Hi Mickey,

I hope that you managed to get out for a walk again today, despite the rain. I have spent all day today removing personal files from my business computer for the new buyer and am going goggle eyed as a result. I've still got more to do, but at least I've broken the back of the job.

Yes, a cancer diagnosis is often a rollercoaster, but fortunately, most of us do get through the worst of it pretty soon.

Love,

Jolamine xx

Happy New Year Jolamine, here's hoping it's kinder to everyone. Love Mickey xx ️

Hi Mickey,

A Very Happy and Healthy New Year to you too and I sincerely hope that this will be the year when we all get back to a more 'normal' life.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Virtual hugs Mickey 

Never far from my thoughts, I'm so glad to finally read you've got that hurdle out of the way I kept wondering how you were doing.

Sending love to you

Happy New Year Jolamine 

I didn't want to pass the page without saying a quick hello.

I hope things are good with you too

Virtual love and hugs back to you Lisa. How lovely of you to have come back on the site to check on me. 

Yes, I'm so grateful the surgery is finally behind me and on the whole it's gone really well. I have had a little bother with my tummy - Seroma and a part of wound that hasn’t healed and is weeping a bit of gunk, so was back at hosp last week and back again this morning. I doubt they’ll do anything re then gunk or wound and they said the Seroma will just have to go itself as no localised area to aspirate.  I’m a lot more tired than I thought I would be and it’s put me off doing my exercises as I’m worried I’ll open the wound more, but otherwise, I’m fine and getting on with things that I can and walking.  Once again just waiting for results and praying no lymph node involvement. Six weeks for these results now, telephone apt scheduled for 24th Jan. 

How are you doing Lisa? 

Love n hugs Mickey xx ️

It's so lovely to hear from you,

What you've had done sounds painful,  I really hope recovery is as speedy as possible - you sound like a trooper getting yourself walking that's really good to hear.

You're doing amazing.

I'll be praying that your lymph nodes are good  too and the wound heals soon, keep a close eye on it though.

With everything that has happened how is that shoulder behaving? Mine finally eased off just before Xmas and I'm doing okay now thanks, went for my first walk in months - honestly I felt like getting a taxi back

I'll keep you in my thoughts Mickey, be counting down the days for you, in the meantime sending you a huge, huge hug and tons of love xxxx

Hi Lisa, 

Thanks for your support and lovely message. 

Just quick update re the frozen shoulder as I can't remember where I was when we last spoke about it.  I had an ultrasound early December. I nearly didn't go because having religiously done my exercises so that they could move my arm during the long BC op, I had good movement back by then.  Anyway, I went and that showed calcifications  also, which I was told had been there long term.  I then had an x-ray last Wed and my consultant apt last Thur.  They were very thorough and he's suggested that to reduce the risk of reoccurrence when I get back to work/gym that I do upper back and shoulder exercises and he's given me some and told me what to do when I get back to the gym. I'm not allowed to do them until I'm fully recovered post op, but I felt more confident.  He also offered to refer me to physio, but the waiting list was longer than the one I'm already on post op and so I dismissed that for now. 

I'm glad yours has finally eased off and as for walking, it gets easier the more often I do it and so I do try to go every day. Always makes me feel better and one of the benefits of being in recovery at this time of year is that I can still get a walk in daylight. 

Take care of you and keep walking - love and hugs Mickey xx ️

Hi Lisa,
