And another funny thing......

  • I can see my feet - progress!

    After my surgery I seem to still be quite bloated and swollen in the lower abdomen. I did have lymph nodes removed on both sides so this is to be expected. But this morning in the shower I suddenly realised when I looked down I could actually see my feet!

    What a sense of achievement this has brought to my day - totally ridiculous! 

    In other news - Macmillan Coffee Morning raised £210.30 which for a tiny village population…

  • Organise a Macmillan Coffee Morning....and get everyone else to do the work!

  • Something funny keeps you going.... doesn’t it?

    I have never written a blog before.

    I don’t do social media.

    I’ve not had cancer before my recent diagnosis.

    So....according to eldest daughter who is seriously into blogging/writing/communicating with the world....now’s the time to start!
