Another week

A good week this week.
Interesting.....Ive been having a few tests at the hospital following throat problems. Anyway after a CT scan , Barium meal etc etc including a stack of blood tests including for allegies its been found that Im highly allergic to certain foods viz wheat , most nuts, soya bean and grass pollen and just plain allergic to seafood. Some would say bad news but having been diagnosed with ME maybe I havent got it after all, maybe my body has been fighting this 'sh*t' Ive been eating for the last 5 years and it might explain why when I had 2 pints about 3 years ago that my body had almost an anaphylactic shock....presumably to me throwing wheat into it! Anyway my throat problem appears to be mild asthma brought on by the allergy. So today a new diet excluding all the above starts. How boring will I be to have round for a meal! Lettuce Pete? oh yes yum yum! Haha. I joke cos I can still eat dairy, potatoes, rice, meat in fact most fresh stuff. Of course the 6 million dollar question now is can I drink wine and brandy! I'll perhaps try some in a cpl of months if the body settles down and the usual old symptoms go.The tests also said Im allergic to dust mites and the grass so i said to Gill I cant do the cleaning or mowing.........! Her reaction? Shes getting me a mask! Laughter. Happy days we hope.
Had a small family christening in Colchester for Poppy well actually it was a new style Thanksgiving service. All done by Robin the Padre who is top dollar.Met the extended family of the Paras again who continue to be great. Waldo one of Shauns mates attended then flew to Afghan for 7 months 8 pm last night!Most of the rest go in the next 2-3 weeks. Lets hope at least Shauns mates who we all now know so well come back safe.
