    Yessss!!!!

  • Have arrived safely in Port Isaac. BELLA  clearly remembered the place from last time as she barked to come in the front door! Very excited to see her garden......

    One VERY happy dog! It's beautiful here. Sat in the garden listening to birds singing!

    , it's great to see you and more importantly to see how happy you are!

    I had an interesting email from my BCN asking if she could use my email that I sent her for the course she is going on next week! She said what I had written was clearer and far more eloquent than what she could write/say! I am pleased to think it might help other BCN's to see its not just about what medical interventions they can offer but about how these things affect us emotionally! After all those of us with secondaries and those moving on from cancer are supposed to be trying to LIVE with the disease, not die of it!

    I also have an appointment with a lady from the hospice when I get back. She would like to feature my story in the little magazine they do! Trying to show that the hospice isn't just for end of life, which is how people see it. More importantly it's nothing to be scared of!

    Right my friends I will leave you now and enjoy the sunshine for a bit. Catch up with you later. Sending love and hugs to those who need them! Xxxxx

  • Have a wonderful time LondonLass, you deserve it xxx

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

  • Well, yay! Things seem to be working a bit better around here now!!

    I know I'm going to miss a few things, but I'll try to pick up the highlights!!

     that is excellent news!!

     woohoo!! Enjoy your new home, and the grandkids!!

    There were a couple of needs for hugs too,  and anyone else

    Ooh, that posted an icon. Let's see if it loads the picture

  • I think i have an appointment Thursday, i am sure there was something i had to remember. But if i can then i will try to meet up in Manchester, what time and where? No promises though as during the week lately has been rather hectic. But if i cant make it I hope you all have a wonderful time.

  • Well even the beautiful Cornish Air, hasn't helped me sleep! Maybe it takes a few days!! Or perhaps more pain meds is the answer!!

    So true! Have absolutely no signal on O2!! But who cares the scenery really is worth looking at! 

    Night night all xxxxx

  • You enjoy the beautiful scenery in Cornwall I understand the not sleeping at the moment keep getting insomnia but I probably fall back asleep very soon. Remember to park your worries at the border you deserve some escape from them even if only for a short time. 

    I go to the hospice locally and it helps me, it’s helping me deal with alot of things. I get some relaxation therapy and I enjoy doing the arts and crafts and i am getting more confidence in my ability with my painting, still abit hit and miss with sucess but starting to get more constistance with it. 

    Sending you a gentle hug

    Good Morning All, can't post a picture... I thought site would be fixed by now.

    Thank you all for the good wishes you've sent me. I've read back a couple of pages and got to Sal London Lass post about no-one posting and it stopped me. Why... because I felt a little guilty about posting about my new start in life. I felt I shouldn't go on too much when people were still having problems and in pain etc. I was only going to pop on now and again but that post made me think twice.

    I found the diary I'd kept from diagnosis and one of the things in it was how (before I started posting) how much I just read and looked at this thread, how it made me laugh at my lowest points, how it made me hope when I saw people getting through things and how everyone was so willing to help each other through thick and thin. So now I hope I can do the same. I might be feeling so much better but I still have pain (under control) and I still need you fruit loops. So you're stuck with me boring you!

    I wish I was dishonest!  Just had a yodel delivery knock on door.. wrong name not me, right address so he took it back...a WHOLE case of red wine!!  Blast honesty !

    So today.... Dreamthief I'm going to plant all the ones I dug up! Surprised that all my plants survived the journey, not one petal shed! It's been drizzly rain for a couple of days now so ideal time. Got toddler overnight so looking forward to that, must remember to take some energy pills. I've got her a little gardening set and her own plant to mess with, she'll love it. Then we'll have a couple of beers, watch the footie, dvd, pizza and bed. Slight smile

    Have a good day everyone.

    Optimistic.. can't leave you alone for 5 minutes! You're just greedy wanting the mouth camera now! Told you I've had every orifice done except nose. Just another hurdle to jump. When I went to gp before I left I had a slight back pain, just old age he said. You forget not everything is cancer but because of all the scans etc it's ruled out, so look at any test as good, try not to worry, cross the bridge IF ever you GET to it.
