[[ 07 April 2008 ]]

Life is a bit sad this week. Feel like everything that could have gone wrong, has. That aside, I haven't been feeling my best. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow, just hope the doctor says nothing is 'wrong'. We will see.

Training, this week has been alright.
[[ 02 April ]] Me and Paula did a 2 and a bit miles walk. Just to get us going. We made ourselves, even though the weather was rubbish!
[[ 03 April ]] It was a day off work for me, so in the morning we got a bus half way into the town center. We walked 1 mile to this Fancy Dress shop that Paula wanted. We then walked up into town at least 2 miles. Then walked around town for a bit and came home on the bus. It was funny.. We almost got lost.

That has been the only walking I've done really. Except around work and walking home.

[[ 06 April ]] We were going to go for our walk along the canel.. BUT this is what we woke up to:

It was 4inches... but i took the photos a bit late in the day

As you can see, it really wouldn't have been safe walking on snow/sludge.
3rd Time lucky maybe..

Sarah came over, she bought her 'distance pedometer thing' .. but because of the weather we couldn't really try it. I hope she brings it next week.

TODAY
Ok.. I got up today, felt alright. I had my cuppa tea and cereal bar, and headed to work. It got to 10am, and I began to felt weird. I hadn't been to the loo, so I think that was the main part of it.
I managed to get myself through the next 3 hours. Finally 1am I got home, the sunshine that came out for a few moments made me feel a lot better and I used the loo...

It took me a while to realise there was a HUGE PARCEL on the side.. It was for... ME!!

*GRINNNNNSSSSSSSSSS*

SOOOOOO Now, I am very excited! We recived a bunch of sponcer forms, some leaflets on Crohns and 4 t-shirts. They are for myself, Shaun, Colin and Rachel.
We are going to make the kid's theirs. IF Sarah does get sponcered she has one already from before.

ON a happy note. At least for this moment....

Have a Disney day,

Hospital..
Got there within 15minutes - shocking. We got a parking space, just... someone was going as we came in.
Went to the loo - i was busting hehe. Signed in. Sat down.
30seconds later... "Ruth"
The place was packed out. I think the other doctors were running very late.

Soooo.. we talked, he looked.. and came up with:
Doctor: "There seems to be a slight infection coming. As it's not bothering you too much I think we will leave it. If it gets worse or you feel worse ring [insert receptionists name] and get an emergency."
Me: "Ok.."
Doctor: "So see you in 3months, and not before hopfully!"

Basically, an infection is either there from before, or it's starting up again.. On the wounds that I had from before. IF it gets worse I will have to have it all drained and stuff again - yes, not very nice to read or to think about but... Please keep your fingers crossed that it goes away on it's own accord..
Not sure how I'm feeling about it all. Trying not to think about it.
I came home and went for a 3.8mile walk. 47minutes..
Paula was annoying me and trying to make me laugh..

I did buy a cool Pixar colouring book from the hospital shop though - haha..

I made this:

buying my new camcorder

[[ 09 April ]] Been trying to keep my mind off the whole infection thing. I HATE HOSPITALS!
It was lovely, and sweet... I can out of work to find a Paula, a mum and a Bethany sat on the bench. Made my day all smiley, walking home with Bethany, me and her shared a cone of chips - yum yum.
My gosh, Niccy over on DisneyDreams started a trend, THANK YOU Niccy, Gabby, Cammy, Alex.. for giving my nice messages and support in their signatures on the forum. WOW, Gabby also made me some supportive Signs.

They are lovely over on that board. Total Sweethearts!! Thank you!

[[ 10 April ]] Was a bit odd, gettinging up I almost forgot I had work. I dragged myself out of bed. I walked to work in 12minutes - 1.5miles After a cultural day of work. Paula didn't feel like walking, so instead I went with Rachel and all the kids.
We did a 4 miles with Bethany stuggling at the end, we had to go very slow and so it was about 50minutes by the time we got back. It was just fun to go out.. even if it did rain slightly.. Bethany was jogging a lot of the time, and Laura tried, but didn't go too much. They both completed their 'marathon' training though hehe. Laura with her few hundred yards and Bethany with her 3.2 miles. They were proud of themselves.
Those guys are WAY TOO excited.. and there's still 9 months to go hehe.
After our 'training' we spoke of Disney, Walt Disney World. Me and the girls made lists of the cool things we wanted to do when we are there.
[[ 11 April ]] It would have been my Granny's birthday today (R.I.P). I had to work. It was extremly hectic, the jobs and the people. I think that was good, kept my mind busy. I came back from work to find BLT and Rachel round. We kept mum occupied.
Laura.... bought her WDW Maps around "Just incase". They REALLY are WAY too excited. I was ment to go to the bank, but Laura decided it was more important for me to make Lists. We went through all the maps, writing down everything and who wanted to do it. Of coarse the whole list is covered with B and L - even though they probably won't be able to go on them hehehehe... they are MADDDDDD hatters!
I was showing them the WDW Autograph site [ !!VISIT!! ], it's a great site, and BEN is a cuteypie!!! Anyways, The girls were saying the names of each character as I went through...
Laura "It's Esmerelda.."
Thomas *gasp*, "Yes Yes, Esmerelda"
It was so cute, he said this for every character, as if he knew.. He did know some of them, Lightning McQueen, Mickey etc. We got to Dopey, and the girls all pointed to Grampy saying "It's your favourite!!!!"..
So they brightened up all of our days.
We even had hot dogs - we are in training for our foot long dogs. hehe
I don't know id I should be planning too much really... but the infection, to me, doesn't seem too bad over the weekend.

"KEEP MOVING FORWARD!"
To Gabby, Beccy and their families, Be Strong! All my thoughts and love for you and your families.

Have a Disney day,

wishing making choices was easy

HEADACHE! - yuk yuk. I was at work this morning, and suddenly had blurry eyes. An hour later it turned into a headache.
Went for a 4mile walk with Rachel and T.

4 miles - 44minutes

It was Sweltering hot out today. I wore my sunglasses, but don't think it helped much.
This is me after we got home:

ALL WORN OUT.. and looking red in the cheeks LOL..

My mum was looking after the other kids, so after the walk they wanted me to facepaint for them.
I wasn't really trying, and not happy with how they turned out.. The two girls also decided to paint my face... Can you tell who we are? hehehe

Yup, Tigger, Pooh and Piglet..
AGHH go away headache!!!
Have a Disney day,
