Hi all,
I'm a bit down. DH came out of hospital on Wednesday night. The hospital confirmed that he had had a heart attack. It appears that one of his main arteries was almost blocked (others are fine - just appears to be one of those things) so he has had a stent put in to keep it open. It was a minor heart attack though, so there hasn't been a great deal of damage to his heart - thank God. They seem to think he will be fine when all the bruising etc has gone.
I admit I felt very optimistic, as he is still around and he didn't die in a hotel room in Germany (he was away on business at the time), but of course he doesn't feel lucky at all. He is frightened, miserable and more than a little snappy with me and the kids. I have been running around trying to keep everything on an even keel and I feel exhausted now. Sometimes, I feel I want to snap back at him - it isn't my fault this has happened. But I'm hoping that he will soon be back to his normal gorgeous self.
I'm sort of happy that I was on this diet when it happened as I couldn't just down a bottle of wine, so I think it made me feel more in control of things - well as much as you can be in these circumstances. But I could murder a drink now!
I lost 5lbs at the 3rd weigh in, so 14lbs gone in 3 weeks. No doubt the stress of the last few days have helped but even so - I am amazed. Haven't lost anything at all since Tuesday though. Have been nibbling bits and bobs all day but everything has been low carbs stuff and I know I am still in ketosis as my mouth tastes horrible, as usual. From other postings, I can see this is normal, so I'll carry on anyway. Also, have had bleeding half way through my cycle, but I think this can happen on CD too.
Anyone there to cheer me up??
