Been counting pills today...
There are sooo not enough steroid pills to fulfill the prescription here. I'm nearly out, and I haven't finished the 60mg per day portion, let alone the climb-down to 40mg and then 20mg. Will of course be seeing the Practice Manager on Tuesday, so am going to continue with what I have at least till then.
Another thing that is either a concern or a bright spot is that I have a feeling my GP has also taken me off the Xenical, because of course at my last diabetic review I'd put on a couple of stone over the course of the year, and there's a general requirement for you to have lost a certain percentage of your bodyweight to be allowed to have them. So I'm running out of those too - in about a week or so, I'll probably be out. That'll mean I'm down to just two pills a day, and those are for diabetic control. We'll see what effect that has on the weightloss of course.
Today was fairly straightforward - walked the Trail this morning, though with less vigour than the last couple of days; got into a Beatles loop, which frankly doesn't work with one working ear. Worked well and hard all day, including an hour at lunch to continue, and nearly finish, the office organisation. Managed to grab a quick half hour of butt-screaming biking before choir, and in terms on intake, today, had my normal cereal breakfast - three Weetabix and a banana, in case any calorie-junkies actually wanna know what I mean when I say that - and some cheese on toast for an early dinner. And that's it. May grab a coffee before going to bed, but it's hardly a heavy day.
Tomorrow, more of the same, I think, but instead of choir, a sad visit to a hospice to see a friend of the family, who's been given just days to live.
Which, if nothing else, puts any given sub-set of problems right the hell into perspective, no.
