The Appointed Time:

When we arrived at the surgery the doctor immediately handed me over to the dieticians. The student dealt with my case under the guidance of the qualified dietician.

I received one whole hour of advice: stop worrying! Take 4 spoonfuls of double cream through the day. Have a box of treats beside my chair. (I told her, no food is a treat for me!) Mix powdered milk with my full cream milk. Use butter and cream with my mashed vegetables.

In fact, eat all the things the rest of folk are trying hard to avoid!

It didn't do anything to help sort out why I cough so much but I came away feeling hopeful and ready to try this.

NB: weight today 7st 12lbs fully clothed.
