Feeling better

[Valentina98]

Hi everyone,

I don't really have a question, I just wanted to say thank you for all your lovely support and messages yesterday and today.

Although it's still a shock, I'm feeling better about the future. I always thought I was a healthy, apart from a bit overweight and asthmatic, I started couch to 5k a couple of months ago and I've been regularly doing a 5k as well as being on slimming world.

I'm a history teacher in a busy secondary school so as much as I try to not to get stressed its not easy.

My Mum is Spanish and she's very domineering and she drives me crazy, and currently treating me like a child (kinda enjoying it at the moment) she's looked up loads of recipes and although its her birthday today she's batch cooking me loads of meals.

I've got an appointment with the cardiac rehabilitation team Thursday where I'll ask about when I can start running again. (I know it will take time) and an appointment tomorrow with my cardiologist, where I will make sure I ask lots of questions

Sorry for rambling on

that’s a nice touch, well done.

I didn’t reply to your post because I didn’t think I could add much.

Just carry on carrying on, listen to all the information at rehab and go steady.

I have asthma, but I take revlar, a powder inhaler, now virtually zero asthma attacks.

Hello

Clever young lady teaching History even though I can imagine stressful but maybe your School will support you knowing what you have been through in helping ease that stress , I hope so

What can I say , your Mum might be domineering but I think Mums are and if you do not want those meals I will take them of your hands

Seriously I know it will fee annoying at times but enjoy it just smile to yourself , I lost my Mum some years ago and no matter what you miss them and their meals

You are doing really well x

Thank you BeKind

My Dad was a history teacher and I copied him, I was a Daddies girl. Me and Mum haven't always gotten on. I lost my Dad a few years ago so I became closer to Mum despite her driving me mad I do love her.

I got a big bunch of flowers from the school today.

Hello

I am sorry about your loss and can only imagine how that must have affected you

That must have made you feel special getting the flowers from School but much deserved

If your Mum stopped driving you and you never know you might miss it

She loves you to just her personality and she wants to keep you well and safe

Have a lovely evening x

If your rehab team is anything like mine, they are a great help on all sides, looking at diet, meds and mental problems as well as exercise.

If your mum is getting to be too much, send her up to Newcastle. I love Spanish food!

Hi Rufus

I hope they good. I'm sure they will be.

Ha ha she'd love to cook for everyone if you let her (I was born in Newcastle, I'm a bit of a mixed breed. Mum's Spanish, Dad's Scottish, I was born in Newcastle and now live in Oxford)

Can you make paella with haggis? Fusion culture at its best!😀

[Valentina98 in reply to RufusScamp]

Mum would never eat Haggis (I'm not the biggest fan) so she'd turn her nose up at that combination. I guess its possible to mix them.

Ha ha no way.

I'm never doing the London Marathon, I think maybe a half but never a full Marathon

[Valentina98]

I've entered a 10k and half thought about a half but never a full
