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

  • It’s true Billy mind you gotta put my hands up and admit I did it too. I’m putting it down to a learning curve  of what not to do ;) x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad:- none yay!

    good:- it’s cooler... thunder and lightning, pouring from the heavens but.... cooler. 

    I have rediscovered Branson pickle.... years since had... yum.

    have as good a day as u can peeps x ️X

  • Good :"weather cooled off, feeling a lot better today,, hopefully take Bella for a walk this morning, she loves her walks and the treats she gets if she is good, hope you're a feeling bit better now it's cooler,

    Bad :nothing yet 

  • Sorry mind wandering. Medical assessment most were low odd one med the nurse has to work things out depending on how things are worded, one question was does it take over half an hour to eat her food, i said no because I feed her nurse said can she feed herself i said yes but most of the food goes down her front, so that was classed as a low, we wait and there were about 40 questions over thirty she got low i dred to think what you have to be like to get the high ones or very high,. 

  • Morning Billy...

    You know the whole system now is so screwed up .. it's not what you've got .. it's what you can do which is rubbish ... as those lasses that are terminal with cancer who went on t.v .. could still cook .. and dress .. and none of them would have qualified for help ...

    I think if you have any proved condition I.e cancer ... Parkinson's  ... stroke ... and arthritic conditions that are proved by scans ... dementure .... then it should not need to tell them if you can eat in 30 minutes .. how thoughtless ..  so 28 minutes are o.k then ... can you do buttons up ... well unless we've no fingers , that could be managed .. hundreds of questions to catch people out .. 

    I know people were misusing the disability help .. but now it's gone way past wedding them out .. it's now causing so much heartache .. and those trying to cope the best they can, and just want ... no need help are having to climb a mountain of rubbish ... wish I could use those words I want to ... 

    If only we lived closer .. we could see those rich M Ps ... and get you Billy the help you deserve .. we'd show em ..  you do whatever you need to Billy.. you should all ready have them in place ... it's times like this I wish I was more into the law and know exactly how to help ...  

    You live up to your name ... Billy goats are fearless ...

    Hope everyone else is doing o.k .. Sandra... woo hoo ... summer hols .. means grandkids ... yay ...

    Keep kicking cancers butt ...   

  • Thanks Chris the nurse said they might upgrade her when we know what's wrong with her brain, it's the unknown again, glad you seem A 1 again we know you'll still be hurting and thinking about her and them young ones if ever you need to shout I've got Broad shoulders, there a bit floppy now but there still broad best wishes

    P.s nurse said to get power of attorney,, she said you can do it on Internet, i said I'm not on Internet she then changed the subject,, I'll see grandson soon see what he says he might do it for me, that's what gets me everything Internet this Internet that they take it for granted what happens if Internet goes down everything just stops nobody can do anything, i know at doctors a few months ago computer went down they wouldn't let anyone in all pacient notes should be on paper to keep things going give the receptionists some proper work to do, just a small rant this time.
