Thanks Nev, Happy Christmas to you too x

Once in a while the never ending health problems do get to me, this is one of those times. On the plus side, last year I almost needed to have my foot amputated but I was lucky. So it could have been worse, at least I still have both my feet. Happy Christmas everyone x

All done & dusted. 15 days in hospital & I’m finally free. Time to recover & adjust to my new appendage, then get back to gym because lost so much strength due to the surgery. Been an awful year, beginning with the loss of my stepfather & ending with loss of my bladder. Hoping next year is better 🤞

Perfect antidote to waking and not feeling so good. Hearing a knocking on the ward window and it’s some seagulls asking if there’s any leftovers from our breakfasts. Mood instantly lifted 🥰

🤞

Out of HDU so that’s good (missing my little room though). Having to accept it’s going to be a long recovery - no gym for 3 months 😩. Think cancer restricted to bladder but waiting for histology to have a nose and confirm. If chemo is needed it’s needed - not really a choice. Thanks for asking ❤️

You were able to pay for it, why not?! If mine hadn’t been so big and needed specialist post op care (and ex paid for it 😂) I would do the same. It’s our health, we look after it best way we can. Doesn’t affect my sympathy at all. Hope it went well with the Doc this evening xx

Oh no I’m sorry, it can really throw you when things don’t quite go as planned. I hope they get the nasty pain sorted quickly so you can get on with your recovery. ❤️

Been thinking about you, hope all went well and you don’t feel too bad. Sending love ❤️

Surgery went well, took about 9 hours! So hard for family waiting for updates. Once they’ve got pain and sickness under control they’ll get me out of bed - hopefully tomorrow. Will be thinking of you tomorrow afternoon, hope all goes well for you. Sending love xx

Thank you Yanny ❤️

It’s a good thing to focus on. Sending love to you too Yanny x

Have a lovely weekend! As you asked to be kept updated - my surgery is Monday. Like you with your surgery, I just want it over. x

Hope all goes well xx

Ooh nice, have a great time!

Thank you Tom, just got date for my surgery. 3 weeks today! Don’t know yet if will need chemo too, obviously hoping not 🤞. I hope you are keeping well? x

I’ve been meaning to tell you this for ages but you have influenced me! I have a PT and have been going to gym 3 times a week for past few months. Uses up all my money but boy do I feel the difference. So thank you, years of seeing you in your Lycra has had a positive effect!

Oh no, that does make me sad.

❤️

Thank you Yanny, already knew I had one of them (diagnosed not long ago) but today’s news was a shock. At least foot has stayed healed so not contending with that too, silver linings and all that. x

Going to use this space to vent. Only know a couple of people on here so basically talking to the void.
Today I have been diagnosed with not one but two forms of bladder cancer. So in a few weeks they will be removing it. Going to take a bit of time to process this… (will probs delete this later).

What a powerful final message ❤️

My flat is my 26th home, I used to love the excitement of looking & buying a new place. This time feels different, I have to move due to the increasing disability. I’ve no ties here either (Tara in Vancouver at uni and plans to stay there). Am looking at Scotland now, back to where I was born.

❤️❤️

Love the idea of terraniums but no idea where to start

I hate how much they cost and so was tempted to try non OralB - won’t bother now. Thank you, I am a fan of the scoured feel.

To the best step father a girl could have wished for, I’ll miss you. I’m not a religious person but I like to think that you are with the woman you adored, my Mum ❤️

Happy Birthday, hope you have a wonderful day. xx
