now unsure .....
I have had a couple of bad nights since last post, I should not need pain killers but find I do at least overnight. Nothing worse than waking un-needed with aches and spikey pains.
I am now glad I turned down offer of transport to night out Monday (not in town and too far away) Now I am in two minds over curry night out tomorrow in town. Stupid, feeling scared, huh? I am managing the odd trip out into town and social groups, but this will be my first 'night out' since the surgery. I havent had a drop of the hard stuff and am half fearful of throwing up. Well, I will keep you posted .....

A full month later
It is only a month since I underwent the cancer surgery, good grief where has the time gone - and how the time drags at the same time.
Take it easy I am told from every direction. Easier said than done, believe me. I FEEL fine, I have lots more energy than ever, but I am confined. Travel - that I love so much even short distances - is now severely curtailed for the next few months. Travelling with even healing/healed wounds is not a good idea until I am more or less over the whole follow on process.
I want to be out and about, taking trips to Newcastle, Sunderland and the MetroCentre, to start early Christmas shopping. I know full well I won't be able to do so once the crowds appear. But it was an eye opener getting to the hospital in Gateshead early morning in the rush hour. Not recommended.
The very short trips into town will have to suffice for now, I just need someone to sit and share the coffee with over a long afternoon. Ah, coffee, what a good idea ..... now to carefully load the kettle with just enough so I can lift it safely lol

Great North Run
Brilliant as always. I watched from start to finish on TV in comfort. My niece's hubbie to be completed it in 4.5 hours - not bad considering he is no runner really. He has raised some £1,400 for charity.
Hubbie went into town 3pm - walked there and back - he said the place was still heaving with sweaty bodies with relays of buses and Metro taking people back up to Newcastle. I said what a day to find there were no chips at the back of thd freezer when we needed them!
Well done everyone, I hope you aren't too sore today.

where did the week go .....
It's Monday again, time is flying and my memory is flying with it lol
I am still sore, bruising that cannot be seen still coming up in patches. Yuk. Time to see the consultant tomorrow for the first of I do not know how many implant top-ups.
Christmas shopping already come to mind, hohoho, will be mainly on line this year I think. I am looking at several charity sites and unusual gift ideas. Well, for once I should be in to greet the postie instead of being out in the crowds and big rush!
Anyone thinking of stocking fillers - the Magical Wall series is suitable for 9 plus years. Never mind the not politically correct grammar in places, they are all excellent reads.

Has anyone got any ideas for a new story? My muse is currently well asleep and I need to start writing again. I need to start getting out to groups again for that matter, just not up to it at the moment. Recovery from jajor surgery sucks, but getting there slowly. I suppose I had best concentrate on getting back on the diet! I have been comfort eating for a whole month, but I haven't put weight back on which is good news.

Another misty Monday
Weather misty and damp, glad to be inside for now. Not that recovering from magor surgery is keeping me indoors anyway in the main.
I ITCH. I am gold this is good, it shows the wound is healing. I wish it would calm down! Another week before I go for initial reconstruction start up, it's a long time when you are waiting. I seem to be sailing freely at the moment though and don't want my little boat rocking with complications.
For anyone going through this roller-coaster ride called breast cancer, my comiserations and healing vibes. Stay positive! If I can beat this thing, YOU can! It still feels surreal, I have not been given the chance to dwell on any of it, just as well I suppose.
Know what will make my day? Buy a book, lol. There are lots to choose from.
