Thankful for new days. Yesterday evening I was exhausted and all my joints ached. I think this is a sign that I have done too much. I am trying to fit so much more into my days and I think that my body is not quite ready for all the activity! I will have to put more rest into my agenda! However my house is looking tidier and my ironing cupboard is no longer vomiting! My washing is nearly caught up for the first time in ages. And we have had yummy new recipes each day for tea. Life is good.

Yesterday I stared the day with a blood count. I arrived just after 8 and they had already seen 47 patients since 7.30 - wow! They are very efficient and have now managed to take my blood from my arm using very tiny needles 2 weeks in a row - first time. I am very grateful for their expert ease as I hate being a pin cushion! I go this afternoon to the kidney clinic for the first time and hopefully we make a new plan. I am also seeing the dietician at last and hope that the plan from her is slightly less strict than I have so far set it. I have cheated occasionally with a couple of things but not many. I so love a plan!!!

Tomorrow I see the rheumatologist which will be good. He always makes me feel better - even when I didn't even know I felt unwell!!! He is so positive. He will be delighted to hear that my kidneys are recovering. He loves plans too!

I am looking forward to seeing Kit today and catching up on all her holiday news and house news. It will be so nice to chat with her - not on dialysis.
