foofoo yay for iPad! I'm sure you'll love it. My parents bought me one before my bowel surgery as I wouldn't have been able to use my laptop for 12 weeks after and I absolutely love it. It made such a difference being able to contact people when I was stuck on the sofa for weeks :)
KK I hope your shoulder is feeling better and you managed to get heat on, careful not to hurt other side twisting round! And the watercolour class sounds really fun.
I had this rather romantic notion that my chemotherapy would just be like a six month convalescence type thing where I'd eat delicious but very healthy morsels, learn languages, read all the books I've been meaning to, do painting (I even bought a book about painting flowers!), do yoga, pamper myself... Yeah right! 
I've had an okay day, still having pains so glad that bowel nurse has said I should be able to have procedure on Monday despite tonsillitis (has nearly cleared up I think) but a bit 
she says it might be under sedation not GA. I had "sedation" for my colonoscopy but was wide awake and perfectly aware of all their 
faces :(
Went for a walk this afternoon in woodlands at a local NT place but then on the way back I threw up my lunch 
which I managed not to do in public all through chemo, luckily no one around but had to bury it under sticks and soil 
longtimelurker nice to see you! No word from DiddyLady yet but it's quite early days I suppose and often new people seem to not post much at first. I must reply to your PM
really I hope the pain has eased, glad the extra bra helped, and that all is normal. Definitely make notes like gigs suggested while pain is still fresh in your mind as by Monday you may not remember quite how bad it is and might end up minimising it, if you're anything like me!
MAS I'm glad you got to see the onc, did you ask to see him in the end or was it just luck? Good to get your questions answered :)
gigs have a fabulous time in Paris!
Waving to everyone else, I hope you're all well x
