Finally driving again
Hello to all the wonderful women in this special club! I am so pleased to be driving again as now I can reclaim some of my independance.It has been 6 weeks since yesterday! Hehehehehe
Hi Jennifer,
Just thought I would let you know my next goal on my way to recovery is....hanging the washing on the line. Not that I love washing but its a goal to get my arm up higher than just above my head. I have no goal of lifting heavy objects carrying a bag of groceries would be good. My physio told me i shouldn't be lifting anything heavier than a can of baked beans...I told him my handbag is heavier than that. Still, I dont want to cause any damage and undo all the good work so far.
I popped back into my place of work last week to have a cuppa with them all. They were all amazed how well I looked and how all the lines have gone from my face. Until they mentioned that, I hadnt realised that had happened. So Bonus!!!!! I do feel really well. I have surgery next week to put in a portacath for chemo. It will start 7 days after the port is in place and almost healed. So just before Christmas...what a present.
Do you have a "Look Good Feel Good" workshop anywhere near where you live? I am booked in for Monday and very excited about all the knowledge, freebies and advice they teach you. I dont really want a wig but they tell me I'm entitled to a free one, so I might just choose one for special occasions. Best to do it before you loose your hair so they can match the colour...that's if you want the same colour!!! My Hubby is bald and said he could wear it if I didnt want it...have to get a pic of that for my scrapbook.
Well dear, take care, chat again soon.
