Merry Christmas

Hi

Just wanted to come on and wish all my family and friends a very merry christmas and the best of health for 2012.

It has been a mixed week - for me - of unknown illness - possibly viral type infection, or UTI, or both. All I know is I could not get out of bed on Tuesday, even had to call doc in (which is not like me), spent Wednesday in bed too, although sitting up some of the time, and apart from nipping to asda yesterday (which was very hard work), have been resting up.

Christmas Day is tomorrow, and altho I feel better, I am still running on about 75% capacity. Have eaten very little, but still gonna cook for dad and Suzie tomorrow and will try to eat myself.

On the plus side, my New Year diet has been kick started early and I have lost 6 1/2 pounds in about 5 days!! Well needed - but not like that!!! I really did feel bloody awful.

Dad was back in hossie too after having a fall at home, and then getting chest pain - but that was caused by bruised ribs. Its sad, but he is ageing quite quickly now I feel, and I know he worries about me, but sad to see him ageing so quickly all of a sudden to me.

Having a surprise at the sheltered housing on 30th for his 70th birthday, so he had better bloody behave himself and stay out of hospital, which he aint been doing a good job of this last 6 weeks or so.

Anyway, enough of that for now.
Who would have thought I would still be here - I am very very grateful for that.......so heres to another christmas with my family, and seeing my friends over the festive season.

Much Love and Health to all
Me
