Hello everyone. 

Today is a Monday. For people able to work, it is the start of the work week. While I'm ok with not working, I do wish I was able to. Being "wobbly" when moving is not a good thing. Around the house I just move slowly and if I feel unstable I reach out and touch a wall or a countertop or a piece of furniture that is sizable. When I go outside the house I use a cane to walk. Sometimes I forget that I'm wobbly and try to move quickly. I'm reminded that is a mistake by almost falling down. My balance when upright sucks. 

My thinking is for the most part untouched. I do seem to be overly emotional. That is "new" since the stroke. I'm now 3 years plus since the stroke. Also have had my Thyroid and Gall Bladder removed. I do take a Thyroid pill each day to provide my body with what the thyroid would produce. The Gall Bladder surgery while leaving me weak for about a week afterwards has allowed me to eat anything without getting ill. I used to throw up 3 to 4 times a year. These weren't just get sick and get over it situations. I would throw up on day one and be sick all day long. Day Two, I would be physically sore and pretty much unable to do anything. Nowadays, I eat and drink whatever and don't get sick. 

The surgeon said my Gall Bladder was nasty. I assume that is a medical term. Nasty. It lead to me being ill 3 to 4 times a year and finally a bout of Pancreatitis that put me in the hospital. During that stay is when I had the Gall Bladder Surgery. Once I recovered, I was much better off. I do take antacids some nights, but I haven't been sick since. It has almost been two years. I do watch and try to not eat items I think would make me sick if I over indulged in spicy stuff. Other than that, I eat and drink whatever I want.

Toast and Coke Zero Sugar are coming up very soon. It is what I normally have an hour after the Thyroid pill. That pill says to take on an empty stomach. Therefore, I try to wait an hour after taking it before eating anything. I got in the habit of having some bread when I drink my caffeine. Usually that is a soft drink. Due to my A1C being checked every 6 months, I do watch my sugar intake. As such, I drink Zero Sugar soft drinks. They pretty much taste the same to me and cost about the same as other soft drinks do.

The LCS has Week 7 Thursday and Friday. The LEC starts their Spring Split on Saturday March 11.  My plan is to do a YouTube video detailing my LCS predictions for Wednesday. I also plan to do an LEC tier list for the Spring Split which I hope to have up Thursday or sooner. Also will be doing an LEC predictions video. Probably will do Friday for that since the games start on Saturday.

 

Thanks for reading. Hope everyone has a good week.
