Hi to all my friends,
Well i thought i would make the effort today and blog to let you know how i am! Am now 4 months post treatment and i can tell you its been a long haul! I am pleased to tell you i feel great at the moment have a "funny" tongue as i call it feels furry and rough all the time and really dry mouth, both of which are unfortunately effects of the treatment. I know though i have come on leaps and bounds since the early days. I am going for monthly check ups and the dr s are pleased with me no lumps and bumps but the dieticians wont let me have my peg out yet as i cant eat a great deal of "normal" food, can have soft things only really, roll on when i can eat steak and chips if ever lol. i wish!!!!!
This monday 15th Feb im having my peg changed over to a button which will be loads better than it dangling all over the place and my clothes will feel better too!
So im quite optimistic and positive at the mo although now i have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder am waiting to see the osteopath, in fact im aching loads around both shoulders and upper back, i asked the oncologist about the frozen shoulder to see if he thought it could be linked but he doesnt think so, i thought god its one thing after another but then i realised im also getting older now and its probs parr for the course lol but i dont like it, i know i have aching on my neck area from the radio but this is ridiculous, tried to take a nurofen tablet and it got stuck had to cough it up so now crushing them to put down the good old PEG it does have its uses. Talking of which i went out last night with my friends again since about 6 months and i popped some archers down my peg naughty naughty, again i cant really take alcohol orally it s a bit strong on my tongue and throat lol but dont tell anyone. Actually, considering i havent drank for months i felt fine managed a voddi and coke too with a struggle but was ok but i had three half waters and ice. I have never dranks so much water, one thing i l have decent skin wont i????? Anyway a good time was had by all and its great therapy for me especially to think a few months ago i was on deaths door or so it felt like, never thought i d see the day to be out with my friends on a friday night!
And guys im on the dating scene again LOL never thought that would happen for years, had some nice dates but no one special yet, calmer calmer i keep saying hes out there somewhere LOL.
Well hope everyone else is as upbeat as me at the moment if not you will be you will get there its time and patience something i dont have very much of!!!! I know its weird but this experience has changed me and i think for the better i seem a nicer person lol not that i was horrible before you understand but its hard to explain you guys will know what i mean im sure, i m nice to everyone now lol even people i didnt care for much before, oh apart from the ex !!!!!!!
Thanks for reading my blog and my love and hugs to you all.
