It's been raining.
We so badly need the rain.
Everything is so dry.
The grass is already looking green once again.
On Thursday I had another stroke specialist appointment.
He is really really happy with how I am.
He agrees that the left overs from the stroke are hardly noticeable to him let alone anyone who didn't know I had one.
He has concurred with the Autonomic Neuropathy diagnosis by his registrar. It was not a factor in the cause of the stroke but because of the stroke is why I've been able to have an early diagnosis.
I have to have another couple of tests and if everything looks ok still in 3 mths he is going to hand me over to the Endocrine department.
Woohoo!!!!
They will concentrate on the diabetes and blood pressure mainly but it shows how confident he is with my recovery.
I have to seriously think about lap band surgery.
The specs have suggested that I am a good candidate for this even if I may not be "big"enough due to health concerns.
In the last 6 yrs, with food changes and exercise the most I have lost is only 5 kgs.
I'm told not to be depressed about this (yeah, right) as its not what I'm doing or not doing but how my body is working.
In reality, its not.
I keep being told by all the drs that I am definitely their challenge hahahahaha
Anyway, I'll go to an appnt and talk about it with Gary.
Seriously consider it and if all risks are minimal then maybe that's what I'll do.
Started me on a new medication (again) so hoping there are no serious side effects with this one like last time :(
Ciao for now!
