Well, apart from the soreness in my arm, we have had a lovely few days. We went to the New Forest for a short break and I got to relax, go for walks and eat well! I was due to have a massage but the beautician said that with a blood clot it's not a good idea, and it's not always good if you are undergoing chemo as well. Something to do with it gets the blood circulation flowing, which isn't great. Oh well. I had reflexology instead which was nice but not the same.
It was also the first time I have been totally out in public with headscarves - have been into town for an hour or so before this, but this was pretty much in public for 3 days straight. I caught people kind of looking but didn't get any gawping stares!! But a majority of people took absolutely no notice which is nice to see.
