I've been looking at some of the stories on here, and I realise that my situation is not as bad as some others are experiencing ... but i just feel miserable and can't shake myself out of it. I'm usually upbeat and energetic, but had surgery 1 month ago to remove a tumour in my bowel (and also had a hysterectomy and appendectomy), and am now waiting for chemotherapy consultation. I am so down from not being able to do anything; can't drive, work, do housework, ride my horse, go to the gym. mow the lawn, wash the car ... I know I'll be able to do all of those things again soon - but I'm sick to death of knitting, jigsaw puzzles and watching TV. I have an amazing support network ... and I know I really am blessed ... but it's so hard to stay positive and chirpy all the time. What do you all do to keep positive and feel better about your situations? Sorry to be a 'moaning minnie' ...
