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

  • Hi Everone
    I’ve not been on here for a while. Such a hectic time.

    Bad

    Hubby  had a stent fitted and kidney stones removed in September. He went back in on 7 November to have the stent removed and they couldn’t get it out. It had knotted which apparently is very rare. He was referred to the city hospital and saw the specialist on 18 November. The stent has been removed today under a spinal anaesthetic. It took two hours and was very tricky. They had to put in another stent because the urethra was swollen and they didn’t want it to close up. They also put one in the other side in preparation for removing stones from the other kidney. He’s pencilled for that surgery on 19 December. That will be under general and will involve a small cut in the back. He is still in hospital tonight but hopefully be out tomorrow. Feeling anxious about my appt in December when I have time to think abut it.

    Good

    Weve  had a new car.
     

    Take care all
