Sunday 20th May – Relaxing after a good and disappointing week.

Last weekend Mark and I were in Verona and had a wonderful time seeing Sam Smith, and just being together. However eating proved to be a bit of a disaster. On the Saturday lunch after a bit of retail therapy, I had a bean soup and then gnocchi. However something disagreed with me, and I spent the afternoon being sick – it is a relief when whatever is too big for my system eventually reappears and then I can get on with it, sadly this was all repeated after breakfast on the Sunday and I spent the morning in our room.

This week has been a bit the same (more being sick) with me accepting that although I could have some soft textured food the week before last I now can’t, so I am back to a liquidised diet and drinking fluids. I have been to see a doctor who specialises in nutrition and an osteopath who specialises in scar tissue and my back feels better and I have a few more ideas of what to eat which makes a pleasant change. So on Friday I texted Mr Lamah and I will be having the same procedure to stretch the opening sometime over the next few weeks. The hope is that it works, as there is a possibility that as I am prone to scar tissue and adhesions that it might not.

The good news is that I have got back into walking the dogs, and yoga and we have been to a lovely party in London, and off to Glyndebourne last night. So life is resembling some normality. My energy is ok, definitely getting better.
