Oooh @Shaz51 I hope it goes well. What time is the appt?

It's really quiet today in my house. My husband has gone to the snow for a few days to hang out with my son. He usually puts the tv on in the morning before work and I always forget to turn it off and it just sort is there in the background. I never do it so it's super quiet. I kind of like quiet and just hearing the birds outside. It's a nice change.

Hello @Blackbird11 , @Streetspirit , @hanami

Home again now

Visited my mum in hospital

The specialist said I need a dietician now to get a few things under control

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Hey @Shaz51

How was your mum? Do you think the dietary changes will be easy enough to implement? Any food changes are hard for me, purely for the reason that I'm a bit fussy! I hope your changes aren't too hard.

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

The medical team don't think it will help much @hanami ,as it is caused mostly by the kidney disease where the kidney filter is broken and all the toxic goes around in the body causing other problems

I have a fairly good diet, soo have to add more drinking water and regular check ups
