I just want to say thank you and tell you that I felt so much better after all of your words of encouragement, kindness and wisdom. I made a special effort this week to get dressed up every day as I used to.. make-up and hair, even wore my mountain biking shorts although I can't mountain bike for at least a while!!! I've been planting flowers, cooking and as much as I can..housework. it's my birthday today as I've told you. I've had a lovely day but I've took it easy as I have two days of surprise parties (nothing gets past me) haha. Still have a major running to the loo problem but it's not going to be a problem for me at my celebrations (family) . Thank you again xxxx Marie
Hi Marie (Mecca),
I’m so pleased you’re feeling a bit better now. It’s always good to get back to doing something that you enjoy. I would always feel better when I got up & made an effort, I would feel better putting a bit of make-up on even if it was just to walk the dog. Happy birthday & enjoy the rest of your celebrations.
Nicola
That’s great news Marie! Happy birthday and enjoy all of it! The best thing about illness is that you really appreciate feeling well…
Makeup - what’s that? I’ve been trying to wear earrings again but it’s been so long that the holes have almost healed up. Should I blame cancer or lockdown?
I have played table tennis at my club 3 times this week, just an hour each time, & it’s amazing to have fun again & still be able to walk 5 miles the next day xxx toni
