Silence from my daughter from 3 days - she is entitled - she got a rare serve of tough love from me and she doesn't have to like it

She was totally out of line - after all - what she thinks about me is not my business and I would rather not know. She can't touch my self-esteem - I still feel okay about myself

I would love to tell her that she was out of line and that I will not enable that behaviour in the future - she has had her moments in the past - she tends to give me a psychological kick in the guts when I am vulnerable - like after my parents died - perhaps she does't like it and gets scared when I am vulnerable. Stiff cheddar for her - I have won this health battle though it's taking me a long time to recover

I have had a lot of feedback and encouraged by my success in one of the hospitals I reported in my email to Ramsay Care - the other hospital will take longer but I have had an encouraging email about that. It's worth making relevant complaint. Ramsay Health as a vast website that is hard to navigate but with a lot of phonecalls I found the right email address for Australia. I can go higher if I need to.

I feel empowered - it is worth doing - I have known this for all of my adult life

Thanks everyone - last week was so hard I can't write here about it - this week - tough - but I started eating some chicken fillets I had ordered with other food on-line. I cut it into portions and when it was partly defrosted I cut it into thin slices and sauted it in it's own juices. I forgot to take the last piece out of my freezer last night so - um yeah - I will have toast for brekky. 

Thanks again - I would be here more often but typing with my left arm isn't easy - I will be back more often
