Hello Everyone
Sorry I havent been around..this time cant blame tafe..reason being I injured my eye last Saturday.........we were pruning trees and shrubs and a branch flung back and caught me in my left eye..was like ouch but was fine then I was talking to my mum on the phone about 8 ish and omg the pain in my eye was instant and unbearable.....went to the hospital sat there for 3 1/2 hours, to be told I would probably be still here in 4 hours time..grrrrrrrrrr bugger that I came home.......guess they didnt consider it too serious as I could still see out of it , my vision wasnt really affected.....too bad apparently that my eye lid was twice its normal size, using it hurt like hell but nope ..anyway not really whinging here but I didnt go back on Sunday much to the annoyance of my family .....Monday came and it was awful...the pain was still there if I turned my eye to the left and after 4 hours of tafe wasnt good so I decided to go to OPSM ....the girl there was wonderful anyway what I did was grazed the majority of my eye and it had became infected as apparently I was allergic to the sap......still is really sensitive to light, still cant turn it to the left without cringing but its almost back to normal to look at...........funny thing is I always wear my sunnies..this time nope and this happens.........
Weigh in on Monday wasnt anything spectacular......no loss no gain.....really need to take a long hard look here...really..... have come up with the conclusion that I really cant do this alone this time around..I need some direction and some support...basically something to keep me honest....am thinking of signing up to WW again and attending meetings. A friend has offered to come walking with me every afternoon so I hope she can as I really need someone to give me a good shove :(
Ok well I will try and catch up with you all over the next 2 days...hope all is good in your worlds
Love Em x

Goodness Em, you poor thing. I so related to your story - I've come close to doing a similar thing a couple of times and I just realise how easy it can be to seriously hurt yourself. Hope it continues to improve quickly. Staying the same is fine - you've just paused for a second to catch your breath! But I know what you mean about support - I'm finding that WW online tools seem to be enough for me this time but not just that - this whole blogging community seems to help me be accountable - everyone is always forgiving and understanding but nontheless I hate having to tell them I've failed or mucked around - so they collectively do seem to make me feel accountable. Take care

Sounds like you were very lucky not to do more damage to your eye. Glad it's getting better now. As for joining WW , good idea if that's the push you need. I am thinking of joing some other WW group, maybe not even WW's cos I have been going for over 4 years now and am sick of hearing the same old stuff! Good luck to you anyway.
Close call!! My mum had a similar thing with a branch in her eye, except her's wasn't such a happy ending as it nicked the eyeball giving her cateract problems later in life.
Hope it's on the mend by now :)
ohhhh dear, so glad nothing too serious with the eye, hope all continues to heal nicely and leaves no lasting damage.
GOOD LUCK with getting some support, I found I couldn't do it without ww and those demon scales at weigh in and the online forums...the friendships I found with them and my blogging made all the difference...and still does.
