Hmm, it's been a good couple of weeks without an update. Trouble is, I can't remember what has happened. Senility is clearly setting in. I don't know whether I mentioned that Chris is moving into a new apartment - he has actually already moved into it, but I am going down next weekend to empty the Safe Store container with him. Priority #1 is the bed. It's going to be fun getting it up that winding staircase!!
I had a contact lens trial on Saturday which went well. I hope to get monthly disposable lenses, but I will still have to wear reading glasses for close work. I may be able to get monovision lenses at a later date, but we will just have to see on that. My reading prescription in a little too strong for the monovision lenses at present.
Chris is in pretty poor health at the moment - he has had blood tests and Hepatitis is a possibility. I am just so ANGRY with him that he has never taken responsibility for his diabetes and now we are getting to the stage where it may not be reversible. Considering he works in the health profession, it seems incredible to me that he has failed to take on board any advice given by the health practitioners and carried on with the same lifestyle. I don't want to lose him. I don't want my kids to lose their father before they are 20. He needs a good wake-up call, and I don't even know whether this latest scare will do the trick. It's almost like he's given up and he doesn't think there is anything he can do. His mother is beside herself, of course - so am I - and Chris has recommended that I don't get in touch with her until he has the results of his blood tests, to spare my ear being chewed off. She blames me for "not taking good care of him" but when he lives 150 miles away, that's a pretty tough ask. And let's not forget that when he goes to see her, she feeds him up on scones and cakes and biscuits, so it's pretty strange that it's all MY fault when I'm the one who steers him away from the cake aisle when we go food shopping!!!
There you see, I did have something to say after all. It feels good to have got it off my chest. Thanks for listening.
