I managed to get the two lab assessments done and marked today - 100%, which puts me on about 70% so far. I'm stoked. *g* All I have to do now is the final three lab assessments, the final assignment and pass the two exams and I'm set. (Yeah, only that. ;) ) I'm really aiming for a 5 (Credit) in this subject. Can't see myself getting anything higher (HA!). Can't really see myself getting better than a pass, really.

Dad has had chest pains for about a week now, so he went to the doctor yesterday. The doctor gave him a referral letter to go back to the cardiologist who originally put the stent in. Mum called this morning - she has to fax the referral in and they'll assess it and give him an appointment. We really don't need this now. *sigh*

In other medically-related news, the Doctor is pretty sure I'm allergic to wheat. Fantastic. Plus, not allowed chocolate or fried foods, and I have an amazing lack of protein and iron. Guess who's on tablets again?

What is the thing I eat most in the world? Wheat. Bread rolls for lunch, often toast or Weet-bix for breakfast, sometimes pasta for dinner. Sausage roll here, burger there...(I'm not fat, surprisingly) So far today I have eaten a mandarine, a picnic bar (bad) and a piece of toast (double bad). I'm hungry, but I can't eat virtually anything because most of the meals I can make in the time span allotted have wheat.

Yes, like I can afford all this.

ETA - Chicken and veggies I *can* have. YUMMM.

*big hugs*

Rice crackers?

You know, I was just thinking the other day how similar the girl I'm living with in Dover is to you Health wise. She has an intolerance to wheat.

But don't let it get to you sweety, I know it's gotta be hard adjusting but when you start looking around for food you actually can eat there's quite a lot of options thes days.

Rice crackers are yummmm! I love them.

It's surprisingly common thing, apparently. Most people don't recognise it or do much about it when they find out though.

It's ok. I'll survive :)

There you go then, a quick healthy snack that you can actually eat *and* enjoy ;)

It's ok. I'll survive :)

Well, one would rather hope so ;)

Yeah I know :( They're good with cottage cheese... but thinking about it you can't eat that either can you because it's dairy? Hmm.

Hee *SMMOOOOOCCCCH* I would not be happy if that were not the case!

Can't have dairy, nope. :) But I have tuna! *g*

No, it's not cool. But ok :)

So - rice crackers, tuna... you can have oats! Uncle toby's instant porridge with cinnamon is *so* good, and you could make it with soy milk I expect (I don't like porridge as a general rule, but these i do like *g*). dude, look at us go - if we keep this up you'll have a veritable smorgasboard of options ;D

*hugs*

*nods* My hubby is allergic to wheat - it sets off his IBS. He went completely wheat-free for a while, then gradually introduced wheat back into his diet, one thing at a time. He now knows what he can and can't have.
PS Rye bread makes crappy toast :(
Good Luck!

She thinks I could possibly have that too (IBS). I don't want to know. *sighs* I have to go completely wheat-free for a while (HA!) and see how it goes.

I know. I was intollerant to everything except fresh fruit and vegies and fresh meat up until I was 6. :)

Thanks!
