The doctors decided today that they are going to attack the bowel problem with 2 separate treatments they are:
1. A treatment which attacks the bad antibodies in my body (think Yakult but on steroids)
2. A steroid treatment which reduces the inflammation in my bowel
Being so thin I was interested in the steroids but apparently it's not the same so I suppose I will have to do the hard yards to get muscles back.
In the morning my dietician paid me a visit and we are changing up my diet to remove any fibers which the body doesn't process. This was quite interesting because there are foods which I didn't know that the body doesn't process they are:
1. Corn
2. Wholegrain's
3. Nuts
4. Vegetables
5. Fruit with skin
I like my dietician because every time I see her she gives me more permission to eat unhealthy (I don't have to eat my vegetables, where was she when I was 7 years old?)
After my dietician I was visited by my physio for the first time. I explained to him with the calories I'm eating I want to start building some muscles back up. So after a quick visit to his office he came back with a workout I can do in my own room. Then when I'm removed from quarantine I can join a physio class they have every morning. My room workout includes an upper body workout and a lower body workout. It includes squats, calf raises and about 6 lower body exercises
For the upper body workout he came in with the smallest set of dumbbells, after being amazed at the size of the dumbbells I looked at the weight. OMG it's 1kg dumbbell, in the moment he reduced me to feeling like a 70 year old grandma.
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful, Mel paid me a visit and my family. So we sat around and talked (I'm starting to lose my voice now). I'm looking forward to starting my new workout tomorrow and seeing how I pull up Sunday
