I'll get the health bit out the way first. Yesterday kicked off with a visit to the hospital where I will be having my surgery on Monday. The nurse took my medical history, vitals and bloods and told me I'll have to stay in for a few days for refeeding syndrome since my BMI is now under 16 but I did find out that I'll be working with my favourite dietician, Jennie, who is an absolute star. (Incidentally she emailed me today to say Hi and that she's sending me some nestle flavour pots in the post in order to make the Peptamen taste a bit better. Hurrah!)
After the appointment I went for a quick coffee with Dave and we met our friend, Les (who's birthday I missed) and we went to Pizza Hut for their lunchtime buffet. Goes without saying I didn't have any BUT I did have some ice cream - great thing about the place is if you ask for an 'Ice Cream Factory' they give you an empty bowl and spoon and you can help yourself to as little or as much as you like and decorate it with sauce and toppings of your choice. Very handy if you have a digestive disorder since you can work within your own limitations and not feel bad about handing a still half full dish of dessert back to the waiter (I don't know why, but it always makes me feel bad) I asked for my dish to arrive at the same time as the guy's lunches so we could all eat together. It was the first time I've eaten out (and kept it down!) since all this nonsense began 3 years ago which made me feel fantastic!!!
In the evening I took Dream (my pony) out for a walk for the first time by myself (I have always had someone walk with me before since I'm afraid he might misbehave - but he didn't! He was an utter angel!) We had a great time and I spent the rest of the evening cleaning tack and listening to the radio.
This morning Dave, Ned (another chum) and I went to a nearby pool with waterslides and had an awesome time, it was such fun whizzing down the slides into the plunge pool and dodging the waves in the main pool. I even wore a bikini! Must admit I felt very self concious and skinny and kept my mat wrapped around me while we were out of the pool but that was partly due to the fact I was so cold. A few people stared at my bony body but I just ignored them and remembered that most people feel self concious for one reason or another and they may have just been looking at my horrendous tan lines!!!!
Took Dream out for another walk in the rain tonight with a massive XL raincoat and zebra print wellies on, I must have looked hilarious! The coat came down to the tops of my boots and it's supposed to be hip length (did I mention I'm a shortie??!!) To be fair my wet hair was all over my face so I probably looked like a little girl taking her pony out (Awwwww, it's be funny if I wasn't 30 and getting married soon!) Been watching PeeP show tonight whilst working on Dream's fancy dress costume for Sunday. My Rock n Roll lifestyle eh?
Hope you guys are all Ok, feel free to message me anytime either here on on my Inspire!
Much love,
Zigster. xxxxxxxxxx
