New Year and Update

Here it is, a new year, I could say that I hope it's better than the last one, but 2012 was ok, ended a bit weird for me but I seem to be on the mend. The last week has been relatively grumble free, maybe the new drugs are having an effect on that, large dose of Zantac twice a day is keeping the doctor away. 

Still missing the curry, not going to chance it for a while, have had a few beers over the Christmas period, but too many, and my stomach seemed to manage them ok. Back to work tomorrow, that should be interesting considering some attitudes towards my absenteeism over the last month and a half, but will probably have to have a chat with some people to set them straight and what I will be capable of for the foreseeable future.

Have started a new photography project via Facebook, to take pictures during the week based upon a single word. Hopefully people will continue to send in suggestions for me to choose from, or allow a certain degree of democracy to choose one for me. Anyway the results of what I manage will be posted here as well, so keep an eye out for them. The words of the week will be in alphabetical order, so obviously I am starting at the beginning with 'A'.

So the word for this week is - Austerity.

Wish me luck ;)

Latest Update

Another visit to the doctors and some good news, my HB (haemoglobin) levels are rising quite nicely, results show they are at a healthier 10.8, still a little to go to the minimum of 13, but it's all looking good. On the drug front, have finished one set of drugs and now on super strength Zantac twice a day for the next 2 months with another lot of iron tablets twice a day. Not sure if I should be singing along to Black Sabbath or telling Mr Downey Jr to move over, for I am Iron Man.

mr downey jr
those black sabbath fellows
Food with still have to be curry and spice free for the time being, and alcohol is kinda off the menu, but the odd one is permissible, looks like it will be Guinness could be making a comeback over Christmas, plus it's full of iron as well. All looks good at the moment, with a return to work looking possible in the new year. Shame, was getting used to doing my own thing every day, despite how skint I am.

off the menu
That concludes this update, thanks again to anyone who has expressed concern over my recent illness, normality will soon return, whatever that maybe as far as I am concerned anyway.

yummy, twice a day
