The good and the bad

Hi peeps

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking the excellent advice on this website I pretty much started by taking it one day at a time. This does indeed help. 

I thought to share the good and the bad and would love to hear anyone else's should they wish to share.

Today I had both a good and a bad moment. I received 2 letters in the post.

The first was from the hosp confirming my op date (my bad moment) cos my stomach dropped and I had that now familiar feeling of anxiousness take hold for a moment but shook it off cos I know it is needed. 

The good - my 2nd letter - as if... a tax rebate - boom  . Not half put a much needed smile on my face . Reckon a my treat family meal is in order.

Eeee it's the little things ain't it. 

Take care peeps 

Sandra x ️X

 

  • Ooo pippin could just demolish one of those ( I am not above having for breakfast :-) 

    Do you make a butter frosting or a cream cheese one?  I’ve swung to doing cream cheese. Started doing cos seemed an easier make for the lil ones to do :D

    its early days for you post .... everything bless so yes fair chance  u will feel the way u do. Just listen to your body... if you want to rest then rest, if you want to sleep then sleep, if you want to climb a mountain then..... sit down have a cuppa think hard if this is what u really want t do and if still yes then.... do it ;-)

    Your body and mind has been through a lot .., give it and u a bit of time to pull around ️ X

     

  • Morning peeps 

    bad:- none yay!

    good :- well that’s it all 7 seasons of GoT watched. Eeek can’t wait .... get here already S8 lol.

    School holidays so.... badge making with the girls, park nd field at back of mine with a balloon tied t some wool order of the day. they are sleeping at mine tonight too ️

    Sunday showed 5 (almost 6) gdaughter how to knit. Chunky wool nd big needle square ( to make bunny cream egg cover). I cast on then started and finished each row - she knit sts in between ( about 5 sts per row). She did brill! I stitched up after she left. Oh my her little face was in awe with finished products ( we did 2 one each for them) when she saw them yesterday. Gotta admit they look better than I thought they would cos of the chunky wool lol. Pic below - ooo nd check out me £1 charity shop eggcup... do people still use eggcups? 

    Have as good a day as u can peeps :-)

  • Morning all

    Good

    Sun is trying to shine. Garden room nearly finished. Having Maggie May this afternoon whilst my daughter is at work..,second day of new job. Daughter loves the new job and the people she is working with are friendly. She was chuffed that her works phone was an iPhone. Past phones have all been android and she couldn’t get on with them.

    Bad

    Hubby in hospital in the next few weeks to have major surgery to remove all of his small bowel. Saw the surgeon yesterday and was a bit shocked at how soon it will happen. Pre op next week. Had to cancel yet another holiday. Terrified. It’s different when it’s not yourself in for surgery.

    Hope everyone can find something good in their day.

  • Morning xx

    I use butter frosting Sandra, not tried cream cheese so might give it a go next time, not baked for ages and need to get back to doing normal things as an when. Thank you for encouragement ....no two days are the same at the moment, think I feel ok then wham back down again! 

    Awwww egg cosies are so cute, I love anything bunnified :) your little granddaughter did really well, very talented xx I have assorted egg cups redundant in cupboard, don’t seem to have egg and soldiers these days. Love your charity shop egg cup...that’s a great find!

    Good......going for haircut today ......big step in right direction 

    bad.......aching like a 90 year old this morning and boob has weird looking rash, looks all speckled!!!

    Hope the sun shines for us all xxx

     

  • Hi Sundial

    Sorry to hear news about your hubby xxx sending love and hugs xxx 

    Hope your Maggie May cuddles will comfort you later xx

    would love to see your garden room! 

    Xx

  • Ah sundial so sorry t b reading this..... getting old with its multitude of health problems it brings sucks. 

    Tight hugs lass ️. 

    My cousin posted a pic on fbook of when she was 16 (she’s 65 now).... her knee length socks were longer than the skirt she had on :D ... oh to b that young nd care free now eh. X

  • That’s what it’s all about getting back to us again. Could the rash b a prickly heat? Might b worth giving yr breast care nurse a quick call.... just for your own reassurance really..the little things can twitch us now. 

    I’ve not owned an eggcup for years ( boil em nd whop then in a sandwich ( yes I’m full of dainty class ;-) ). I only bought that one cos thought it looked a bit funky nd thought would look good with tea lights in... they fit perfect so... it’s repurposed lol 

    enjoy your haircut u time x

  • Cottage industry where I do nothing but make money would b perfect wouldn’t it lol. 

    Cant wait t see your garden room.... something t focus on that’s not hospital orientated... bless ️
