just feeling a bit low
just feeling a bit low just feeling a bit low…got mammogram on 24th, which obviously doesn’t help…my friend who i met through bc
is dying…my daughter and her partner having relationship problems…constantly worrying about finances…can manage to get by
though…just.
Sorry to be so miserable just can’t seem to lift myself…i want to be able to spend more time with my grandchildren and friends and family…but feel like i’ve never got enough hours in the day [work 2 - 3 days a week]…husband is great but sometimes doesn’t understand…not his fault though.
this whole thing is s**t.
a very down
karen

Thank you Sunshine… …my friend is now in a hospice, had a few rough days being upset about her, but trying to pull myself together as she has been a fighter all the way through and has shown remarkable courage…dreading the mammogram…i know we all do.
thanks for the hug

hi karen Good luck for Weds. Gosh, I remember when my children were 3 and 1 and what a handful they were but absolutely delightful. (They’re 18 and 20 now). Hope you had fun.
We had a lovely weekend, thank you. Went swimming, saw my brother who is shortly about to move abroad for 3 years, and went to see 'Miss Potter ’ at the cinema. A lovely feel good film.
best wishes
Sunshine

hi karen how did it go today? I had mine last week and it wasnt anywhere near as painful as i thought it would be! phoned up for results on monday and it was fine, no recurrence or any thing nasty. I’m sure it will be the same for you. when will you get results? they told me a few weeks but that is too long to wait after everything so I just phoned a few days later and the nurse was more than happy to give me them.
take care annie x

chin up karen Hi Karen,
know exactly how you are feeling, and although people say you have to be possitive which is true, although some days it is difficult.
one of my lowest points was when my daughter told me she was pregnant, I was moved to tears but could not tell anyone that I was crying because my first thought was will I live to see this baby grow up, so I have learned to focus more on my good health as my grandson will be three in february, so on my low days I look back and although aware that it is still early days for me I am grateful that I have the good health to enjoy my grandson & all my family.
hi nighshift …thank you for your msg.
Yes some days it is difficult to be positive.
I know the thought you had when your daughter told you she was pregnant well…I am very pleased that you are enjoying your grandson
my mammogram was ok…thank goodness
my friend however is really not too good…have been to see her today and she has deteriorated since i saw her last week…it’s awful because you feel so helpless.
take care
karen
hi karen great news that mammogram was ok, thats such a relief.
i am so very sorry to hear that your friend is so bad. please dont feel helpless because you are doing all that you can by going to see her and being her friend.
lots of love and hugs, annie x
