Feeling fine. Went past afternoon snack time without noticing – not hungry until nearly time to start dinner – but as I still had the walk to do I had a snack then. My feet were hurting before I started the walk. I think that’s because I took my sandals (and orthotics) off to clean the bathrooms. I am sooo looking forward to being able to bend over and pick something up, or clean the bath, without thinking I’d better get back up again pretty quick before my stomach pushes too hard on my aorta and pops it! (Well, looking forward to it, is probably putting it a bit strongly at this stage – but I do dream!!) I still remember walking down the hospital passage, for the first time after my son was born and finding that amazingly, instantly, I no longer felt puffed when I walked. It won’t be instant this time. Hmmm. My time frame is about the same as for having a baby!! (From scratch that is – about the same size stomach too.)
Anyway, back to the walk, I extended it a bit and that was fine. With having started to feel hungry, and aching feet, it did feel that it took a bit more effort than normal, but I don’t think going that little bit further is an issue. I just need to try to do it earlier so I have enough time to do more. Wearing my joggers instead of sandals feels good. I will have to try it more often, despite the threat to my aorta involved in bending down long enough to tie my shoelaces!
I’ve drunk quite a lot of water, but I had to think about it today. Yesterday was much hotter and I was pretty keen to have it. I say this because for the past few years, every summer I have noticed myself drinking a lot more and wondered about diabetes, and then thought “Oh but it’s hot…”

AAAgh. I just posted 11:00 bed time and went into the bedroom and the clock says 12:00 - but I remember changing the time on the computer for daylight saving because my daughter was watching...........and I tried really hard to change it on the websites and it just won't go to the right hour there, so they don't tell me the right time....and it's not my fault.
Boo Hoo.
