Saturday Night.............

...................and I'm snuggled on the sofa updating my blog.

The rain is lashing down and the winds are almost gale force so theres nowhere I'd rather be.
I'm heating a macaroni in the oven for my (late) dinner, didn't get home from the football till after 6, after a killie pie and coffee ( don't like bovril) I didn't feel like eating anything but I'm starving now.

I was at clinic on Tuesday, good news is my weight is up since last time, but my LF is down a bit. Docs said not to worry too much as one off reading is nothing to panic about, my LF has been steady recently so I might just have had an off day. They'll see how I do in 6-8 weeks and maybe give me IV's a bit earlier.

need to go now........ovens beeping so my dinner must be ready

Weights up :)

My Weight is up, I'm now 46 kgs My magic pills must be working, I'm even managing to have a breakfast and not feel sick afterwards, long may it continue, I want to get to 55kgs and hopefully I'll reach my goal by the New Year.


Wee Benji is suffering from Separation Anxiety, the wee soul is so used to one of us being with him all the time, I dare not leave him alone incase the crabbit neighbour complains about him barking, its a wee shame, he howls and barks like a maniac when I go out of sight, and you can actually see the relief on his face when he sees you're still there.
So my Christmas shopping has been delayed, I can only go into town if I get a babysitter.


Oh well, I'd better go, Its walkies time lol

Woo-Hoo we got a wii-fit

hehe, it came this morning after months of trying every shop that could possibly sell them, I got an email late on Friday night to say that Argos had some limited stock, so, I ordered one straight away, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping there'd be some left lol.
It has not been off since lol, my daughter was off school today so the both of us had a go to find out what our wii-fitness level is - ha, mine is age 44 (not bad, considering) and Seonaids was 31 :O 15 years more than it should be, :O

Hopefully this will help with my Physio too


oh and btw, my weight has dropped again and I've been started on Olanzapine to boost my appetite, so we'll see how it goes :(

weight is 6 1/2 stone or 42.5 kgs or 93.69 pounds :'(

Clinic Again

I got a phone call from Jane at Gartnavel today. After her visit on Monday she went back up to the hospital for a word with the Dietician about my weight. I'm to go up on Tuesday to see them as they are concerned about my weight loss again.

I've got a food diary to fill in, and to record how many enzymes I take with my meals and snacks, and I've also to keep a check on my blood sugars. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out whats going on, I can't afford to lose any more, I'm like a matchstick :(

Weigh-in Week 3

Ok, I'm a wee bit late with this post, due to not being able to access any scales.
But, I managed to get out today and wandered to my mums to weigh myself and the result was :-






The same as week 1 :O or 46.8kgs or 7st 4lbs or 103.6lbs


Oh well, at least its on the up again.


and I still havent had any word from the Hospital about when I've to go in for my IV's.

Clinic Review

At the CF clinic today I got my "official" weight : 45.1 kgs or 7stone 1lb or 99lbs 42 ounces :O

Lung Function was up slightly on last review, 0.86 last time and 0.92 today.

I had to do a walking test today which involved walking between 2 markers which were set at 10 metres apart, for 6 minutes. The Physio took my sats level and heart rate at the start of the exercise and then again after 2 minutes of walking and again after 6 minutes. She also asked me how breathless I felt on a scale of 0 - 10 ( 0 being not breathless at all and 10 being completely knackered ;) ) at these intervals.
Apparently I did rather well, for my Lung Function levels :)

But, alas, even though I got a relatively good report, I'm being admitted next week for IV's. Normally I'd be putting up a fight but I know that I need a boost before the rotten winter weather settles in for good.
So, it seems that I'm to have IV's twice a year as part of my treatment from now on. ( this will be my 3rd this year but I'm not counting the ones I had in May as they were for a boost before going on holiday )

So, tomorrow I'm going shopping (wayhay) for new 'jammies and stuff for next week.

Weigh-in week 2

7stone 3lbs or 46.3 kgs or 103lbs

seems like I've lost a wee bit, thats what I didn't want =[

Oh well, I've got clinic tomorrow so I'll get my "official" weight from them.
