Nice that 1 of your colleagues thought to bring nuts instead of biscuits and crisps.
Evening all.
All day meetings today so very glad to have walked to the first one to avoid the feeling of being completely inactive.
Lunch was picked up from M&S. Smoked spiced prosciutto and cheese rollitos followed by a 28g bag of Brazil nuts and a handful of mixed nuts from a large bag bought by a colleague.
Dinner was a delicious sirloin steak.
Plenty of tea with cream throughout the day.
I would like to say because it is worthy. Truth is chemo nurse appears to have dripped some, to which the hon member took offence. Having examined the appendage (adoringlyGood Lord! Am I missing something? Why did your doc want a photo?
I would like to say because it is worthy. Truth is chemo nurse appears to have dripped some, to which the hon member took offence. Having examined the appendage (adoringly) she wondered if I wanted to take a pic to show the nurse. I opined that lovely gals though they both were and flattering as it was I wasn't interested in that kind of thing . We just needed to keep things professional . We parted amicably.
Very busy today (for me anyway). My new desk arrived which meant I had to clear out everything that was in the position it was to occupy. I was hoping that my cleaner-lady would come today so that she could clean the floor in that area for me. She didn't come, so I had to do it before the desk went into place. That reminded me why I need someone to do my floors for me. Spent a couple of short breaks in my chair to try to fend of the back pain. Didn't work. By the time I was finished I could barely move! Still kind of sore, but I am a bit more mobile now. And I am sitting at my desk with the laptop right now. The rest of the place is a mess because I couldn't get everything put away - never mind - it'll still be there tomorrow and maybe I can sort something out then.
The result of the above was that I had only tea until about 2.30. Rushed some braised pork and tomatoes (from the freezer) and dashed out at 2.45 to pick Em up from school (the weather is appalling today and she'd have been blown over by the wind, she's only a little girl. More tea when we came back and a good long cuddle - me in my big chair, easing my back and Em sitting on the arm, in a close embrace. (I do miss my cuddles since hubby went.) Let her help herself to milk and a couple of Jammie Dodgers and let her watch her favourite TV channel - kind of violent but rather like traditional Japanese drama, all jerky and (pretend) athletic.
Just tea since then and that will be all, I think, until sometime tomorrow

I just found the idea of the Dr suggesting a richard pic hilarious and did offer a comment or 2 - as if I would. Receptionist said could she have a brief description of the reason for appointment - I was very tempted. Not too nasty but no horse riding todayOh dear, but that’s really made me laugh, I’m sorry. Hope it’s not too nasty.
Thank you I appreciate your input sorry I get upset at times it's hard trying to deal with my health issues. And can get defensive as I've been told by someone in a FB ..group someone told me to stop taking my current diabetic medications and use metformin and just put up with the diarrhea like they have no idea what UC is.... Or people saying "can you eat that".@annabell1 I certainly wasn't meaning to imply that you could fix your UC with only the kind of diet that helps my son. I only meant to imply that for some people, watching the diet helps - as I know you are doing. I only wish it could help you more.
My sister-in-law has UC and has suffered for many years with it. Nothing seems to help her and I feel so sorry for her - and for you. UC isn't he same as Crohn's and in many ways I think it is worse. Looking at my husband's family, I have to wonder how much the various disorders are associated. There are Crohn's (3 sufferers), Coeliac disease (2 sufferers), Ulcerative Colitis (3 sufferers) and IBS. 2 of the UC sufferers seem to be in remission for long periods of time but eventually it comes back again and they have all 3 ended up in hospital for treatment.Then there are lots of arthritic sufferers and one Lupus sufferer (who couldn't cope with the pain and took her own life when doctors dismissed her pleas for help). Certainly autoimmune diseases are at the back of a lot of it.
With your positive attitude and understanding of what can cause flare-ups, I do hope you can find a way of reducing your condition at least. Don't give up hope of finding a way of alleviating the condition (perhaps using both diet and medication) because the answer may just be out there for you.
Thank you for that cheersNo problem.
Substitute a granulated sweetener for the sugar.

Sorry @ianpspurs, made me laugh too. I reckon you're one of the few who could dig humour out of chemo!Oh dear, but that’s really made me laugh, I’m sorry. Hope it’s not too nasty.
There are about twenty taxies taken out of circulation for nearly two hours for the school run morning and arvo here in Bundaberg, they pick up the special needs kids that cannot get on the school buses.Was murder trying to get a taxi for tomorrow morning as they are all booked for school runs?? Wonder how much that costs us and what children are ferried to school in taxis?

The state government pick up the tab here I believe...
There's a few other pancake recipes on that site but the souffle one is my favourite.Thank you for that cheers
Thanks but what other reaction could one possibly have? If I am totally honest I would also *msl at a grown man/woman analysing food for carbohydrate and expecting, as if by magic, eating that way would manage diabetes - if I wasn't part of this forum. Doesn't pay to take these things too seriously IMHO. Enjoy your break.Sorry @ianpspurs, made me laugh too. I reckon you're one of the few who could dig humour out of chemo!
