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

 

  • Morning jolamine 

    lovely to see your post:happy:

    hope you are doing ok in all of this... how quickly the world we live in became a surreal reality..,. Sigh.

    strange ol world we are living in ... take care ️

  • Well hello wor beach :happy:

    bless bet yr mam is chuffed to see you at albeit at a distance. My granddaughters ( who live close by) have done the same a couple of times on their daily walk ( usually pushing their dolls pram). We have perfected  the putting our arms around ourselves and squeezing tight at same time as a distance hug   ️

    you enjoy every min of your time off... shame it can't be beach hut time.. soon hopefully.

    take care lass x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad :- just heard on news urgent cancer referrals is down approx 75% how worrying is that.

    good:- The weather is good so do my daily walk the it's into the garden, read book and sip wine (deliberately using the word sip instead of drinking to sound less of a plonky :laugh: ).

    just finished knitting a jumper each for lil ones... realised I was gonna b short of wool for 2nd one.. so added a contrast... literally left with scraps of wool  ( I played yarn chicken nd won lol).

    have as good a day as u can peeps. Stay well, stay safe, stay in ️

  • Hi there Dizzle.... 

    Well we were all behind you no matter what .. but a part of my heart is so pleased ...  just cut any remarks or anything that comes from those nasty gelious people that like to bring our Dizzle down .. if your ready for anything , you can put them where they belong ... in the trash ... 

    I've never felt so much love on here, as we all feel for you ...    

    So here's to you all on here .. lovely to hear from you Sandra... are you managing to have the little ones .. I'm feeling lost without mine ... it really hurts ... roll on a bit of normality ... instead on ground hog day .. even the film didn't last this long ... ; ((  

    Well keep safe everyone ...  big vertual hug.... Chrissie xx

  • Hi chis

    i get to see the lil ones from my window occasionally. They have passed mine on their daily walk ( they live 5 mins away). It's just not the same though... sigh.

    daughter is doing all my food shopping (we have never experienced the lack of items many seem to have done). 
    my spending has dropped through the floor so there's a positive lol. 

    A lot of chatting happening  ( at a distance) over the garden fence... it's a nice way to get to know the new neighbours.

    Hope you are managing ok. When out on my daily walk I see very few people but if I need to pass someone we both give each other as wide a birth as we can. It's a new dance everyone seems to know. 
     

    take care lass.. lots of FaceTime calls with family order of the day x

  • Hi Dizzle,

    Waow! What amazing news. I am so excited for you. Hope everything else is good with you, Jamie and Grace.

    Glad you're getting out and about. You're certainly right about how surreal it is!

    Take care,

    LJxx

  • Hi Sandra 

    Decided Dr is going o.T.T. When getting hoist for bren i twisted my hip slightly don't know exactly what happened but it hurt., carer's noticed later in the day head office called i said its OK. Half hour later occupational therapist rang.

    Yesterday Dr's receptionist called I've phone appointment next week, how he's going to check my hip over the phone i don't know. I told receptionist it's OK now she just ignored me.. 

    It's nice to feel people are concerned about me but this is a bit over the top. 

    Hope you and our friends and family (Dizzle) are all as well as can be. Love to all and a hug for later..... Billy xxx
