I am not sure if I have spelt the name Philomena correctly, but my night out was cancelled by two of my pals. Katy was already on a sleepover, and Martha was in the middle of handover. I decided to make the most of it, and went to see Philomena at the cinema. It was a very good film - I recommend it.
I went for my walk this morning. It rained really hard a couple of times, but generally I was happy to be out and pushing myself.
A shower, and a visit by my community nurse. I am now taking one eighth of a milligram of steroid each day. I realised that I can bite the half tablets into quarters. I know it sounds like I am sharing out sand, but I am hoping I can be steroid free over Christmas. My community nurse wisely advises me that I must follow my body, and it would be no good to be ill over Christmas. Let's wait and see ...
Old hockey pals, Kate Walton and Lizzie Symonds (with baby Martha the second) came to visit. It was great catching up with them. I am still struggling with my memory. They could both remember things we did together, that I have no recollection of. I don't know if this is from the operation, or if it is simply my age. Either way, I have to live with it.
Sleep and collect Martha from school. She is playing the steel pans tomorrow at the Church Christmas Fayre. I have never seen her play. She will go in the morning, with her friend that she is staying with tonight. I will meet them there.
Good night
lots of love
