Monday, Monday...

Today has been extremely busy and tomorrow will be too! But the rest of the week should be more calm and give me time for painting.
Today I went to see the "Breathing" consultant.. Had a chest X-ray and was told I would be sent an appointment to have a base-line strength of my muscles test.ie. those muscles that control my breathing. My breathing is ok now, but inevitably  the muscles will deteriorate. 


Generally when you exercise  , muscles get stronger... when you have MND , the more you you use muscles the weaker they get, so that's why fatigue must be avoided.. Chest muscles deteriorate (but aren't yet) , as my leg muscles are doing.


Enough of factual medical bits for now... after all this I went to collect my new reading glasses... bright blue with lime green.. and chose the frame for my varifocals. I have gone back to rimless, the bridge over the nose is pale pink, as are the sides, so a good days work.
I'm shattered. Rebecca was looking out for my return tonight, carried my parcels in and made me a cup of tea... even so it was an hour before I had the energy to take my coat off!!


Mustn't eat or drink any more tonight, the delights of fasting blood test in the morning . Off to the Hippodrome to put up my exhibition: Is Anyone Perfect. It will be in the foyer during the run of the play Nobody's Perfect, which opens on Wednesday, through to Saturday. 


HUG ME, I'VE GOT MND
