So it has been a long time I last posted a diary entry and I must admit I am feeling a bit rusty at doing this. So since the last time I wrote which was the 7th October my health has got worse I have been battling with dehyration, sickness, pain and I have lost a good amount of weight, 10kg since the middle of June. I glad to be able to say that I am getting an oesophageal dilation done this Friday, so hopefully after this dilation I should be able to eat and drink which means that I should not have to keep battling with dehydration and weight.

These past for weeks have been really difficult for me, I haven’t been able to go out the house, I have missed two of evening classes and I was unable to go anywhere with my auntie when she came to stay for the weekend. All in all I will be glad when this is over done with and I can go back to having some sort of normal life.

So yesterday I got my oesophageal stricture dilated and I am very pleased to say that it went very well, it was a bit painfully and I did have to have morphine afterwards but it was well worth the pain. So yesterday I wasn’t able to drink to drink until 10pm because you are not able to drink for four hours but i did manage to drink a 500ml bottle of juice before I went to sleep, it was so nice to be able to drink without having to take really tiny sips.

Today I got up really early and that’s not normally like me but I couldn’t wait to be able to eat, unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with breakfast. :-( I asked for porridge like I normally do because normally it doesn’t taste that bad but this morning it was so disgusting. Luckily my mum had brought in a couple of cakes and packets of crisps the previous night so I just ate them through the morning. For my lunch I had a very weird combination, baked potato with cheese and chips with gravy but that’s one of the good things about have nutrition issues, you are aloud to order whatever you want.

So after lunch I was allowed to go home and when I got home I had Honey and Mustard Chicken pasta pot and then went to bed and slept for most of the night.

Well today has been an okay day, I have feeling really sleepy but I supose that is no suprise because my body has been through so much the past month. I did okay with my eating today, I didn’t have breakfast today which was very naughty of me but I didn’t want to have my breakfast at 12pm. I had pasta again today because it is the only thing I want to eat, I normally only want to eat things like Pot Noodles and cakes but this time round I craving pasta so much.

The only other thing that I did today was watch the final 3 rounds of the British Touring Cars and I am so happy that my favourite driver Gordon Sheddon the championship this year, he deserved to win it so much.
