled down the hill again and shrouded us again. More forecast for tomorrow!

Lets hope the rest of the week is more positive. I find it very hard to remain upbeat when all around me are doing doom and gloom. On the bright side I'm going to a workshop on Wednesday for the Alzheimers Society - a day out for me. It will be good to meet new people and get out.

Have a positive healthy week
