because I'm feeling particularly sorry for myself today. The opp i had last Tuesday was purely cosmetic, to perfect my reconstruction, so I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, but I knew that. I am feeling battered and sore and the fluid has come back in the space where my latt muscle should be, like after the mastectomy, on the left side where Mr Searle went in again under the arm to correct the muscle twitching. This is very uncomfortable, especially at night when I'm trying to lie down. So I'm not sleeping.
I have been for a walk. It was a beautiful day today. The air smelt fresh and cold and I began to feel slightly better. Adam is being a loving and sympathetic. I am so very lucky and blessed to have him in my life..... but he's going back to Town tonight and I'm staying here on my own to heal privately for a few days. It is both a relief and a worry to be left alone. I know I am doing us both a favor to create a break in what is a very intense, close relationship . I feel so close to him it amazes me. One really clear positive thing getting cancer has done for me is to show me that Adam does really love me. He has been with me every step of the way, supporting me, motivating me, loving me. I am grateful beyond words for this.
Anyway..... clothes, no worries as yet. Have looked at a few magazines this weekend but not desired anything. I have so much. I can go to several parties, weddings, doo's of any kind this year and be fine clothes, shoes and bag wise. This leaves me time and money for other more important things....like...holidays with the family, stuff for the house and garden...its so exciting and SUCH A RELIEF.
I'm feeling better already. I knew this blog was a good idea.
