There is jubilation in the Pub.
PD went to the hospital yesterday. For the first time in a long while he has had positive news. He's lost a good stone in the last 3 months, two & a half inches off around his neck. Now he's been set the challenge of losing a further stone in the next 6 months. They're allowing him a longer period so he can indulge a bit over Christmas.
And how's this been achieved? Partially it's that he's learnt to love vegetables & fruit. Personally we can't cope without regularly vegetables. We still shudder when we remember a weekend break we had on the banks of Ullswater, when we had one mushroom each for the whole weekend.
He's also been doing a lot more exercise. The last month or so he's been doing a couple of gym sessions a week under medical supervision. All the sweat & aches are paying off.
His relief is palpable. He had begun to suspect he may have lost weight lost month. It was his birthday & he was thrilled to find some of the clothes the family had bought him as presents were too big. Now it's been confirmed.
We have been saying for a while he seems to be standing better, moving easier, less breathless than he was.
Now all has been confirmed at the hospital. And he's jubilant. He went off to the gym after the hospital & before the Pub with a will & full of determination. Long may it continue.
Now we wait to see if the Fox can get as positive a result when he goes to the hospital on Friday for the results of his MRI scan on his hearing.
