Argh! I have cursed myself. I now have to spend Wednesday having things done to my hair and face. Well, I don’t have to, but if I wish to stop looking like I died a couple of weeks ago, I do. That would be preferable as I have a number of public speaking things in May.

I’m properly better now in that the iron infusion is taking effect and my body is circulating oxygen around itself in the way it’s meant to, but four months of it not doing so has taken its toll. I am very unfit and my hair has got thin and my skin dull. I’m now embarking on a rather intensive fitness & healthy eating programme throughout April that should, by the end of it, have me fully restored to my previous level of fitness which was actually pretty good.

I had hoped this would also address the problem of me closely resembling something out the The Ring (below)but it seems this will requires me to take more direct action. I’m going to spend Wednesday having things done to my face and hair and getting instructions on how to keep doing them which I will then follow. I have told the husband that I will look fully human again by his birthday at the beginning of May and he has told me that I am already beautiful because he is a sweetheart and also wishes to live to see that birthday.
