My sugar strike is going okay. However, it is making me quite conscious of how much salt I'm consuming. It's a bit hard to get the balance right. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking things, as usual. I have got to stop doing that!
Cutting out caffeine is proving difficult. I'm down to one cup of tea a day, but I'm sort of afraid to let go of that one cup! That, and my friend was drinking a Pepsi the other day, and I almost asked for a sip, just because I felt like I could taste it. Slippery slope, though. I probably would have stolen it off her, and drank the whole thing!
I haven't had any grand epiphanies, but I guess I've had a few small ones. Most of them have been about needing to step up and take care of myself. I have pretty rubbish immunity. It's nothing to do with the treatment I had, as radioiodine does not affect the white cell count. That means that there's steps I need to be taking to improve my immunity, which means stocking up on vitamins and such!
I am feeling quite reflective, as I do when we move into a new season. When I think about this summer, it has sort of been a blur of waiting rooms, scans, and blood tests. That gets me down, till I remember that I still had some good times, including my Italian adventure! Also, compared to last summer there was minimal vomiting, which is always a result!
Even though I am still fighting fatigue (no idea if that will ever stop being a problem) and even though I still don't know whether or not I'll need to go back into hospital, I'm trying my hardest to not let it stop me doing stuff. There's quite a few things happening over the next few weeks, and I'm hoping I can do as much as possible!
