DAY 41 - POST SCRIPT oops

Oh dear!

I VERY NEARLY PB'D this afternoon. (PB'd is a nicer term for sicking up food with a band)

I have had an odd day. Because of the pain in my tummy, I haven't really felt hungry at all today. I forgot to eat. Simple as that.

This morning I had a pupil coming to the house and I had over slept, so missed breakfast to madly dash about and tidy up. Had a coffee or 3.

This afternoon I was making lunch, when I went to shut the back French doors and realised they wouldn't shut! So I served up DS's lunch whilst I fiddled with the door, sprayed it with WD40 etc, and then scoured the WWW for the number of our double glazing company who put them in for us last May. We were due to go out, so I had to sort it. Hence missed lunch too. Had a coffee then as well.

Went out to the meeting, and then straight back to a Friends house to teach her two daughters. was not thinking about food at all, so when I got home DS was peckish - it was 6pm after all. So I said have a snack.

That's when I realised that I hadn't eaten anything all day. So although I wasn't hungry, I had a hot cross bun. No butter.

I ate it too fast. I got a pain in my chest that felt like bad indigestion. Saliva started backing up in my mouth and I couldn't talk (just like you said Erika!). It seemed to help to breathe in deeply and hold it, then slowly breathe out and repeat the process. I had a big bite of bun still in my mouth at this time too! Water kept coming into my mouth and the pain was really square between my breast and in my back, and then I thought, I just had to swallow the saliva, and very gradually the breathing got easier, and the pain lessened, and within 20 seconds I was back to normal again. I then spat out the mouthful I was about to eat when this pain started. I couldn't face swallowing that too!

I really did think that it was going to come back up, but it didnt. I really should not have eaten a dry bun after nothing else all day.

Anyway, to finish the weird day off, I went upstairs to read. I got a new book about Home Education from amazon, year on year lesson planning and tips etc. So I lay down on the bed to have a read. Then about half an hour later I thought I would have a little snooze.

I slept through dinner and its now 9:30pm and we are both going off to bed with a hot drink.

So very strange.

Today I have been mostly eating... 1 Hot cross Bun - minus 1 mouthful.

Crazy, but I still have not PB'd!
