No post yesterday as it was utterly bonkers! I had a WA nutritionist consultation for Pip in the morning, an outside visit from a friend in the afternoon and a diabetes appointment with Ben later on that day. I was completely wired and wiped out by the end of the day. The nutritionist chat went really well and thanks to all my efforts Pip's gut score and overall gut ecology is really good. It looks like one of her recent blood tests has flagged up a hormone problem so with a few tweaks to her diet and additional supplementation I'm hopeful we can make good progress. Pip has a follow up appointment with our GP on the 23rd (her birthday) but Dr Morgan is really lovely, so I'm sure it will work out fine 😊
This afternoon as planned we joined in with other fellow 'spoonies' and enjoyed just over an hour of pure escapism watching the film 'Elf.' I very rarely get chance to sit down and watch a film at Christmas time because of being on kitchen duty, it was just the thing to sit down and physically 'slonk on the sofa' as my dear friend Ros says ❤️. We were all set for watching at 2pm and the first few minutes looked promising and then the dialogue switched between Hindi, Polish and Spanish, so much for the free viewing 😂. Needless to say it required a download from that big online store - better late than never!
St Lucia almond and spiced biscuit.
Yes she did! Two for her and the remaining two for Dad ❤️

How is Ben doing with his diabetes? What a lovely picture of Dave! What is a WA nutritionist? I have never watched "Elf".
Ben is working hard trying to manage all of his diabetes care independently, it’s not easy for him but he’s making good progress. Sorry for the confusion the WA stands for What’s App! She is based in Sussex so we always have a video chat 🙂. I’m really pleased with the photo of Dave ❤️
It's so good to work with a nutritionist. Is that covered under your National program? Kudos to you for keeping her gut health good. Not always easily done. Morgana remembers going through the GAPS start up diet with me. She was glad to do it and it helped. She has to be careful now with citrus oil. She can handle juice, but not the oil in the skin. She always has to ask when eating out and people don't always understand. Anyway, here's to you and Pip and I hope things stabilize . . and good luck to Ben too, monitoring his care. Sometimes we start out well, but then can tire of maintaining the momentum . . so here's to maintaining the pace, or jumping back in after holiday treats!
Greg watched Elf on the plane and really enjoyed it.
