AWAKE.........

Yes we need a Manchester meet. I’m probably not a good advert for reconstruction as it’s taken 4 surgeries and nearly 2 years to get to where I am now. I could carry on with more if I wanted a ‘better finish’ I guess but I have had enough.i May have a nipple done as that’s simple but sometimes I wish I had never bothered with any of it as I feel I’ve wasted so much time and because of the recovery times after each procedure meaning I couldn’t lift my babies,I haven’t been able to work properly since May 16.I’m now not even sure I want to start again as I dreaded the paperwork involved and the Ofsted visits (apologies to any inspectors) before but I feel my confidence has gone so much as I would miss the little ones I have thought about doing something else.trouble is I don’t know what.there’s no way I could go back into nursing either as it’s been too long and I’m too old to retrain .maybe a local nursing home as a health carer  or something since I worked with the elderly when a staff nurse. I need to sort myself out I really do

So pleased , you can relax now xxx

Thanks for your implant input moomy and and you do great with your job it's much more than I do I really need to sort myself out ! Xxx

Good news about the mammo    About thinking about the carer jobs, I'm sure they would snap you up but most places make you work 12 hour shifts and it is horse work. Also don't think it would be the end of paperwork because they would make you do online mandatory training, (hours of work usually unpaid) and also NVQ training which is a massive file. But as I said you would very easily get a job, maybe if you insisted on 6 hour shifts and told them no way would you be doing NVQ xxx

Absolutely loving the stories about Lucky Pants, the activities that guinea pig get's up too !! and the uniforms!! Graham and Bertie thinks he is their hero xx

Yes and Optimistic we need a Manchester meet up, I will sort the pair of you out xxx

Hi,

I think LP looks great in his uniform. Can he have it for tomorrow when I go for my chemo?

I think the nurses will be impressed. They have Cadbury`s chocolate at the unit, so I am certain he will be given a tiny piece.

Luv Scilly x

Yes Mancunians, let's have a meet! Xxx

just wanted to wish you all the best for your Chemo today. How are you getting on with it? Not too many side effects I hope! How’s your daughter getting along with hers? I hope you have been able to support each other. It must be very hard for both of you! 

Anyway here is your little buddy to keep you company.....

He will arrive wearing whatever you wish him too! Just have a look in his bag. He has some very interesting outfits, which will hopefully make you smile. Thinking of you Hun! Xxx

, and  I hope you are all plodding along okay with your continuing treatment. Even if you aren’t posting as much we are still thinking of you and hoping that you are keeping away from the dreaded Hotel BHS

Sending Love and Hugs to you all and , I am very proud of all of you. Such Special ladies and more importantly Special Fruit Loops! Xxxxx

Hope everyone else is doing okay. Manchester Ladies, you know you can feel free to start a meet up for all the Fruit Loops instead of just your little group? I’m sure others would be interested! Unless you just wanted one on your own. Sending lots of Love to you all xxx

Yep, I am struggling on ! Blisters on bottom of feet are healing but still dressed . Oncologist told me to wear open toe sandals but I don’t feel I can inflict my ulcerated toes and black loose nails on the public ...I am wearing them with socks ! Strange thing this week , been very itchy , then skin around my eyes sort of fell off ...firee exfoliation   !

had a couple of meals out , been on one ( short ) organised walk , did some pruning in the garden , got 8 boxes of greenery to take to the recycling centre this am . Will do that today , then swim , having usual coffee morning tomorrow, then we are in to another weekend, am I the only one who thinks time flies ? Soon be the longest day !

sal ....how are you ... ?

best wishes to all .....keep on keeping on .....!

Wow where do you find the energy!! I feel wiped out just reading that!! I’m doing okay thank you. Just off to hydrotherapy this morning, sadly it’s my last session. But at least I am armed with exercises that I can now continue to do when I go swimming. 

Totally agree, time really does fly. But I think it’s partly because we go from one appt to the next. Xxx

Hi fruit loops. Had a lovely lunch with Jenny (grannylara) , Kathy and our lovely hubbies. Sal (londonlass) thank you for the hug. Big news from me is that we have booked flights for new Zealand andustralia in January and February. Our goddaughter is going to show us the beautiful country she made her home
