Holiday....what holiday?

1 minute read time.

Tomorrow is a special day for me...it will be a year to the day since Ireturned to work and what a year it has been. It took a while to settle back in, but have hadan "easier" timetable,so it hasn't been too tiring. Of course, things don't always run smoothly I discovered the cancer had so enjoyed living in my body it was reluctant to move out completely and spread to my bones, but it isn't a big deal I can live with it. (As long as it behaves itself!) The driving lessons I stated in October and going reasonably well, my instructor keeps coming each week and I am beginning to enjoy them, especially as it takes me to parts of town I cannot reach by public transport.  Driving up to Rivington on Friday was quite hairy but did see the sea and Blackpool Tower on the horizon. It's half term and my grandchildren are staying and I had planned lots of days out, the sea side, Styal Mill, swimming. Oh it was going to be such fun. But the best laid plans of mice and men....... I have managed to fall at the swimming baths, well rather a slip and slide and have broken a toe and chipped two other bones in my foot.  I  am now hobbling around, managing also to deal with the stairs but cannot get my foot into a shoe. All trips off, driving lessons halted for a couple of weeks and yet another hospital appointment tomorrow, not to see an oncologist but to see an orthopedic chap!!!

    Oh poor you, sounds really painful. You obviously enjoy having appointments at the hospital lol.

    I am approaching the 1st year anniversary of my diagnosis and goodness me the time has gone quickly. I work at the hospital and returned to work there last week..........oh how the memories of 12 months ago came flooding back. It makes me realise how far I have come and I'm sure you feel the same about your year. So celebrate your anniversary. perhaps not with alcohol if you're taking any painkillers. Here's to the next 12 months!!

    Hi Ya Jazz,

    It just goes to show you one day at a time you dont know whats going to happen, Just when things where going well this happens. The good point is your toe will heal,and you will be able to get back on track again.The sooner the better.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

  • What a shame! Hope your grandchildren are old enough to run around and do things for you - like peeling you a grape lol!

    Perhaps you will be tap dancing again by the summer holidays?

    Best wishes,
