Hello all. Didn't get a moment to come in yesterday as I spent the day in London, meeting up with a group of lovely friends who I 'met' in a forum over 9 years ago. We meet several times a year and usually end up in Covent Garden. Today I've driven for the first time since the op - no problems although reaching for the indicator was a bit painful as I stretched but I've moved the seat a bit now and it seems ok. So I've managed to run lots of errands that needed doing and treated DS2 to lunch out.
Happy Anniversary to Mr & Mrs MAS.
ILGC, it's been raining all day in Essex but is clearing up now. Fingers crossed for great GCSE grades.
Earth, I had 4 areas of concern plus lymph nodes and was told I needed chemo, then a mx followed by rads. Here I am, 7 months later, recovering from my mx and awaiting rads. 3 lumps have completely been zapped and one tiny one remained and it's gone now. Have a good cry - it will do you good but whatever you do make sure you spoil yourself too on your good days. There are days when it all seems so unreal and "not happening to me" iyswim but they are getting less and less, as is the crying. My DH tries hard not to show how worried he is but I can see through his bravado (we've been together for 40 years, married for 42) but he is a wonderful support in lots of ways.
Sprites sound interesting, KK. Can't wait to see photos of the finished articles.
I'm furious about your neighbour, Sparkle. What a shame he can't have it taken off him. My own son with Downs had a blue badge for years and this year he's been turned down. He doesn't get the high rate mobility (which I think is paramount) but we used to apply under a section for people with learning disabilities called "discretionary blue badge" but they've tightened it up this year obviously. Good luck with your application - I hope it doesn't get too stressful for you.
Hope Amber got on okay this evening with her appointment.
