NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

Exercises going quite good. Finger gets a little stiff after I have been using it but I can bend it much better.

Brother is in hospital and likes the nurses who are looking after him well. This is good because he has never had a lot of time for nurses or doctors. I think because they just seem him as a fat blob, that is what he thinks anyway. He is unwell as well as overweight and that is making him worse and they seem to realise that.

I am hoping to go and visit him on Wednesday with my Nephew. He is right in the centre of London and the journey is rough.

On my signature I have put my weight loss since starting my thread. Then the monthly total `loss` or gain as is the case in August. I thought it would help. The menu I have put on for tomorrow is from one of the diaries where I lost weight. Have a couple in hand and hope it will help. I could put them from since I started at sw but would take up all the space :rolleyes:

How have you been and how is food going? Not looked at your thread as have been busy.
 
What a good idea with your thread, it shows how well you've done and by going back to your original diaries should get you losing again.
I'm doing ok ta. I'm on a roll at the moment, apart from a bit of a glitch on Sunday.
Hope you get some good news from your brother soon, he's in the right place by the sound of it.

Spoke to him today and he sounds very tired. He only wanted to speak for a few minutes. He says they have got 10 litres of water out of him and want to get at least another 10 litres out. It really depends on how his kidneys hold up.

Says they are treating him well but he is getting a lot of cramp, which he usually does anyway, and spends a lot of time sitting in the chair. His legs and feet have not gone down much, they are still very swollen.

He sounds a bit down but that is not unusual, he has not been happy for quite a while and like most of us he wants everything to happen quickly. He does not know yet when they will let him go home.

Ta Mandy. If I get up will weigh in the morning, if not Saturday.

EDIT. Who am I kidding, I know I will check the scales first, nothing to do with if I wake up early enough.
 
You made me smile about the scales.
It's sounding positive with your brother, he's bound to be fed up, but he must be more comfortable without all that fluid.
Good luck for wi x

I didn`t go to weigh in.

My nephew rang yesterday evening and said he was going to see his Dad Saturday morning and would I like to go. Of course I said yes. I am so pleased I went because he is looking very happy, no stress signs at all. They are keeping a very close eye on him because this procedure could harm his kidneys. They take 2-3 blood tests a day to keep a check on the kidneys. U`s & E`s apparently.

The Doc has told him that they have never had anyone whose water has come out as good as his, which is why they want him to stay till begining of next week. The doc is available all weekend in case needed.

I have not seen him so relaxed in a long time. I am so glad I went.

Thanks Mandy. I told Albert what I had spent my money on so that he knew I had not wasted it and spent in on myself.

He has only put some more money in my account. Wow! what can I say but thanks bruv. I am so lucky.
