Due to the Anemia, and the heavy bleeding they decided that a Mirena would be the best for me to regulate everything.. I had it fitted while I was in Hospital .. (an IUD type device,  it has a slow release hormone , also good for contraception .. )

I had spoken to approx 10 people .. 2 said no way not with a barge pole.. so I guess those are good odds.

I read up on it .. sounds good to me ..

After fitting I had 4 days .. no bleeding .. it takes 3- 6 mths to sort itself out.. and settle .. but after 4 days i started again and was loosing just as much and felt I was going backwards again .. so I was up in my Drs face after 2 weeks of this and asked for a drug I had heard that stopped the bleeding .. and you know what .. it did within 24 hours. Woohooo so with meds and Iron and a supplement I was back on track and feeling dangerous.. getting back to me ..

Something else happened .. I lost my urge to have a drink .. I ws 6 weeks without a drink before I had a glass of wine.

I am still not interested , but will have the odd bourbon .. strangest thing was going to an annual party that we do and being sober driver .. that just does not happen ever.. 4am and I was stone cold sober .. it felt great.

I am back at the Gym .. pushing myself in little ways .. i gave up all abdominal excercises due to the bleeding but now can slip them back in ..

after weeks I was able to do 5 mins on the dreaded cross trainer .. I was so excited , as I had only ever made 3.

I am doing interval training on the treadmill , walk for 2 mins at 6.5kmh incline of 5, and run 1 min 8kmh incline 5.. building up slowly.

I also do 10 mins on the recumbent bike ( almost lay back)

Then a weights session .. 2x a week and a vibration training session 2 x weekly.

I cook dinner through the day .. and skip out the door as soon as the last child leaves.

then I am back by 7pm

I feel great..can’t wait to see the results.

This weekend TOH and I are off for a weekend in Auckland. I will take my Gym gear and work out in the hotel Gym while he sleeps .. he is a night owl and I am a morning person.

I was given a one night Do Not Disturb package at the Skycity hotel from a parent last christmas as a Thank you and due to all the stuff happening early in the year with the bussiness liquidation and then birthday party and the illness I have had little time or money .. or inclination to go. ( probably also why I have not been bothered with OD sorry guys)

So I have booked an extra night and searched some cheap fun things to do .. I wish I had the money to ferry to Waiheke.. but that will have to wait.

I guess thats about all for now ..

Thank you all for your concern .. I loved reading your notes again ..
