Anniversary

 

Well my baby has done it! She's lived for a whole year after her diagnosis and prognosis of having just 6-8 weeks left! And she's still bouncing! Her tumour is really bulging out of her bottom bless her, and you can see her poo curving around it. But she's still pooping and that is amazing. She's also eating her normal amount of food and she's eating it dry again. She's happy and loving life! And we are so blessed to still have her. She's just the best and I love her so much. She fills my life with such joy and happiness. 

So Tuesday was my fake birthday - the date of birth I use for loyalty cards and organisations that really don't need my real date off birth i.e. retailers and eateries etc. So far I've had a free cookie from Lidl, a free cake from Costa and 25% off my purchase at H&M. Whoop! So kind.

My blood pressure is through the roof. I've got a BP machine at home but I don't like to use it because the readings were so bad. Ignorance is bliss. Except my GP caught up with me yesterday. My super raised BP might be the HRT. So I might have to come off it, which would be sad as I think there are lots benefits. I have to take a reading at home, twice a day for 2 weeks. Then I'll be back to the doctors and decisions will be made. And, of course, you know what I'm thinking - this issue would be less of an issue if only I could get my arse (and head) in gear and actually lose weight. All my health issues would ease. You'd think that would be a big enough incentive wouldn't you? But no, not for Gilly. She keeps on whispering in my ear that weight loss doesn't last. I try to shut her up by stuffing cakes into her mouth! But it's not working!? Why do fairy godmothers not exist? Solve all my problems if they did. Three wishes....

Knowledge is the treasure and practice is the key.
