A medical update

MrFF is still not restored to full health.  After 10 days he made a sexiness visit to our surgery to see a different doctor.  This one gave him a thorough examination, said an X-ray was unnecessary and out MrFF back on a mild dose of laxative. Now almost 3 weeks since this started he is still eating only small amounts of food but thinks his digestive system is almost back to normal.   He has lost 1.5 stone, 9.5 kilos, but oddly nothing from his abdomen.

Last weekend he reported that he was feeling well enough to attend one of his walking groups Christmas lunch but not take part in the walk beforehand.  Against by advice he went off to Leeds on the train  he gave away most of his meal.  Bck home he complained that he felt cold at the lunch which was held in a conservatory with blankets provided and that the trains were over crowded.  That was Saturday,  by Monday he had the most awful cold and was back in bed for two days.  Obviously being ill has compromised his immune system, he should have stayed at home.

Wednesday by brother and sister in law came to stay for a couple of days and MrFF rallied enough to be sociable while keeping his distance. Since we were having guests I decided to put the Christmas tree up earlier than normal and I wrapped all the presents that were cluttering the spare bedroom.  That felt like progress. 

MrFF stayed home when I took my family on my usual 6 mile walk on a beautiful sunny and almost warm day.  We saw Bertie the alpaca who came running to greet us, he is such a beautiful creature

Today MrFF has again taken the train this time to Bradford as he needs some connection for his new computer.  I did mention what happened last week, apparently the trains he is using wont be overcrowded and he won’t pick up anything because he’s already got cold.  It’s impossible to tell a Yorkshire man anything. 

I don’t usual post photos of myself but my SinL took such a nice photo of me with my brother that captures if the beauty of my walk that I’ll make an exception.
