A productive week

After such an awful weekend I've been surprised to find I've had quite a lot of energy this week and felt much better than I have for a while. I've still felt tired and struggled with stomach ache and a headache one morning, but overall I've felt quite good :)

I've taken advantage of the extra energy I've had this week to be productive and have done lots of decluttering, cleaning and tidying of my bedroom. I'm starting to see the results now, so I'm very pleased with that, although I still seem to have quite a lot to do. I've produced lots of stuff that we hope to try to sell at one (or maybe two) carboot sales this summer.

On Tuesday morning I weighed myself and was very pleased to discover that I'd put on half a kilo :D I've got some high calorie drinks to have, but they really fill me up, so if I have one with my breakfast I then find that I don't have enough of an appetite to finish my lunch. I'm going to talk to my dietician and ask her advice.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow because me and my parents are going to be attending the annual small bowel family fun day at Hospital B. Small bowel transplants are still relatively rare, so the hospital organises this annual event to get all the small bowel transplant recipients and their families together. There will be some talks in the morning and then lunch and a party in the afternoon. It'll be lovely to catch up with everyone again and meet some new families too :) It'll be quite an early start though as we'll have to leave here at 8.30am to get to Hospital B for the 10am start. Will report about it later this weekend or early next week.

Then on Sunday I'm hoping to see my nan and on Monday me and my mum are going to visit my best friend Lizzy and her adorable 3 year old daughter. We've not seen Lizzy since September when we celebrated my 18th birthday together and we've not seen her daughter since last summer, so I'm really excited about it :D
