Hi all
This is sort of Awake. But there are those days when there isn't enough of anything to make you feel better.
I've walked round Reims in France today. I've had surgery o both feet for arthritis and bunions over the last two years. I was just beginning to think " pain free walking"
5 weeks ago I started on letrozole.
I've done, painkillers, ibuprofen and horror of horrors alcohol.
If I'd known . Two years ago I would never have had all the surgery. Hubby says " but your feet have been sorted'
Cycling ducking materialist.
Don't you just love the spellchecker
I can’t say much, other than today is a New Day! Maybe it will be another tough one, maybe it’ll be a good one, who knows! But you will find a way through it, because together we can get through anything! Now for the important bit........
Take Care Hun xxxxxx
Hey ,
You go ahead and have 'one of those days' - we all do. What you won't think of with all this sh** going on is.....
Your feet are bound to look so, so much better for starters!! (how brave of you to have this operation, my dear Mum (88) has bunions, she's had them for years, her toes are pointing sideways. Mum doesn't like anyone to look at her feet and always tries to hide them. I think if Mum was younger she would of had the operation.
Anyways, back to your feet.....
I imagine your feet look so much better!
I am thinking shoes 'will' fit you a lot better and with this comes...
You are in less pain with the fitting of your shoes than before and
I bet there is a lot of pain/aches that has gone that you aren't thinking about now.
So.... you may of had three lots of pain; your bunion and arthritis pain and then the letrozole pain.
And finally, 'if' is such a big word.... but I wonder 'if' you would never of had the surgery.... if you had gone on letrozole first - I reckon you would of had surgery in hope that the operation would fix the bunions, eased the arthritis and maybe easied the side effects from letrozole.
You have come so far - take it one day at a time and most of all - keep reminding yourself 'this is doing you good - its taking your oestrogen out of your body to help you'. Try and think of the pain as the tablet/letrozole 'working' - if you had no pain you could question if is working.
Okay, I'll run away now I've said it haha.
Hoping you have a better day tomorrow.
Ps. My nephew and his family have just gone to France for a week, not sure where they are staying, I'll have to ask, it looks lovely.
Sending love and hugs xxx
