Hello Ladies! - hope you are all well!
I have'nt been online for a few days - my mother has'nt been well again - she was in hospital 3 weeks ago for a week - she had a very irregular heartbeat and very high blood pressure (which apparantly contradicts itself) so had a series of tests etc.. they didnt find the exact problem and sent her home after a week with heart tablets...
she is allergic to so many things and felt that the tablets were'nt agreeing with her... she went to her GP last Tuesday and he gave her a letter to admitt and to go straight back into hospital... We spent 6 hours in A & E (after 3 different doctors and 1 nurse told her she would definately be staying in) when a young doctor came around and sent her home with a "different" tablet - (I thought, as she was allergic to previous one she would need to be monitored but hey, what do I know)
Anyway, we realised a few days later that he had just given her the exact same tablets, just in a clear plastic... hmm - Irish fecking health service, hey?
She looked very pale last night and was upset - her heart was "fluttering" like crazy and she said she was scared so I made her go in again - went in at half 8, had to stay in A & E and have bloods taken, x ray, etc (procedure...) and they admitted her and said she should have never been let out in the first place!!!
- I didnt get out of hospital til 3 this morn and had to work at 9 so was wrecked and worrying didnt help but at least I work in the same hospital so Im able to tip up and down to her. Thanks to everyone for their lovely messages on this before xxx
Ok, so on a more positive note I have lost SIX POUNDS this week!!! - on WW exactly 2 weeks today and have lost a total of 11 lbs......... is this possible? I know this will level off and I will start to loose alot less weekly but I found it so unbelievable that I was doubting if my (new) scales are correct or not!! thrilled with that!!
Also really happy (God.. wait for it... this is SO sad) because of brilliant information from the very lovely Anne Marie - I have discovered that I can still have my (fave) dominos takeaway every now and then!!!!!!
made my day as I thought they were out the window as I am now "dieting" but only 2 and 1/2 points per slice!! woo hoo! (I really need to get out more) so saving points this week for a nice pig out this weekend!!!!!!!!
I did manage (before my mam felt really bad) last night to do 20 mins on the cross trainer. Doubt Ill do any exercise tonight to be honest as have migrane today (eased off loads - took half day from work) and Im wrecked so going to just be good to myself and take it easy.
Hope you are all having a great week!! xxxx
(fingers crossed for Bethanys weigh in tomorrow)
