In point form....sorta....cos I am feeling lazy...yet full of thoughts to share:
- Small Man has a new surgeon to see, right here in our city, no more trips 'over there' needed
- He is very close to having lost 30kg - or 66lbs - he hasn't been at his current weight for several years!
- We have pretty much mastered what he can eat, and have co-ordinated it with when so that his blood sugar levels are stable (otherwise it drops/rises drastically if not managed properly). This can be tricky with a lap band but we have discovered the best way around it
- There is a decent amount of food preparation involved, but sooo worth it :)
- The inpatient program for CFS at the Austin Hospital has been canned. It is supposed to be happening at the RCH, but nothing has been done to start it up - it's just not meant to be for us. I wasn't sure, and hearing this was the confirmation
- Back to college has been extremely tiring - for Small Man and for me
- The schedule is difficult, it takes me 20 mins to drive from here to the college, and sometimes he is only there for an hour and a bit. Some days are spent just watching the clock and driving driving driving. I am very grateful that he is able to go, if only for a short time - but it's hard
- The smelter Big A works at is under threat of closure - depending on a review in June next year
- This will mean many big changes for us if it happens as you may imagine
- Possum is getting loads of hours at his McJob - which is fantastic as there have been ZERO IT jobs to apply for. So many job losses and uncertainty down here at the moment....
- Work has been far too busy but I am ok with it at the moment (as in not feeling like euthanising anyone), it's extra money I guess
- I have felt like shit for the last two weeks, not sure what is causing but fairly sure it's sinus related and I'm sure I'll live.
- I'm tired
