My current weight is 16st 5lbs so I have lost 28 lbs since starting the blog but that is not really very good but better than putting weight on I guess.
I am looking forward to Christmas although my husband lost his job at the end of September, he has a little bit of work here and there - just enough to keep us ticking over but not brilliant.
I had a little money saved for my trip back to USA to visit my auntie again in the Summer of 2011 but I think that will be blown on Christmas. My children have grown up and flown the nest but I do have my 16year old grandson living with me. He is a good kid. I have four grandchildren altogether with another one on the way (due Jan 13th). So Christmas is an expensive time of year but they are good enough to realise that we do not have the finance this year to give them the type of presents we would normally buy.
I put all my Christmas decorations up before I went into hospital as I did not know how I was going to feel after so at least that was out of the way early. I had my operation on 1st December. The doc had arranged some routine checks - I had no symptoms of anything so when they found this 'mass' the size of an orange in my womb I was completely shocked. Well, they decided to remove other things while they were in there (fibroids and polyps) but by the time they got round to tackling the tumour which I had gone into hospital for, I had started to absorb the fluid they pump into you and it was too dangerous to proceed so they only have enough of the tumour to analyze, they have not removed the thing. So if it turns out to be benign they are just going to leave it where it is and if it is something more sinister I have to have a hysterectomy. Now I am waiting to hear whether I have to have another operation. I am not happy. I hope they tell me it is nothing to worry about then I can have a nice Christmas. Oh. Well. I will write again in about a month and I hope I have lost some more weight. xx
