Feeling Human Again

[Guest guest]

Thank you to all of you for your kind thoughts and best wishes the last few days.

I was crook, but I'm feeling 80% better this afternoon and tonight. I am taking more pain killers... probably more than I need, but I ain't going back there! I think I was definately under doing the pills. I've actually eaten more today than I probably have all week. A bit of soup, a bit of juice, a paddle pop and lots of water. One tiny wee little slip... and a very bad one. My daughter left some Lindt balls on the kitchen bench (from an admirer on Valentines Day). Big, Big Mistake leaving one of those lying around me. It was delicious! Now how to stop myself from doing that too often!

Anyway... I'm feeling human again. Day by day from now on.

Nic... best wishes for tomorrow my love. You are a brave girl as far as I am concerned. I keep seeing people on the message boards saying they would give their soul for a band. Maybe I too would go back again (god forbid) if I get the results that I hope for.

Di... hope my wheelchair buddy is doing ok this evening.

Love to all

Hiya Mel

Good to hear that you are feeling better, keep up the painkillers - there is no badge of honour (IMHO) to not having pain relief so go for it. Don't over do the painkillers, I think it is maximum of 8 Panadol's in 24hours - just double-check that. If you take more you can wind up with a nosebleed that will not stop or worse!

How do you stop yourself from having what you shouldn't be at this stage? You just have to, it is for your long term benefit and jeopardising your band at this early stage has to be a good motivation for denying yourself a moments pleasure.

Having had a band for 18 months previously, I know that there is no other life for me. Once you are healed and come to terms with life with your band you will understand this. Promise you.
