Good morning!
It’s been a slightly less eventful night and with less disruptions to the sleep. Clocking in at 00:04 was a cough that woke me up, a round of Strepsils wrapped that up. Two dehydrated moments at 04:47 and 06:45 followed, yes ladies and gentlemen, I’ve now got to the stage where I’m even documenting the time of the disruption.
A quick morning stats for those who have asked, not much to add here except the diastolic blood pressure which is venturing awfully close to the low side. The weight is still plummeting like there is no tomorrow so I might have to take some drastic actions on the food front later today.
13:01
A quick trip outdoors during lunch for a breath of fresh air was nice, too nice… until you realise you forgot to take your morning dose of antibiotics, doh!
The side effects still aren’t very pleasant but it’s three more little pills before it’s finally all over (wait, that sounds a bit wrong).
Not much to report at this point, still the occasion cough and the odd light-headedness.
For now, it’s a double alarm set to remind me to take tonight’s antibiotics. Over and out!

An attempt to force down a much heavier meal this evening to steady off the weight loss has ended much better than I hoped, it’s time to see how the digestive system will cope with a bit more work after a rather lazy past two weeks.
On a much more positive front, the day has gone by without any incident, no tiredness, still a little lightheaded and the odd cough but a sense of normality is in the air.
With the arrival of nightfall once again yields the return of the persistent cough, the big question mark that looms is what is triggering this? For now, it’s a case of seeing through the antibiotics course and if the cough persists thereafter, then a trip to the doctors will be required.
