Carry on being left of centre you speak so much sense. The amount of posts that go on here after midnight myself incuded I think some of us will be trying meditation too soon. Sorry the lurgy is still hanging around. Would it be worth seeing GP again to ask if anything else they can give you? Surgery-wise I know they do still operate if temperature ok but generally not if you've got chest infection or anything on those lines. Few days to go yet so will be praying for you to wake up feeling much better. Sounds like your sister is struggling and I know you must worry about that and your brother-in-laws diagnosis. Life certainly likes to save up bad stuff to throw at us all at once but you are remarkable so please look after yourself during this rough patch. Your posts are always so positive and funny but if you ever need to have a bloody goods moan we are here.
Actually although I'm posting this at 4.50 am it's somewhat of a triumph. I came to bed at 9.pm with Libby, read for an hour (was still on vomit watch but she's fine) so have slept 10-4.40 which is best Ive done in ages. Only awake cos of cramp so hoping I'll get few more hours once it passes. Still have that "thumpy" feeling in my stomach when wake up each day when breast cancer pops into my head but getting better at distracting myself and getting back to sleep.
Enjoyed Strictly final, won't say more as I imagine Jackie has recorded it.
Think we will give swimming a miss in the morning to be on safe side following the bug but Libby was double booked anyway so can now make it to all of a friend's party. Local church carols by candlelight tonight which I'm looking forward. Have said this before I'm not particularly religious but feel a bit drawn to church at the moment. I think it's just a nice calm environment and helps pull out the more spiritual side of me (which I usually don't give much time to.)
Sorry you had a bad day yesterday Bigguy, so much to deal with isn't there? When is your next appointment? My sleep gets worse closer to each appt!. I
Managed to get back off to sleep around 6 and Libbys just woken me up so all in all managed 8 hours which hasn't happened for a while. Wonder of wonder hubby has got up to entertain Lib so I'm having big more of a lie in. Touch wood neither of us showing sign of the bug so reckon if we can get through today we've swerved it...
I managed to get back to sleep around 6.30 to. This site is really comes into it’s own in the small hours doesn’t it?? We could never “chat” to friends at stupid o’clock but there’s usually someone around in our phone.Â
My sleep also gets worse near appointments, too much stuff in our heads I guess. I’ve got an appointment with the Chemo nurses on Wednesday so I guess I’m worrying about that. I write questions down as I think of them but things still pop into my head.Â
You’re right about the cancer thump in your tummy as soon ad you wake up.Â
Hope you’re having a good day. I’m going to cook a roast inamin...perfect excuse for a cheeky sherry!!Â
Quiet on here yesterday and overnight, which I'm taking to be a good thing as it hopefully means we were all doing nice weekend things and that we slept well.
Nothing to report from Jammy land really. Libby bounced back from her but super quickly so we had a nice day yesterday and enjoyed the carol service last night. I've had couple of better sleeps. Trying to forget about surgery next week but got that constant nagging feeling which it takes all my energy to overcome. Woke up wondering what chemo will be like, should I try col cap and a million other thoughts. Also a little anxious about having the drain in after the op for 5 days especially as it'll be New Years weekend. Its put paid to our usual New Years trip to in-laws where they host a lovely family party....it'll be us 3 and my drain at home this year! They are wanting to cancel their party as don't want to have it without us know so feel guilty about that, even though I know it's not my fault...
Apologies for my Monday morning ramblings. Waiting for Libby and hubby to wake up so can get on with being busy and focus on this week.
Hope everyone has a good start to the week. Hoping Ali still doing ok 6 days post chemo, Leoladys lurgy has finally gone so surgery can go ahead, Jolly gets some definite news from BCN re next steps (if any) and wishing Bigguy all the best for appointment with chemo nurses this week. Also looking forward to hearing from Jackie about her weekend away, if she hasn't run off into the sunset with Mickey Mouse that is!
Sorry I stood you up last night!! My pillow was actually quite friendly and let me rest!! I woke up a few times but not for long enough to look at phone. I dreamed about work (long term sick meeting today) a lot which was wierd.
It’s a shame your outlaws won’t have thier party without you, it’s sad you can’t go but it does make you feel guilty. With my outlaws and parents, it’s very much “business as usual”!!Â
Thanks for apppintment good wishes, hate the waiting :-(
Hope you have a good day JammyG, this time of year is so special with little ones. You’re doing so well.
Thinking of everyone else with appointments this week.Â
just a quick pop in as about to head out the door, but had to share this as thought it might cheer up your monday mornings.........
So get up and get dressed for work, bra on, knitted knocker in place, top on for the day, hair brushed etc etc (yes did have pants and trousers on!) IN bathroom brushing said hair, check appearance in mirror, check bust line in top to make sure knitted knocker sitting right, decide that it was looking a bit flat and shelf like at the top, so run hand over it to even the shape out, only to then realise that it was my actual boob I was trying to 'reshape' and my non boob side was the one that looked 'normal'
and I'll leave you there.......
have a good day one and all, will catch up properly later on when time permits as it's tennis night
