Dragging trolley onto new thread.

Thanks for the supportive messages and yes amber we need a cyber get together. Today has been different again. The kids have been fine and my lunch was lovely. Have managed a fees hours peace tonight too as Dh is on his last night shift.

Some great news here today ..... Makes me smile :)

[reallyreallyworried]

So I'm still awake I just can't settle tonight!

I'm getting more and more nervous about the surgery, and the drain, and the 'what ifs' all those stupid thoughts that pop in to your head, and worry you!

Anyway I should try and sleep again! If I don't get chance to come on here again, in the morning. Hope everyone has a great couple of days and I will hopefully catch up with you all, again soon.

Take care xxxx

Hope you got back to sleep really yay for ct results and all the best for later. I can't sleep either, think I'm not exercising enough and my shoulder is painful.
Waves to everyone! Going to try and get back to sleep now.

[amberlight]

really, good luck!
Jchoc, painful shoulder not good. Hope you both got more sleep.

[reallyreallyworried]

Thanks jchoc and amber I've had forty winks here and there! But basically still awake! Probably go off soundly now and then be woken by my alarm!

Oh well the sooner the day is over the better.

Hope your shoulder feels better soon jchoc xx

[BetsyBoop]

Good luck really

why do I wake at 5 a bloody clock every morning!

[Gigondas]

Lots of luck really. I hear you betsey about 5am waking (no mini gig today so just me). I woke up in pain as rolled onto bad arm . How can I stop myself doing this?


Thanks for fab holiday tips. We decided to spend while time in Paris tesco and make most of that so will be planning lots of trips. Big gig getting into museums so should be fun.

Kurri and pigeons - nodded to your posts on JS. Cancer changes your perspective and sense of self. There is no point pretending it doesn't.

Morning all

Good luck really you'll be fine will be thinking of you x

Gigs and Jchoc boo to sore arms and shoulders
Morning Betsy

Still got vile taste in my mouth and my tongue has this yellow coating, is this thrush and do I need to get something for it or will it just go in a few days do you think ? Always get the funny taste but I'm not sure about the tongue !

[malteserzz]

Have rang the chemo helpline and she's advised me to go to my gp and get some anti fungal tablets so I'll do that this morning

[Gigondas]

Hope it sorts it out quickly as that's last thing you need malt.

[kitkat1967]

Ruby - I'm not surprised you feel lost & are having a wobble - you have been through so much plus now leaving home. Hang in there and make sure you get as much support as you can.

Malt - this is very unlike you!! - you are usually super chemo woman - hopefully you GP can sort you out.

I have my last "pump up' this evening - good job as I look like a lopsided body builder at the moment - surely cannot get much bigger! Then tomorrow have my first Paclitaxel - will be a big countdown as it is number 1 of 9!

And finally good luck to Really

Did manage to get a.couple more houra and on bus to work now so a bit earlier than recently. Ruby its not surprising after the year you've had that you feel homesick, keep doing the yoga and once your course is underway you will feel better. Gigs [green] of your tesco trip. I could do with a break from work now its autumn.
Will put a on when I get to work. Dd2's school is on strike so I shouldn't have given her an alarm call!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

good morning ! apologies for absence,just busy and doing stuff -fidn't mean to abandonm you all.
Hooray for clear ct ~really and loads of good thoughts for op today.
Waves to everyone else as can't catch up -but will go and read the JS things- I think she is a bit snotty-just remembering her coming into Richmond Waterstone's and being so,when I worked there. hnd your experience of bc,particularly the horrors you've been through with surgery are every bit as valid as anyone else's-cancer is cancer,whatever type. Am guessing she's saying it's not such a big deal `? hmm.
Am feeling better today - had been feeling pretty weedy and unwell but seem to have perked up. Swimming later - need to get serious as have signed up for 5k swimathon in March
gig I second of third Suffolk Tesco - Walberswick or southwold (am not keen on Aldeburghthough it has lots of shops and cafes and whatnot-and a cinema- seems a bit up itself and dh and I always seem to get cross there) Southwold has much more charm. And I do love Dorset !

[malteserzz]

Ruby it's not surprising you feel a bit lost it's a huge change for you, hope you have some nice flat mates ? Take small steps to settling in and give it time

Jchoc I've got 1 off school and 1 who's had to go so he's been moaning all morning ! Dd going out for lunch with a big group of her friends, after a big lie in of course

I've got a gp appointment at 9, now I'm thinking maybe it's nothing and I should just put up with it but will see what they say.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

ooer- thread is running out,so push the trolley over here
