I was thinking of changing my blog or starting a new one called my wonky world, as it no longer seam to fit " riding the big c roller coaster" as I am now on a new roller coaster "life after cancer"
It's been 7 week since my mastectomy , I really have no issues with looking at my scar as its my battle wound in a fight where I won. Im Slowly getting used to how to wear my clothes and that I have to carry my handbag on the other arm.
I have to go back to the hospital every week at the moment to get my scar sight drained of fluid build up , but I can't feel it and it only takes 20 mins so no biggie .
As most of you know I'm a people person and where I am not looking to go back to work yet I have been finding it hard spending so much time on my own , when mike and Olivia are out for the day.
I was slipping in to the cant be arsed faze and making my self worse by not even going for a costa,
i started a course of having reflexology at st Luke's and I was offered to join a one off group that they do every month called image workshop, I almost did not go as I really could not be arsed to make the effort, but I did and I really enjoyed it. It was a small group of ladies (5) and it was a talk about makeup, I did not come out with may tips that I did not already know and the make up that she used was not for me , but I met a few wonderful ladies and we had a laugh as chemo side effects and a general chat. What I got out of it was that I need to spend less time on my own and I am back putting makeup on again and being arsed to do stuff again.
I joined a gym last week to try to get my fitness back, plus I have signed up for the race for life in June ( i have added my link if you would like to sponsor me ) so i need to pull my finger out
I'm also getting a course of hydrotherapy and I had my first one last week, it was fab and it really made a difference to the movement in my arm.
Yesterday I went to work just to show my face as I do every so often , I went with out my wig on and I also did the school run without it on as well , I'm really pleased I did this but I will not be retiring my jessie yet , 1 its too cold and 2 I just don't think my real hair is girly enough for me yet.
These are all massive mile stone for anyone that has been where I have been and is on the way back up
