Recovery

Again, another long break in between entries - sorry. But, I have good excuses! Dad eventually got moved up to the Brompton on the Friday (15th Feb) and he had his op the following Monday. It was a really scary time for all of us and I took time off work to help get mum to and from the hospital. I didn't mind, the only thing that bothered me was my siblings thinking that I was taking over. I wasn't - i did it because they all have their own families to worry about andI dont. Anyway, the operation went really well. I cannot believe the quick turn around, within 2 weeks he had been rushed to hospital, had an angiogram, moved hospital, had a double bypass and was up walking around again....amazing considering he turned 79 yest! So, my stressful couple of weeks are over. I never managed to sit my exam for the course that I was attending when all this started but I hope to soon.
What have I been up to apart from this?? Well I have started on yet another diet!! Its not really new to me, just restarting. Its called Neris and India's Idiot Proof Diet and it is a low carbohydrate diet. I have done well on it before but as usual I only stuck at it for a few weeks! But this time....well this time I hope is different. I had a mini epihany....I think....I suddenly thought the other day that if I had only stuck at it last time I tried it and managed to lose a pound a week then I would have lost 52 pounds by now!! That has spurred me on for the time being. I am also making up for lost time in the gym. I wasn't able to go for the couple of weeks that dad was in hospital so working really hard now!
Work is okay for the time being - need to get some overtime in so that I can save up for a holiday!!! But gonna have to take a couple of weeks off soon as think I might have to have surgery on my arm. I keep getting tennis elbow and had too many steroid injections now. Going to the consultant on Wednesday so will find out.
