Well things are moving forward quite a bit since last I wrote.  This is good news for me…forward momentum at last…

I am still on meds (1 a day with an impending breath test next week to see how I am going with depleting my stomach of the acid that is eating away at the lining)… yuck.

My bday was lovely…a picnic at New Farm Park, music at Powerhouse, Dinner at Vietnamese… lots of lovely old friends came along and family… just what I needed…

I made banana lounges… they went down a treat… try them for your next bday…  here is the recipe…

* Banana Bread or Date Loaf or Carrot Cake etc…

* Slice

* Add Icing (I used Betty Crocker’s Vanilla Icing/Frosting… the best)

* Cut a Sour Strap (I used strawberry) and fashion it to look like a little towel - place on top of icing

* Place Chico or Jelly Baby on top of ‘towel’

* Add cocktail umbrella

I will see if I can find a photo and put it on later…

Well, I passed uni which is a big relief to me… best outcome considering what’s been going on… so I can relax about that now…

I’ve been doing some great work to forge ahead since getting my diagnosis.  This week I am seeing a naturopath who specialises in intestinal issues and is a qualified nutritionist… so that should help with the eating.

I’m assuming I’ll be going on an alkaline eating plan but all will be revealed.  Ahhh taking it’s toll financially but I am hoping that will slow down once I’ve established stuff with the naturopath…

Mariposima, thanks for your message… sorry if you left that a while ago… I don’t even know how to respond to you as it’s been ages since I’ve been on here…

Anyway I am a healing machine… and I am working on the issues that have brought me here…it’s been heavy but it’s getting lighter everyday…

Working on myself and hopefully things will fall into place again.

Thanks for listening… I hope you are all well.
