Hey Bunnies!!!!
Frantic bunny here - but happily frantic. I am officially viral. No not a virus, viral. 158 orders in last 2 days...
Mary I am sorry to hear about your hump/lump/bump.... it sounds so painful and do hope you get some relief soon. Big hugs coming your way bunny.
Margie - have a wonderful holiday - sounds quite idyllic. Stamps arrived saturday - big thank you, it does help.
Am sorry so many bunnies are 'flat' - worried i may irritate you beyond belief as am so blooming wired all the time. There is a tremendous book called 'The cancer Survivors Companion' by Dr Frances Goodhart. It covers all the roller-coaster of the aftermath of active treatment. Can't say I have read it thoroughlly but it came highly recommended by one of the bcns. if the flatness continues, well just maybe a visit to the GP could help - short-term medication really can get us out of a dark spot.
Wendy - hope the telly gets sorted. I don't watch much telly but am completely hooked to all things Strictly and want to come to sally-Annes party!
And sally-Anne, your night out sounded so special - I am thrilled you felt and looked so well.
I am off to Toni and Guys on Wednesday, they do a special deal for post-chemo hair. And my hair is just bizarre. Come back my old colour, very dark but it is growing so thick and in odd directions - I seem to have developed 2 partings - one on each side and the hair grows to the centre. Tried blow-drying and straighteners but to no avail so shall see what can be done. Goddness, doesn't seem 2 minutes since we were all stressing about being bald and wigs and here I am on campo's tail and off to the hairdressers.
Well, idea of a screenplay.... I do hope the gruesome twosome can be in the periphery. I have often though about writing a series of sketches as I seem to have one of those 'funny lives' - or perhaps its just the way I view the world. Or perhaps a series of books - 'Two Old ladies" series. However, mother and Auntie would murder me as of course, they have no idea that they are funny. Quite like idea of Julie Walters playing me (would prefer helena Bonham-Carter - vanity, vanity..) Vanns, Dawn French is NOT you... not sure who is as am rubbish at actresses names but someone samll dark and SLIM.
Talking of slim... well okay tangential thinking... I am on a weight loss campaign. Seizing the amnesty off letrozole to try and shift the 2 stone i piled on during treatment, well chemo and rads. herceptin number 6 this week. None of my clothes fit and i am struggling to fasten size 14!!!! I was a 10 when I started all this malarky. So can't do much exercise as shoulder is buggered and leg joints achy (hercptin is really hard on the joints) so it has to be food intake..... lemon Drizzle cake out and rice milk smothies in. Oh joy. Anyone fancy being a slimming buddy with me? Couldn't bear going to a club - tried it and was full of women not like me. Vanns come and be me personal trainer!
I should have started the 10week phsiotherpay gym re-hab on Friday but they wouldn't let me as they said now they know what my shoulder is, its too volatile for exercises. made me feel like I have a time-bomb at the end of me arm! Have been referred for urgent surgery - hmmm, well they shall have to fit it round me holidays!
Have decided that 2013 is going to make up big time for this year..... So have booked up 5 fantastic holidays, places we have always wanted to visit, things we have wanted to do - going to sell our caravan (anybody want a gorgeous caravan?), the 4 wheel drive (anybody want a land Rover) and change down to a mid-size estate car (has to be estate becasue of all dogs). No more caravanning, I intend to be waited on hand and foot on holidays now - what we used to do until caravan and dogs turned up. They did really well in kennels when we were in new England so have no qualms about putting them in more regularly - does cost a bomb though when you have 4 of them.
Worried I am going to be away when we do the Blenheim walk - when is it?
As for March/April meet-up. No worries about my paws being trod on. More than happy to have someone else organise this one. Am still argy-bargying with Hilton as they whacked extra charges on my credit card the week after our last event.
Right, thats me done, better get back to Pixie bagging..
Much love
Pixie
