It seems I'm a patient now!

Watching part 2 of the Proms, listened to part 1 on radio 3. The very first piece, ‘Serenade to Music’ by RV-W moved me to tears as I’ve sung it in a chamber choir when we all took turns at doing the snatches of solo.

I’m wrung out! I’ve missed music so much but it’s made me incredibly tearful. So amazing to watch a real life performance, even though on tv.

Those tears must have been what was needed, we both had a better night, and now that hubs is off the Axitinib his blood pressure is improving too.

He hasn’t eaten lunch except for some ginger biscuits and a glass of full fat milk, but did have breakfast and, I hope, will eat a small-ish dinner. He’s beginning to take notice in stuff again, though, has been watching tv. 

Me? I’ve finished the white woodwork in the kitchen, it didn’t need a full redecorate, just some touching up on some of the walls (we had a third of a tin of the biscuit colour) and the woodwork doing. I HATED the kitchen through to dining area door as it is small glass panels, so tackled that first off. Just finished the back door to garden room, phew! I’m no decorator but it’s clean and fairly neat.

Good to hear that you both had a better night moomy. Sounds as if you have been busy with the paintbrush again. Right , now time to put your feet up for a bit and enjoy some happy time  and make good memories. Sending more hugs Kwissy xxx

Still can’t get hubs  onto 3 meals a day, but he had some biscuits and a glass of full fat milk at lunchtime, so that’s a wee bit better. And he’s enjoyed some tv, mostly industrial historical programmes.

Try not to get hung up on 3 means a day.  I've only eaten 2 for years.  I know he has to manage blood sugar but in his twilight years let him eat & snack.  Less stress for you and less pressure for him too please you by eating.  When my sister recovering from surgery for brain tumour her family keen to get her showered each morning.  She did it to please them to pretend everything was ok.  I said to leave it as it was stressing everyone.  Every other day was more than enough as we grew up with weekly baths .  

I’m not stressing too much but seeing him lose weight is distressing. But then he doesn’t do much so is not expending much energy….I’m certainly not saying much about it. He went ‘oh’ when I put dinner in front of him but ate the lot, a bit less than my portion but not a lot.

That’s good, he is eating so that’s something, really hope you get a good night under your belt x

We had a good night (I think!) but he’s full of grumbles this morning (which is probably good!) 

blood pressure is a bit up but not a lot….
