Footwear can be a tricky one, @baldiesrus and @poppy261 . Iā ve had a lot of luck in the past with Rieker, very nicely made shoes, loads of choice, comfortable, lightweight yet sturdy. Iā ve still got loads of pairs but because of my spine I now need something with a raised heel/back otherwise itās impossible to walk far at all. Skechers Slip-Ins work for me but they can be expensive. And they tend to look like Granny Shoes . And not really winter- friendly.
You managed to slow that mustang down yet, @poppy261 ? Youā ve got a lot to think about but thereā s time now, while you concentrate on getting the Rad out of the way. One bite at a time, like eating an elephant.
Youā re coming to terms with Letrozole, which is one of the really significant ones for post-menopausal oestrogen-positive women, so youā ve kind of ticked that off. Bisphosphonatesā¦again, youā ve almost decided itā s not going to make any huge change to your situation, so that one is clearer in your mind. The CDK 4/6 ones are perhaps the most worrying for many of us and appear to carry most risk, so they do need considered thought and deeper discussion. But youā re getting there. The elephant is diminishingā¦.long may it contine to do so.
Steroid Rush over, alas, but I never stopped yesterday! Bonkers. Cleaned, cooked, scrubbed, tidied..oh, yes , and rescued a saucy silver-eyed Jackdaw that had fallen down the chimney into the flue pipe of the wood burner. That involved husband taking stove to bits while I opened windows, closed doors, shifted houseplants from sillsā¦.and managed to catch, pinion, check and release Jacky once s/heād stopped panicking. Flew off into trees, unscathed. Plus it managed to clean the chimney on itā s way down, so that was a bonus. Why do these dramas and unexpected events occur on my one day a week of almost-normality? Itā s every blasted Thursday!
Am away now, otherwise Iā ll be sending you all back to sleep. Where is everybody? Wherever you are, lovely girls, I hope youā re coping as best you can, and getting on with all these post, or near post-chemo treatments and managing to jump through the many hoops they throw at us.
Sending love.
