Thank you so much for all your good wishes guys, much appreciated. I am not able to have time off work - not only because the week I had off which was just before term time but was a training week, is still a sore point in my dept with my HoD but mainly because I spent the best part of last year setting up an Academy in the college and I fought tooth and nail to set it up and get the funding. I am singularly the only one with the qualifications to teach the courses that I am running, and these folks have paid serious amounts of money to attend. There is no way I will let them, or the college down. Plus, if I take time off, this *thing* becomes ALL of my life and not the irritating part of it that it is.
I am not dieting - never have, just eating when I can and trying to make it healthy (although I must admit that over the last couple of days I have had a bicky with my tea, one piece of toast & marmite, and last week (I teach from 9am to 9pm on a Wed) OH had a Pizza and saved me a slice which I ate..this is not the norm tho'). I always have salad at lunch time and fresh steamed veg at tea time, take my tablets, never eat breakfast (never have all my life and that is not goign to change) and while I CAN eat anything, I still avoid junk food, choccy, crisps, high fats etc. I have managed to gain 2lb this week which just adds to my general feelings of dissatisfaction about the Op. My brand new X-trainer is built and ready and hubby has banned me from going on it - although I believe exercise builds up energy.
Anyway - enough waffle - I appreciate all the concern. I am not poorly poorly, just bluddy exhausted and rather wobbly on my feet with a penchant for passing out (which has been the case since the op). It will get right eventually.
I am goign to catch up on the board now and see what you have all been up to.
