Yes, it is a miracle. And I don't mean getting home after our flight from Heathrow was cancelled (in the end the journey was very smooth with no more surprises), and I don't mean that Bella walks to heel (courtesy of Ellie's training), nor do I mean the house being clean (again mostly down to Ellie) but rather the fact that I didn't put any weight on during my holidays! Not a single pound 🎉. It's the first time in my life. And I'm delighted and gob-smacked all at the same time!
Now I'm home I'm hoping the weight will start to fall off again. Just back to my usual eating and (soon to start) walking. Unfortunately, I've returned home with a strange pain in my left leg. I don't think it's muscle damage but it's more inside the leg like the bone. And as I typed that I suddenly thought 'DVT?'. So I've spoken to NHS 24 and they have referred it to NHS Grampian. Waiting on a call back so I'll update you later.
Well that didn't take long, just thinking what to write next and they rang. Going to the local community hospital in 40 mins. Great service NHS!
So it's now 10pm Thursday night. At first the Dr didn't think it was but did a blood test anyway, which came back positive. So first thing in the morning I'm off to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a scan. Ooh my. I'm so annoyed because I had flight socks with me and forgot to put them on. And I'm normally good at wiggling my feet. Anyway, if I have I have, can't be helped. And I just booked my next holiday about 9 hours ago!! Ahhhh
And yes, the most exciting photo since I got home was the community hospital waiting room (all alone).
Sometimes you don't feel the weight of what you're carrying until you feel it's release.
