Saw the Doctor today....

Had my doctors appointment this afternoon.

Blood sugar levels/control - good.

Oxygen sats - good

Blood pressure - good

Cholesterol - slightly high but nowt to worry about

He’s happy with my inhaler technique.

Weight - excellent (for me). Six months ago I was 118 something kgs. Or 18.5 stone. Today I weighed in at 108.2 kgs. Or 17.03 stone.

In six months, I’ve lost 1 and a half stone. I’m amazed. Even a little shocked! I haven’t been 17 stone in I don’t know how long.

Wow.

Oh, and he’s going to refer me for more Pulmonary Rehab. So yeah. A good day!

Thanks Katie :) they are good, and the weight loss was totally unexpected, because I wasn’t actively trying! Just change of diet slightly and a bit more walking (when my lungs allowed). Think I’ll keep doing that lol
