October

Well, October was a better month. This was even more of a surprise because of mums decision to come off the lactose free milk and to go back to the oily margarine (no longer using the soya spread). She did this against my advise as she sometimes felt sick. This didn't have great benefit but she still didn't want to go back on to the soya spread etc.

Also, and something i was very annoyed about and powerless to control was that the trip to the Continence Nurse that i thought would end with a Lactose Test ended up with no test because mum 'forgot' to ask. She didn't forget.. she just doesn't like hospitals and the word 'test' even though it's harmless. I was very disappointed but what can i do?! I can't force her to take more positive action.

In the meantime i have continued to make her foods which she likes and that have little or no lactose in them.

Last months total beat the previous. 81 for October! Pretty pleased with that at least!
