1/31/2017 6:02:47 PM | Time is passing very quickly now for me and so soon its another month gone and am now at the end of my 17th month. After Christmas I had a cold and chest infection which is the worst I have had for about ten years. I know its a good sign that my immune system is improving but I did feel ill and was just about to go to the doctor for antibiotics when Mel advised two days in bed, complete rest and not to go out at all. It was a chaotic two days of our boiler being changed and as the hot water tanks are in my bedroom it meant people coming and going through the day. I refused to budge though and let the rest of the household cope with everything (a new experience for me, usually the one who keeps going whatever I feel like). At the end of the two days I knew I had started to get better and cancelled all work commitments the following week (again something I have never done before). It was a good lesson for me to learn, that rest really does allow our bodies to heal. Symptoms continue at the same level, the occasional small cuts on my hands, tiny black specks I see if I look for them. The red bumps on my chin are gradually going. I've added raw cacao to my diet. It is wonderful! I've made some fairy cakes adding it to the recipe which worked well. I'm only eating very small amounts though. I'll be adding some to my next batch of almond fudge! So far no bad effects from it. Another thing I have enjoyed eating has been some almond and coconut bread from the recipe that Shari put up. Its great with butter and I also made a sort of jam from berries, cooked with stevia. I've put little batches of it in the freezer. Its also nice mixed into natural bio yoghurt. I bought myself some socks last week that were different colours - not just plain white. I'd kept to white socks because my feet had been so badly affected that it felt better but I now feel much more relaxed about my feet. I'm also wearing cloth slippers again if its cold rather than always wearing plastic crocs. I know I can spray them with kleen green every now and then. Its great to go back to what feels more normal and comfortable. Love to all Ruth |
