I'm back - Day 117


I got back this morning, and had an Alizonne session this evening.

I am absolutely delighted to say that my parents are going to be ok, although their recovery will be slow. Mum will be discharged in the next week or two, but will then be in a wheelchair for a further three months before progressing to a walker because of her leg operations.

Dad is still in ICU but is now fully out of the induced coma, and getting stronger every day. He is being dialysed for his kidneys, which have weakened as a result of the accident, and we don't know yet whether this is a short- or long term requirement; but he has no brain damage or paralysis - thank God.

Money is going to be tight for a while so my plan is still to reduce treatments down to every fortnight, and given where I am now this should help take me the rest of the way there.

Now for weight updates:

Current weight - 84.7kg (3.6kg loss in 3 weeks) - 25.2kg total lost to date
Weight in stone - 13st4lbs - 4st exactly lost to date, or 55.6lbs

While I was away I even had to give up on 2 of my pairs of jeans and buy some new ones - in a Size 14!! I've never been a Size 14 before ;)

I also bought a lovely pair of Size 12 jeans, which I can do up at the button, I just can't get the zip up yet.

1.7kg to go to the end of Phase 2, with a bit of luck maybe next week I'll hit it
