    Glad to hear you are home and doing well, I'm sure you will recover quicker in your own bed.

    Scales are still playing funny buggers, so half off, was 3lb down last Thursday, the bloat had gone down and now 3/4 off, so half off for me, still I'm not gaining. 

    Saw a consultant at the hospital, I honestly don't know why they bother, no examination, just a reduction in meds, in and out in 10min, Mr Pepper looked at me, I looked at him and it was a silent, is this a joke look.  I did have a list of questions, but they just wanted rid of me.

    Rang BUPA when I got home, 2 appointments, they want me to have an urgent Rheumatology consultant appointment, it was all booked, along with another appointment for a different consultant for injury to ankle / foot and ganglion removal in an hour, I'm working through my list one at a time.

    Have a good week everyone, looking forward to the sunshine coming back.

    Pleased to be able to say a 0.5 pound loss over the last week, meaning a total of 1 lb for the 3 weeks to date.

    Hi Brambling, just checking you are doing well, I know it's only been a week, I'm sure are being looked after, hoping the pain is ok and you are getting up and about. X
