I'm back. Have been hibernating for a while - in a state of suspended animation, sort of. Pretty crappy time. Thinking tonight of you Melbourne ladies while listening to the International Jazz Day concert live from Melbourne. Always thinking of the community on this forum, though. I feel guilty that I've not been here supporting those of you who are having a shite time; but I just needed to hunker down and let myself wallow for a bit.
When I gradually started to feel stronger and more motivated about five weeks after stopping Letrozole, I got a bit over-enthusiastic in the garden, moving some heavy pot plants (I USED to be able to do that!). Crushed my rib cartilage. Still struggling with torn Achilles, though I now have a My Aged Care package with a new podiatrist who is making it his mission to heal it, and it's gradually improving.
HUGE day tomorrow. After having my appointment rescheduled twice, I'll finally meet the (new) surgeon who will do my next surgery. I've been very stressed, trying to anticipate his response to my decision to not have changeover to implant, but to remove the expander and go flat (and if possible remove at least some of the titanium mesh). I just hope I don't have to wait too long to have it done.
