Day Seven
Well, the weather is much cooler today. The heat was insane yesterday. Even though I was wearing a hat, by the time I walked dowm Market St, my face was a delightful shade of red & stayed that way for a couple of hours. It was so hot, I had to powder my hands while I was knitting & even then, my hands were still feeling sweaty. I had to stop knitting at onestage because I couldn’t concentrate it was just too hot.
I have a nice temporary filling now. After I recover from the surgery & can travel into the city (with the horrible transport we now have), I will schedule some appointments to get things dealt with.
I weighed myself this morning & I only lost another 200gm today. 139.1kg, total 6.6kg. I’m not going to be depressed about it. It might be all the water I drank yesterday because of the heat. So not panicing.
I saw the cardiologist today. He said there are no signs of heart disease & he’s given me a clearance for the surgery next week. He also said that the blood pressure medication I take (currently) could be triggering my cough. Apparently it is a side effect. Didn’t know that. Most of the cough has now gone. Just the occasional tickle & cough. Nowhere near as bad as the last two weeks. I have wanted to eat something today. But I am hanging in there. Only another week to go. I can do this. Or at least I keep telling myself that.
Hamish is being quite clingy today. He’s currently asleep, resting between me & the arm of the recliner. Finally finished the back of the dress today & started casting on the stitches for the front. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer. The cooler weather makes knitting much easier too.
Report more tomorrow.
