Here we are, thread 4 .
Time for me to have a large kick up the arse and lose weight! (After Easter!)

[TheHumancatapult]

Hi Abgirl


Diet suspended here ds3 to children's wards he not well pale and floppy plus seizure monster paying a nasty long visit

[TheHumancatapult]

So it's crap city on food

[Tortoise]

Hope ds3 is ok Human.

I've spent over an hour trying to clean the cooker. Engineer coming tomorrow to fix it! Bought some oven pride so shelvesvare currently soaking in it. Will do the main oven with it later. Got to leave it on for 4 hours. The engineer is certain to notice its just been done!

[TheHumancatapult]

Ds3 pretty rough seizure lasted ages

[TheHumancatapult]

Tortoise leavr on over night

[Abgirl]

Humancatapult, I do sympathise, one of my RL friends has a DD who suffers from seizures. Never fun to deal with and hospital is hard work too. DS1 spent 10 weeks in SCBU and healthy eating was the last thing on my mind - even if I had wanted to, there weren't the options!

Tea was fish, a small jacket, asparagus and carrots so as long as I keep off the snacks tonight it'll be a good day...

[Tortoise]

I can't, he's coming between 8am and 12 pm. The shelves do actually lookuch better. Oven is under treatment lol. Will do that at 11/12 tonight!

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Human so sorry to hear about ds3, is he staying overnight in hospital or is he home now? I hope he feels better soon.

Tortoise glad the cooker's being looked at quickly, reminds me mine is overdue for a clean.

Abgirl sounds like a really good day for you, I love asparagus and so filling for the calories. This diet has really made me appreciate vegetables, you can stuff yourself with things like courgettes, peppers, mushrooms, celery and it's so filling. I had a chicken casserole for dinner for the last two nights with all those things in plus a glass of pinot grigio to give it a nice flavour. I hope you had a good evening, when you start a diet your evenings can go on forever when you're trying not to snack.

Unfortunately I then ate about 500 cals of chocolate . On the positive side I think dds have given me a bug because we've had 3 upset tummies tonight. Is it wrong that I have enjoyed feeling ill?

[TheHumancatapult]

Ds in picu ( intensive care) as drugs to stop it are so strong that they affect breathing wont know till morning if any damage done to his brain as was over a hour

I bern dispatched to parent accomidayokn to rest

[TheHumancatapult]

Abgirl

Luckily addenbrooks are good to deal with will just live on junk for now and in scale things I don't care right now

[Tortoise]

Oh no Human. I hope all turns out ok and your Ds is home and well soon.

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Human, poor ds3. I hope he is better soon and you're all able to get some rest.

[CheckpointCharlie]

human oh no, are you ok? How awful. Sending him lots of get well vibes.

[ICBINEG]

Best wishes human, Addenbrokes is a great hospital as these things go.

Have everything crossed here.

[TheHumancatapult]

Back on ward now , rescue drugs mostly out system breathing fine . I am living on crap and energy drinks . But hopefully out in time for holiday Monday

[TheHumancatapult]

Icb

Yup Addenbrooks my first choice luckily only 25 mins from m

[CheckpointCharlie]

Phew. Poor thing. So am assuming he has epilepsy?

So glad he seems to be on the mend.

[Abgirl]

Human, glad to hear that your ds is back on the ward and fingers crossed that you are out soon.

Still being good, resisted cake when out for a coffee at the garden centre with my mum this morning, and ice cream at the park with DSs this afternoon. We do have pizza for tea tonight but going to just have a couple of slices and serve with some salad. Tomorrow will be a challenge as DSs are off to GPs for next week and we are meeting at a pub for sunday lunch and to handover - planning to have a salad... How's everyone else's weekend? Hope you've all got some sunshine to enjoy...

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Human hope ds continues to make a recovery and he leaves hospital soon.

Abgirl, that is brilliant. Did you look up the calories of the foods you didn't eat? Hundreds I bet! When I started losing weight I was shocked at how I could eat a few hundred snack cals with one trip to a supermarket or a garden centre.

We're having a good weekend so far. Both girls had aparty in a soft play area this morning. Then I had a playdate with dd1 and a school friend of hers. We went to the park and I had one coffee and a small bite of dd1s cookie. Nice to have some sunshine as we've had snow every day this week so perhaps winter is over.

[Tortoise]

Well, i have had plenty of exercise today. Took DDs on a shopping trip to Bristol. Sooo much walking plus walked the mile back to the train station. My legs are aching and I have a blister on my heel.
Dds had fun spending my money in Primark. I bought a pair of skinny jeans to wear with my new DM boots that I treated myself to off Ebay for my Birthday (which is today).
I forgot to buy myself a cake, which is probably a good thing!
DDs did buy me some sweets and choc in poundland with their pocket money.
DSs didn't even get me a card .
Haven't even got the energy to make dinner! DDs had McDonalds earlier so they have made sandwiches.

[TheHumancatapult]

tortoise

Belated happy birthday for yesterday and yay on treat self


Yup ds3 has epilepsy amongst other things . Is a lot better and should be home today just in time go away tomorrow picu wax a precaution as drugs stop the seizure affect the breathing and he had a lot if drugs . His speech more slurred than normal . but neuro hopes it come back to where was . It's a wait and see but all agree holiday be good long as take protocol etc with us

Diet has been extremely crap but oh we'll and will just add it to the weight need loose after holiday as going to enjoy myself and not think about it

[coffeewineandchocolate]

Aww human so sorry to hear about your ds- just managed to catch up as been avoiding the thread due to my obscene wine consumption this week . I hope ask the scans come back ok- i find that whenever my ds has a long fit it takes at least a week for his speech and coordination to return to normal (although you probably have more experience than me)

Look after yourself and don't worry about the diet-think of all the nervous energy you are burning off!

[TheHumancatapult]

yeah there scan in 6 weeks but know risks as was over a hour before they could stop it but shall take neuro at his words and ave a dam good holiday


coffee was the wine good shall i budge over for the naughty corner

[coffeewineandchocolate]

Wow! I find 5 mins of fitting hard! You definitely deserve a holiday from the diet. Wine was very good thanks. This well I've very much been in the naughty corner due to dh being at home on a/l. Back on the wagon this week tho so i can fit in my dress for my girls night out on Saturday :-. Have bought a soup flask for work and everything!

Any idea how long your ds will be in hospital? Di you have anyone who can give you a break/bring stuff in for you?

[TheHumancatapult]

were going home later .

Nothing more then can do in here .We have rescue meds to use if goes on more than 5 mins and if they fail second dose while calling 999 and Dr agreed can do that just as easy in skegness as at home and Ds has made it clear how much he wants to go to Butlins so we are going

i know i sound blase but think its as he had so long now its just part of parcel of his extra needs and go with the well were wait and see and deal with stuff as arises.Tend go with the well live today worry tomorrow ( DD has a life limiting medical condition on top of ds needs)

Am going home later to mad pack and sort stuff out and erm eat cake to is suspect
