Louis turns one... nausea... back to work...

Hurrah for instant news!!
Louis' 1st Birthday is almost ancient history now. Our halloween baby chalked up his first year in typically relaxed fashion. He now bum-shuffles in circles as if nailed to the spot, which OF COURSE he isn't.

My "good" days are starting to out-number the ones where i feel nauseous. I'm really grateful for this. My next and final meeting with the consultant is on the 26th and i hope he'll be encouraged by my progress. It will seem strange to move off his current case-load. Does this mean i'm in remission or is it the all-clear?? We'll see.
Anyway, as far as the nausea is concerned, i'm hoping that as my gut fine-tunes itself further, it will give me a bit more slack regarding when and what i eat. At the moment, i try to stick to my 7am - 10 - 1 - 4- 7pm (i'm down to 5 meals a day!) mealtimes to avoid "going off" as i tend to describe it. Otherwise its onwards and upwards!

And as of this week, i'm phasing myself back into the office. At present, i'm doing the equivalent of 3 mornings, but it'll take a while to build up the reserves required to tackle a whole week at work.

Sitting at my desk again after 6 months is as surreal as... anything.

    Good luck with your return to work. Must be very surreal.

  2. Wow! I have been wondering from time to time about when you could consider returning to work. Brilliant that you are already managing a few mornings.
    Keep up the blog - it's great.
    Much affection - and a great God.
