Well. Welcome to this thread.

You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.

This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.

It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.

The idea is that you can do any of these or none:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

 

Well here goes.

Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.

Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.

PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.

    Aww, Jacmatholmad, I’ve been far too busy licking my own wounds to realise  that ohers are facing other battles. I’ll keep everything crossed for tomorrow. Hope RT is stronger than seroma and boots it out!! I’m going for wife/mum of the year with pizza lunch!!

    Leolady - thanks for the hug xxx

  • Don't be silly my issues are nothing compared to what youre going through! 

    Im just  very impatient and have realised this journey is not suited to me in more ways than one. I need to go in expecting failure rather than positivity so I don't get knocked down emotionally, which is hard for me! 

    anyway have my teenage girls back today...... I think.......been slobbing in their rooms most of the day! But Sunday night is movie night so they're preparing the food and I'm not, ha ha!

    Hi...well done to all those who did a bit. Didn't go far today. My man wasn't up earlier enough to catch tides right to return to beech and anyway...poor doggie is limping after his exertions yesterday and quite happy to sofa surf.

    A pal is off work Mon and Tues and has offered some man  antidote girl time...dare I leave my man on his own?  : )

    Take care

  • Found this this morning,not sure it is wise for any ladies undergoing surgery to ”eat half” though need your nourishment!!

  • Well,I have been to “Knit and natter” with my friend,and,what do two rather naughty Nurses do when they are supposed to be behaving??(see photos)
