Hi folks
New to this whole cancer forum game, not to mention the whole cancer crap!
Not sure what I’m expecting or looking for but thinking this might be a useful place to empty my head when it’s filled with rubbish.
I’ve got a great supportive wife and network of friends for which I’m really happy and grateful- but have promised them all not to be a cancer bore or fundraising menace!!
I’ve joined the humour group ‘cos that helps me to laugh at this ludicrous situation that I have arrived in.
This space might do to park (bloody hate that management speak crap that I had to put up with before I retired) or dump stupid or squirrelly thoughts.
Main bugbear at moment is having to call myself disabled when we go to pubs, restaurants, theatre etc so I can get in on my sticks or wheelchair 
I’m not bloody disabled I’m just slow, vulnerable and like a Dalek I can’t do steps!
Joined the pet group as well ‘cos I really miss talking my 2 Shelties for long walks over the hills, beaches, rivers etc on my own.
And don’t get me started on indignities like compression stockings!!
Keep laughing at this bastard disease
Thanks tvman
Not really a predicament just getting used to it all - wheelchair works OK.
Have seen 3 wheelers and powered all terrain beasts which look great, none of them would cover the kind of terrain or walks that I used to love, as did the dogs. Just a case of changing expectations and limitations- like you just pleased to be able to carry on with life.
Take care
, I loved to walk along a beach for hundreds of metres, up mountains (I'm fairly close to the Mourne Mountains, we can see them from the house), there's a little lake two fields away from the back of the house. Some day I want to get an ATV chair to get to those places, I won't be walking but that's life, I'm still around
