An early good morning!
I have been bought a box of paper face masks by hubby. Tried them on last night and he said i looked like an extra from Grey's Anatomy......these things will be all the rage at the Olympics!
Jangar, I have worked throughout my recovery from surgery, following the chemo and that for me personally is how it should be. I was given a 3 week sick note from the surgeon but I was not sick. I had discomfort from the op and that meant I could not drive but there was nothing wrong with my brain or my hands so I worked via my lap top and the wonders of 3G :tonguepop:
On a serious note, I do pace myself and I am not going to put myself at risk BUT, I am not an invalid, I am not ill (like flu). The Cancer does not make me ill, the chemo does....it has side effects that are some times very un-pleasant, sometimes a bit un-pleasant, but mostly can be dealt with by the medication you are given.
So for me, and remember this is just how I have decided to deal with things is that life goes on as normal. I am not a victim, I did not bring this on myself. I have a firm and solid faith that enables me to walk this walk knowing there is a purpose, knowing that I am not alone and knowing that I will have a full recovery.
I had total peace in hospital before surgery, I had that same peace as I walked out of hospital and today, the peace is still with me.
Sure it is not an easy thing to deal with but I have found that the way I deal with it, is the way others are able to deal with me. No secrets, no pretending just open communication as to what is happening, and if I feel like $#@!, I say so and either go home, or, if i am at home, I lay down and rest.
I see the chemo as my best shot to get any of the little critters that decided to migrate and if that means six months on dis-comfort to know i have been given the best chance, then as i have said before.....bring it on!
So, cup of tea in hand and dry biscuit.....I begin another day!
Take care and thank you for your thoughts and support

Just want to let you know that you're in our thoughts and prayers.
I was busy typing out a longer reply just now when Internet Explorer crashed :viking: and unfortunately lost it.
I was saying something along the lines that it was a pleasure to read your positive post as positiveness helps in mega dosis
And then I was saying that if you aren't able to stay away from people, which we all know you aren't, to please always remember to wear a Michael Jackson / Japanese flu mask as they may just help to save your life.
We wish you a speedy recovery and keep up the good spirits as that helps "MEGA" lots.
:hug:
Venus and I
PS no:mrburns: for you till you're fully recovered and out of the danger zone !!!!!
