Up down and around

Hi, I’m not sure if I want to rant or laugh. The past few days have been all of these.
I’m a bit slow on the uptake - and so glad to be out of pain, its taken a while for me to realise this is my life. also realise if the doctor had had a x rax done last Noveber - the cancer would have been caught and I might not have spinal compression. The doctor thought it was funny that because we were both worried about bone cancer - hubby let me have a Main coon cat. I cant wait to see her.
As my mother would have said, I’m a useless mouth. I hate the idea of being a burden, I’m not sure how hubby will cope long time. He was pretty dire when I had breast cancer. The standing joke is that after chemo he took me to Tesco so I could choose what I would cook for his tea. well thats what he done - apart from moaning about the cost of taking me to the hospital.
Turned out , he though if he pretended it was no big deal - it would all go away. Head in the sand comes to mind. He still wont talk about it - but is very good at looking after me.
Anyway this has meant a few sleep less nights - I still dont know how I’m going to cope but expect I will just have too.
Right good bit, my electic scooter arrived yesterday, the sun was shining , so I went on the dog walk. Hubby there to pick up doggy poo. O’Rielly likes the scooter and thinks he should just sit with me. Good job he is a small dog. I enjoyed beingout in the fresh air more tha I can say. I just wish I could move independantly.
Then this morning I got a queue from Macmillian to help with the cost of being ill. Thats going to be a big help with the electric bill, as the washing machine is never off.
Then I phoned the DWP as my adviser had said not to claim yet because of the three month rule. - anyway the forms are coming to me and I’m to put a claim in straight away

Thants me for today. tomorrow my daughter is taking me to the local market- that should be a giggle - how many points do you get for running into a stall?

Hi Glo
So sorry to hear about what you are going through. At least the pain relief is working. Have you had a proper assessment from your community OT for equipment that might help.
I smiled at your Tesco story. My Ex was a bit like that but we always managed to see the funny side which you seem to as well. Hope that you have some girlfriends around you too. I find they are great support.
Thinking of you.
