26th Feb – a good healthy day. An expensive medication day!

Hey all, hope you are well.

Hump day done! YES!

I am pleased to report, apart from 3 extra Brazil nuts, my day has been good for food and exercise.

I blame my daughter for the additional nuts, I was working from home today and she popped in just as I started on my nuts and fruits. Obviously I asked her if she’d eaten, at which point she gave me puppy dog eyes! So she had one of my prepared tubs as well, but she doesn’t like Brazil nuts.

In other news… it’s been an odd day. I started by taking my urine samples to the nurse, 2 pots, 1 to send off the other for a dip test. I have an infection.

I mentioned I needed to book a smear test, and that I was thinking of April, as I need to book a day off (I’m a wimp and need a diazepam), however she very sweetly and kindly bullied me into an appointment this Friday!

GULP!

Paul has managed to get the day of despite the short notice. He’ll need to drive me and get me to nurse, then home again and into bed.

He is a true sweety, I don’t know how I would cope without him sometimes.

Our walk this evening was centred around going to the pharmacy.

And that ladies and gents, is where £27 flew out of my bank account!

Antibiotics (infection), contraceptive injection (cos apparently I’m too bloody old for the implant! I’ve told Paul he should pay for this, he just grinned 😆) and 1 tiny little diazepam!

Ah well, tis what it is!

Work was again a very unsatisfactory day.

So, to the day!

Sleep – not a bad night’s sleep.

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruit, 1 cheese portion.

For lunch I had prawn salad.

For dinner we had chicken in a maggi bag with mushrooms, sprouts, beans, onion and garlic, with oven cooked spuds.

The antibiotics need to be taken with food, so despite not being hungry, we’ve got a bowl of strawberries and fat free natural Greek yoghurt. I know it looks like cream, I promise you it isn’t!

Fluid – 200ml of milk, 4 cups of tea, 1 can Pepsi max, 1 glass of water. And I’ll have to up my water now, try to flush the kidneys!

Exercise – a decent walk, longer than expected, just over 4km. It wasn’t a hard walk, but it felt like a decent walk.

So that’s it from me.

Night 🤗
