5th January. What no Liquorice in this Diet.
What ho folks it's Grandpa B here and you are thinking what does that title mean? Grandma was given a Low Potassium Diet sheet to look at today, this is not necessarily the one that she will get from the Dietitian on Monday but give a good indication as to what she should or should not be eating. On the list is Liquorice which is a No No and guess who has chewed their way through loads of it recently. Of course this lovely stuff has a lot of Potassium in it, But so have other things that have been consumed. There are several Fruits and Vegetables, Pulses and whole selection of thing that one normally eats that have a high Potassium content and when you have a problem and not realise it then it can have severe consequences to your health.
Right, enough of the lecture. Today has been quite busy for Grandma for on down side she has had two bag leaks during last night and today. But on the up side She had her bed moved so she can now see the outside world ( well, some of the local golf course). She has had visits from brother Roger and his wife Sue up from Wiltshire who came laden with Christmas gifts. They first called on Grandpa at lunch time and supplied fish and chips from the local chippy. Thank you Roger and Sue. They were then going on to visit Uncle Billy for tea in Paddock Wood, Kent before travelling back to Wiltshire this evening. Later in the afternoon it was Grandpa's time to visit and during this time took Grandma to the Cafe to buy her some sweets that weren't on the forbidden list. Later in the evening Jenny went to see Grandma and is going to call on her tomorrow afternoon as Grandpa is at the Olde Rocking Horse Antique Shoppe.. Thank you Jenny. So it seems to have been a busy day for all concerned and I am sure that we all should sleep well tonight. Well folks I think that's about it for now as the old thought processes are beginning to fuddle (maybe its the glass of Whisky sitting by the keyboard that's causing it).So its Goodnight from GRANDPA B and I hope you all keep well and safe. GRANDPA B
