Friday, Saturday and Sunday 22,23 and 24 January 2010: Sarah and Heidi meet for haircuts and welcome a freshly-cut Marv to FTD along with Yma and Ayla

Sarah says:
That's me above today - Sunday the 24th with my haircut from Heidi and better, but still-tired eyes! Tomorrow it's back to life, back to reality. I just hope my back holds up and doesn't fail me again for a while. I have to take everything slowly and not sit for too long, which is hard, considering I work on my computer all day long. I'll try to take little walks in between sitting. Cross your fingers for me. I have busy months ahead and am not sure I could take another bout of bad-back! I also want to get back to exercising - biking and using cross-trainer! I miss it. My body longs for it. But I just can't even try all that until my back stops aching. I think I perhaps gained a kilo or two back from stopping exercise and not eating as well while in the hospital and at home all day. That's to be expected. But now I want to lose it and more again and I will!
Above and below photos are from yesterday - Saturday the 23rd of January. Heidi stopped by to cut Tom's and my hair. I totally love the haircut she gave Tom. He looks great! She also trimmed my hair - and as usual, I love it! Heidi is a really talented hair-cutter!

While Heidi cut our hair, Ayla and Yma literally "hung-out" in the living room. At one point when I walked in on the two of them lounging in those chairs and eating chips, Yma said that they were taking some time for themselves! It was so adorable. That kid - those kids - well, they are great! So nice to see them hanging out together! In the above photo you can see the "fort" or "house" they built of blankets.
Above photo of me is from Friday night the 22nd of January. That day I took a walk to Ayla's school and back and then around Ikea in Lille in the evening. My stupid left foot - toes - hurt so much after those small walks - in the same way as they hurt the day I went into the hospital! Man, I hate that! I JUST WANT TO FEEL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Friday I also went to my house doctor for a check-up of my back and for blood tests to check my cholesterol, thyroid and hormone levels. The dietitian I go to suggested I have those tests because she also thinks that based on what I eat and the exercise I was doing that my metabolism is still really slow and it could be for a reason. I just hope my blood test doesn't reveal diabetes or thyroid problems or way too high cholesterol. I can hardly take my back pain. I don't know what I'd do if I hear I have some more stuff to deal with. Well - actually - I guess I would just deal with it because that's life, isn't it!? I just hope there is nothing new to have to deal with!!!
