Keeping Active
Hey guys,
Any ideas on ways I can stay active and not goooooo absolutely crazy being at home all the time. I cant do anything I usually do, Find I'm spending all of my time sleeping. On the Comput...
I do scapbooking, Play Wii sports (tennis, ten pin anything to get my arm going etc) wordsearch puzzles, I have sorted my recipes and made recipe books for my three daughter of all my favourite recipes (the ones they keep ringing me up about, how do I make such and such) I have also sorted my wardrobe and sent a heap to vinnies. My laptop is my very best friend besides my husband. But I only do all this when I feel well enough between chemo.
We have an automatic car and I couldnt wait until i had the all clear to be able to drive again. I hated haveing to wait or book with family or friends to go somewhere. Not sure how you are going to go with manual car. Depends which arm you are going to be able to use after surgery.
I got a letter from my Oncologist after my first round of chemo check up, to say In her opinion it would be medicially beneficial for me to go back to work when I feel well enough to do so between chemo for a few hours a day. That kept me sane and i still feel part of the work place.
But remember to rest when you need it and play when you can.
Take Care
