I have giants in my garden.

Atlast my flowers are putting on a spectacular show, but a couple of giants are stealing the lime light,





They are as high as our bungalow roof.




A few borders, I have been tinkering with, and even when I became very ill last week, I STILL got so much joy from them. The giants make you look up to Heaven and I thank God for every creation.


Look what my wonderful husband built, the fountain is solar run. I just love the sound of running water. He palnted smalle heathers inbetween the smaller cobbles.

MS update and treatment.

I went to my neurologist today. He is a pleasure to see even if he is always running late, as he is so passionate about his work.
I am currently going throught a relapse and have lost strength and sensation in my right hand side.
I start a three day course of IV steroids on tuesday.
I tend to react well to them and it improves my health very quickly. All other courses of treatments are just too risky at moment as one of them is a mild chemotherapy drug which has a 1 in 100 chance of getting a blood disease in the furture. There are a lot of new medications that should be ready for public use very soon. So I am waiting for that to happen.

Weight loss update.....

Well I have had a testing week with health issues and to be honest I struggled to stay on plan, but I managed to loose 2 1/2 lbs this week. Totalling 10 1/2 lbs so far. This completely amazed me.

Better be focused this week as I don't think I would get away with it 2 weeks in a row.

Feeling out of sorts.

Oh well it had to happen. I have had a long run of of relatively good health.

I am loosing sensation in my right side. I am dragging my right foot a little and my right hand is so weak I can do only a few things with it.
And the exhaustion is so frustrating, I do something and then I am wiped out.

I see my neurologist next week anyway so I have not made and appointment for my new symptoms.

The Lord will sustain me no matter what. Thankyou Lord for being with me, even though I fail you so often you never fail me. What a Mighty God I have.

Sunshine .

Well the past few days have been hot hot hot! I cannot remember such warmth in the month of May.
We have fans in most rooms to keep air ciculating.
The pool is up and filled and Its just what is needed on a hot sunny day.

The flowers are growing like mad and the colours of some of the flowers have been a surprise to me as I thought I had planted purple ones and they are bright pink! Everywhere I am looking something new is peeking through.
Makes you marvel at Gods creation.



Mind you one of Gods not so little creations gave me a fright the other day. A spider the size of my hand came to visit me..Shudders! This is the little fellow after my husband caught him and took him outside.



I am still awaiting MRI results, I have an appointment with my neurologist mid June to discusss treament.

Weight loss update 2

Well I lost another 1 1/2 lbs this week so a total of 5 1/2 lbs loss so far.
It seems to go on so quickly and takes so much longer to come off lol!
