As Time Goes By
Thanks to an anonymous comment, I was reminded that I haven't posted for a long time.
I have been keeping busy with my Art & Design course which started in September 2007. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride... I wanted to do a couple of hours per week, just to get myself out of the house and I ended up doing a full time diploma course. My daughter is going to day nursery (expensive!!!) and is having a whale of a time, whilst I am struggling to keep up with my various commitments. But it is all good.
My weight has rocketed to 154 kgs or so. I can see it in the mirror and feel it in my clothes. It is ridiculous to put on so much weight after struggling for a full year to lose it. But that's the way things go.
One funny thing: I had been feeling very unsexy during my weight loss but now that I've put some of the weight back on, I am back to feeling sexy. Isn't that weird? I guess it feels better to run one's hands over an inflated thigh rather than the opposite.
I found a bariatric surgeon who is willing to take on my care. He is based at UCLH. I am seeing him in 10 days' time. It is good to know that my troubles are finally coming to an end.
I am also going to see a knee specialist at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. I hope he can do something about my knees. I am prepared to go under the knife because life is so hard right now and full of pain. I want to be able to go to University next year and not struggle day in and day out. But will an operation restore my mobility? Will it solve problems or will it create more?
Finally, something that may be of interest to people who are having toilet problems: I am taking 1 teaspoon of Fibresure in my coffee every day and I am regular as clockwork! The downside to it is that it causes some abdominal pain, so I guess it is a matter of finding the right dosage that works for you.
Must get on with my chores now. Last day of the midterm holiday and lots of housework to catch up with plus some homework to be getting on with. My daughter is also in need of some attention. Yesterday she spread the toilet cover thickly with nappy cream as well as the sink, taps, floor, bedroom carpet, toys, books, clothes... I had a fit when I saw it and was amazed I didn't get a stroke. On the other hand, she does things that make me go 'aww!' like change the lining in the toilet basket, take out the shopping from the bags, unload the washing machine, set up the clothes airer, etc. She has started singing and remembers songs from months ago, e.g. she began singing kounia-bella that her granny sang to her last summer. And she can tell the numbers when she sees them written, especially number 4. Sometimes it is hard to believe she is only 2 years and 4 months old. :)
Have a good weekend everyone!
