  • Hi Kath

    Im sitting in the shade with a lovely cool breeze and some weak Vimto. 
    The nights are the worst last night was horrendous. Didn’t matter how much I tried to drink my throat was dry which is not good. 

    I keep like a glass of water in the fridge. That’s lovely especially when it’s hot as I know it’s there chilling and the glass alone keeps me cool  

    I must of managed okay as my output wasn’t too bad this morning. 
    We have to keep our salt levels high too don’t we? 
    it’s going to get hotter they say. 
    Stay cool everyone

  • Oh that’s my excuse too must have a packet of crisps for the salt and some jelly sweets as my stoma needs them and I have to up my sugar. 
    Not too bad having these Ileostomy’s is it?
