Deefor diet

I’m on a Deefor diet.

Having gained a few pounds recently I decided something had to be done to shift the thing that’s now hanging around my middle bit and preventing me from fastening my buttons on my jeans. I’ve done the denial and also accused the tumble dryer of shrinking stuff, but the scales say it in plain English ‘you have become unfit, get off your backside and stop eating chips’

I needed something to lever me out of the sitting position!

I needed a dog! To walk me.

I had a light bulb moment, Ahah!!, I have a friend who has a dog who could fix me, his name is Deefor, why waste time searching for a name for a dog when D for dog will fit the bill.

He calls for me, takes me round this massive field, keeps checking I’m keeping up and nags me if I don’t. Then, to round it off he gives me a good wash and tells me what a good girl I’ve been.

Magic.....I've lost 4lbs so far.

Ok I'll stay then.

Now that the assignment has been handed in and I've done the exam I feel a tad more relaxed, although I'm not at all sure I will pass the exam because I went off on one and revised the wrong thing. I wasn't alone though which means I'm not necessarily getting old age confusion yet.

On perusing the new timetable for the next module I was once again fired up with the passion for nursing that has always been in my system. Bio science figures heavily in this next bit which will end in a two and a half hour exam mainly covering the systems (endocrine, respiratory, digestive, immune, muscular skeletal, urinary etc....). This really excites me because although I love all aspects of nursing, my particular interest is medical and I am fascinated by the body systems.

One of the other subjects we will be studying is pain which is another area of great interest to me, along with palliative and end of life care. This is where I would love to end up working, it is what drives me and it is where I would love to have a chance to make a difference. I am totally inspired by pain management teams such as Macmillan nurses and have been very lucky to see the outcome of their specialist intervention on a few occasions.

So at the moment I am staying put and will ride out the next nervous breakdown when everything is due in.
