Tuesday I had a hospital appointment at the Brompton as my IV antibiotics finished on the Monday so I needed to have some blood done and see the Dr and then see what our next plan of action was going to be. My weight has gone up in two weeks - I have gone from 41.9kg to 43.6kg which is brilliant, so am very pleased about that. The Dr spoke to Professor about what she wanted to do for me chest wise and it was suggested I stay on one antibiotic to keep everything stable to which I agreed. So I am now on one antibiotic rather then the two that I was on before and I will return in two weeks to review my situation again. I also had an appointment with the ear, nose and throat specialist to check there's nothing unusual happening in those areas but luckily those were all fine and the Dr said he did not need to see me again which was good to hear.
Today was my photo shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine. When I woke this morning I felt really nervous, mainly about the clothes (no I am not that vein) but I have problems with jeans fitting so I was really worried about looking too skinny. I had been emailing Joan the picture editor for many months now so when she emailed me yesterday we arranged for her to come to my house for one. She arrived and shortly afterwards a photographer, photography assistant, stylist and hair/make-up artist arrived. My mum rallied around offering tea whilst everyone started setting up. My mum had to be back at work for two so J came around to help out and stay with me, they asked him if they could use him for test shots whilst I was having my hair and make-up done ,J hates having his photograph taken but he could hardly say no.
When I was finally ready the shoot began, there was a lot of 'can you tilt your head, move your arm, hold your hands.. beautiful, beautiful..' If I am honest I didn't feel too comfortable doing it, don't get me wrong I love being in front of the camera - if someones taking a photo I want to be in it, but I think it was more that when its a photo shoot all eyes are on you and it was that, that didn't suit me, I would prefer to be on the other end of the camera I think.
I did have a really good day and it was something so different to what I have ever done before. The article will be in the June issue which gets released in May, I get to read the article through tomorrow morning, I hope its good.
P.S - I've been at home for a month on Friday - YEY!!
