Telgirls dance with cance.....24

1 minute read time.

Had a crap night, felt lousy and quite a lot of pain but refused to take any pain killers because in my head that would mean I am going backwards and thats not allowed.

Woke up feeling just as rough so just bumbled about all morning then took son to nursery (he had to go as it was the second performance of their christmas production which I was due to attend) then back and had a lie down to see if that helped. Time was ticking away and fast running to the time I would need to leave to get to the nursery on time. I seriously considered not going but then gave myself a perverbial kick up the rear and reaslised that this was not about me, it was my sons first christmas play and I had to be there, so deep breaths and out into the cold and off to nursery  I trotted.

The christmas play turned out to be a performance of Snow White and the 7 Dwarves (am I missing something here), where was the manger, donkeys, wise men........The performance was brilliant with the wicked queens husband refusing to get up and say his lines and throwing his crown on the floor and then all the kids aged 3-4 sang crimbo songs and my eyes filled and throat tightened and I was so glad that I had forced myself to go this is what its all about, wouldnt have missed it for the world.

Back home now and after a soak in the tub still feel rough but not as, so hopefully antibiotics are kicking in and tomorrow will be a much better day.

take care love Terri xxx

    hi Terri, dont feel taking painkillers is going backwards, although i understand where you are coming from. It may be what you need to get a comfortable, restful nights sleep and feel more regenerated for the next day. Glad you enjoyed the play, the simple things in life are such a blessing.

    take care

    You bloke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least that's what us blokes think, but now I am in touch with my feminine side I take painkillers when I need them. It might be macho but it is not big, clever or going backwards to go without. it is common sense to take them when you need them.

    Oh where oh where can I get shoes to match my

    stoma bag?

    keep smiling

    love

    Have given in to my girlie side and taken some painkillers so hopefully will get a better nights sleep tonight. Drew you make me laugh and i must remember to put my little bit of macho back in my bag lol and if you cant find shoes to match your stoma how about designing your stoma to match your shoes.

    So glad you changed your mind Terri! We must listen to our body and give it what it needs. No shame in taking whatever it wants. Mine needs food sadly, wish it didn't need as much. Take care lots of love Julie xx
