back

i haven't been in for a while. i ended up back in hospital on christmas eve and have just arrived home [5th jan 2007], 12kg lighter [fluid loss]. i went in because i could feel another bout of heart failure coming on. saved myself lots of aggravation by going in before it became dangerous. they [the cardio team] became quite serious about sorting out the fluid on my body. hence the 12kg loss. now my clothes are baggy, a nice problem to have. i can also walk without becoming breathless [yes] which allows me to get back to a life.
a huge thanks must go out to the team in ward 26 chch hospital. also, a shout out to amanda [gissy girl] and sue [nurses] who are wonderful. well, time for a ..........

tuesday

the last week's training before the holidays is interesting. i am ready for a break [health wise]. it'll give me more recovery time. the girls have been working [for them] well. it must be difficult to start again. re learning basics can be tough. they have done and are doing well. i have started on the club website. they seriously need one. i was approached by a nurse when i was in hospital who is looking for a club for her daughter. she had googled gymnastics in chch but not found us [no website].
have spent the week feeling off colour. evidently they [the medicos] need to get my meds balanced. this could take a couple of months! bummer.
even my daily walk is now a task. i have to remain dedicated to improvement. small bits at a time.
training again tomorrow..... will start my day with a slow meander.
