Well im on the stepping stones to feeling almost human again! The staples came out on Friday,all 24 of them,i know they call it keyhole surgery but what kind of keys do they expect to fit through my scars?? One is about 3 or 4 inches long!!!!
Ive bought big cottons pants as im weraing "normal" clothes again but i cant stand the thought of any of my scars getting caoght in my zips or the fabric from jeans ect rubbing them,my daughter is horrified at the size of them and had begged me not to put them on the washing line....sher is just worried the neighbours thing there hers!
Its my birthday Monday and im actually looking forward to it this year,ive made it to 35 in almost one piece,a few bumps bruises and battles scars along the way but im here! Ive been spoiled, already after my op i think i ended up with 10 bunches of gorgeous flowers,loads of chocolates,cards,and the best of all loads of visitors,shame it takes someothing like cancer to make us all catch up with friends family ect.
Went for girly lunch yesterday with a friend,my mum and my daughter and my mum treated me to a v expensive foundation for my birthday (hands off Katie!!) i got two proper bras in debenhams sale and bought some yummy cupcakes from M and S..naughty i know!
Bf had gone away out shopiing alone and had booked me a manicure and treatment for my birthday which i think is much needed and its so sweet of him to go do that alone.He has been absolutly fabby these past few months and i dont know where id be without him,even though he drives me nuts at times!
Managed to take the dogs out yesterday on leads for the first time since op which was enjoyable but im almsot positive that my old favourite dog didnt pull me at all as she almost knows there is something not quite right about me just now,she is so sweet that when i get up during the night to go to the loo she comes with me and stands next to me till i go back to bed......devotion for you!
I have been aware since i first strarted using this site that a lot of loved ones have passed away in the last week or so,i dont write to you all or comment on your blogs but i do think of you and the pain you must feel at your loved one loosing the battle.
Trudy,i hope your wee ones tests are nothing more serious than swollen glands,cancer in an adult is almost bearable,children is just awful.
