23rd March 2009. Written as follows:-

Oh my days. I had great news today. Not satisfied with what I was told when I phoned the hospital 2 weeks ago. Well I spoke to someone else this time. No 6 months wait yeah! She told me that my name is on Dr Patels waiting list, my pre assessment appointment should be in May and my surgery around the end of May. Is this really happening. I feel that I'm back on track. I'm off to water aerobics tommorrow, that's if my cold is a little better. Hopefully, I start tai chi on Saturday.

Now something odd has happened. I've only recently started including some exercise in my weekly schedule. Note I mention 'some'. Well, i started off at 19 and half stone that was last week. Well, yesterday I weighed in again and the scales read 18 stones. I thought that can't be right, so I asked my daughter to test the scales. She said her weight was about right. I think i'd better go and get myself weighed cause I just don't believe that reading. I've hardly made great changes to loose 1 and half stone.

Its been one of those weeks. Mothers day, yet I still found myself in the kitchen most of the day on Sunday. Nobody to give me a treat. Significant other went to work early in the morning; daughter went to work early shift. So I was left at home looking after my grand daughter just turned 1 yr. old. She is not feeling too well at the moment, so is a little bit miserable and hard work (love her all the same).

On hubby's return he gave me a bunch of flowers and a beautiful card, also got from my daughter two small gifts from daughter and grand daughter.

That made my day.
