My week looks like this...

Sat 2K jog and 400m swim at Bath Uni.
Sun 2K jog and 400m swim at Bath Uni.
Both these swim sessions with Bath Amphibians Tri club.
Mon recovery walk.
Tues 2k jog and 400m swim with AM.
Wed recovery walk.
Thurs 3K run.
Fri recovery walk.

The weekends are by far my favourite time spent with family. We all meet up at the uni and train and then spend time enjoying the sports cafe.My walks are up on Salisbury Plain which is only down the road at Edington and we go up there in all weathers. Fabulous views and a bracing wind...just as we like it.
Only a few more days on the Kx365 challenge then onto something different for the New Year. All dependant on my health and level of fitness. No Jantastic this year!! so maybe try to carry on as above plan but increase walk distance each time.
Hope all who are still around on TT are fit and well.

My new club, Bath Amphibians, put up with my lack of strength and speed and helped to make a dream come true. Still suffering from chronic fatigue but not prepared to give in!!...and I didn't walk. Coming up to the 12months since the nasty gallstones tried to see me off and my brush with death in intensive care. Never underestimate the power of positive thoughts and actions....off to bed now to calm down :)

Soooooooooz]]> My GP became a little tired of seeing me at the surgery every month as there's only so many ways he can say 'chronic fatigue'. I had to take matters into my own hands and so diet and supplements plus guided meditation have been useful. According to GP I'm in denial as to how ill I was...I almost died. So I've worked on this and accepted that my subconscious is probably at work here. PTSD is nearer to my condition and facing up to the trauma has released a lot of emotion. I can only manage to walk everyday at the moment as I'm swimming 4 times a week. I can now swim 50m with less rest and usually 400m each session. So looking forward to the autumn when I'm hoping to resume more mileage and a faster pace....plus we have the prospect of grandchild number 4 end of Sept.
Hope all is well in blogland but very quiet these days.

Sooooooooooooooooooz]]> Then I noticed my dizzy head wasn't clearing and Postural Vertigo was diagnosed. I now have tablets and it's slowly clearing...thank goodness, as it's the major limiter in my recovery.
My husband is my saviour and the best thing in my life...he's so patient and caring....love him to bits!!!

Getting out everyday for a short spell. Weather really good here in Wilts at the moment. Lost a stone in wt...7st 3...lowest I've been for 40 years. All my clothes fit so well but I do look a bit scraggy so must keep feeding myself up.
Take care bloggers and thanks for you comments and concerns..it does mean a lot XX
Sooooooooooooooooz]]> evening felt a bit tired. Had painful cramp in the night and put it down to dehydration. Got up early 4.30am to make a cup of tea nad began to feel the old gall bladder pain in side. Went back to bed and slept for a while only for the pain to come back later in the day. Tried to go upstairs to get on the bed and collapsed on the stairs. Glyn called the ambulance and I was taken to A&E at RUH Bath. I was in panic state as this felt worse then any other attack. I was monitored overnight and then things began to worsen .A stone must have lodged in my pancreas causing acute pancreatitis. I rapidly went downhill and was transferred to intensive care or ITU as it's now called. I became very poorly as my body swelled and my lungs filled with fluid. Breathing became really difficult.
After throwing a major wobbly whereby I thought I'd been kidnapped and tried to pull out the central line in my neck I was put on a ventilator. And thats where I stayed for a week. My wonderful husband was so worried as were my daughters.
I slowly pulled through and spent the next 2 weeks getting my lungs strong enough for keyhole. The operation was so easy and the hospital let me out the next day.
I've been home 10 days and never felt so weak and lacking in any strength.

So where to now?....well, it's going to be a long time before I'm back to "normal". Everything, even cleaning my teeth tires me out. But I'm confident given time I should make a full recovery.

take care everyone out there look after yourselves and I'll be back laters
