A chilled day

I’ve had a good start to the bank holiday weekend; I have mostly chilled today, played a couple of games, watched some YouTube videos, but I’ve also done some washing and cleaned the kitchen a little (our kitchen is tiny so it doesn’t take very long), so I’ve been productive without over-doing it. I was going make cupcakes this afternoon but I realised we don’t have anywhere to store them so I’ll leave them to another day.

Me and my fiance are going out with his parents this evening for a meal and to see Reginald D Hunter which I’m really looking forward. Not just because I like RDH, but also because this is the sort of thing we used to do before my health took a nose-dive; it makes me feel closer to “normal”. Although, I do get the occasional pull or feeling of discomfort in what’s left of my gut if I’m stood or walking for too long, these don’t last and aren’t as common now.

Stoma check went fine. I didn’t realise they change your bag but they have spares at the health centre. The nurse said my stoma looks healthy and I’m doing all the right things at the moment (eating the right stuff and drinking plenty). My next check up is in two weeks and, provided all’s ok then, I’ll have a check up every month.

Also, I’m having my stitches removed tomorrow morning. I’ll probably be a little soar after so I don’t think I’ll be doing much. I’m having a friend over for a bit later in the afternoon but that’s about all I’ve got planned.
