Yesterday I made beef casserole ( managed to fill the house with smoke) with dumplings ; served it and ate it! Yippee- it was yummy. Food is beginning to taste much better almost like it should. I just need to have a bigger stomach to fit food in as I quickly become full.

Woke this morning to a singing boy - a lovely sound.

Today brings dialysis with 2 friends, one to take me and the other to meet me later and a game of Chinese chequers.

1 week until surgery. I will be glad to have it done.
