flaxseed's Journal, 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 I have been off the scene for 5 years and thought I might be out of date and rusty but was able to contribute well.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

I hope too that OH's symptoms are not kidney related and another turn downward. You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers. You are doing so well with your chart!! KUDOS!!! And your day yesterday sounds quite enjoyable. So nice to feel better in our own skin, isn't it? You reminded me ... I really need to get my glasses adjusted ... I've had them two years and I think they've been tweaked!! Keep slipping down my nose ... quite annoying!! Have a good day my friend!
