Walking back to Happiness

Dear AnnJac, 

how incredibly frustrating! I do hope someone, somewhere, somehow, has some magic for you.....

great photos, all! Have none to add, I didn’t really walk! And won’t be doing much more than round a supermarket tomorrow either......(yes we are running out of stuff!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNYONE! 

Glad to see you looking happy! A lovely photo!

Hi,Lovely....so sorry your wound isn’t healing.Has anyone considered skin graft?I may be way off the mark there...am not a GP...but ....it seems so wrong that it is going in the opposite direction....it was just a thought anyway...

HappyFeet1...just getting in the water is nice it diesnt matter really if your cossie bit tight.I was never a “sporty” type...but my twin bro and sister persuaded me to get excercise and it is true that is does make you feel good,and also after a while I found that I actually WANTED to do it....a-m-azing....

thankyou for asking...have been sorting a few ugly things out a bit,which have been happening,and had a pretty dire week last week,but lovelywas asking and I thought I would come back in and say Hi.

My big bro has been having full body scan and head scan and biopsies and lots been going on with him and I was a very scared for him to be honest...I was finding it hard to keep my end up here.

Lovely to see you all again and your lobely photos....Xxxxx

You look great , and happy birthday! Xxx

Lovely outdoor swim today, had the pool to myself for most of the time. Rained quite a bit but don't care, I'm wet anyway! Wish I could take a pic, but don't like to leave my phone around the pool xxxxx

Violetsniff - lovely to hear from you.  So sorry your brother is having all these tests and do hope all OK.  Plastic surgeon had thought I would heal without skin grafts but i will be talking to him about it again on Wednesday.  I do have concerns that I would also struggle to heal from skin grafts particularly the donor site.  But that maybe easier to manage than boob?

- outdoor swimming in the rain!  There must be something quite surreal about that.  And relaxing.  Sounds really good.

Hi all,

AnnJac, I too wondered about skin grafts, and if they would ‘take’ as well.

Violetsniff, good to hear from you but so sorry you’re going through anxiety for your brother...

Seaspirit, swimming in the rain? Well, you’re already wet so why worry as long as there’s a big fluffy dry towel waiting for you! It’s a way of getting a quiet pool to yourself too, as somehow folk don’t realise it’s a bit of fun!

I just wanted to pop on and say I’m sorry about your wound problem.You must be so fed up.I had problems with one of my wounds after my last surgery on 31/12 but though deep,it was only a small hole and after 10 weeks of twice weekly visits to clinic with me changing the dressing in between visits,it has now finally healed.they used Flaminol for the last couple of weeks and it finally did the trick. I really hope you can be sorted soon.Sending a hug from one Anne to another 

Aw Thanks .  So glad you have healed now.  I had been using Flaminol but plastic surgeon stopped that.  Thought the wound was too wet.  Everyone i see has different ideas.  But no improvement with the current regime as recommended by plastic surgeon.  It is all disheartening as it is delaying radiotherapy.  

But see what tomorrow brings and I will try and keep busy on the long day ahead.  Hubby gone to play golf on his day off from work - I have ironing and a walk to somewhere.  May drive to local park today and then walk down to river.   

Love to you all xx

So did drive to park and had a walk round.  Managed 40 minutes which is good for me at moment.   Lovely rhodedendrum in bloom.
