Finding Happiness In The New Normal
I'm in the process of rebuilding my life after BC. My internal and external life. The oncologist says the physical recovery from chemo will take about a year. I'm at the three month mark from the bila...
Sounds wonderful @kmakm and @allyjay.
I really love your idea of taking a trip and exploring @kmakm. I suspect that I won't be able to persuade my husband easily, but I'm sure I could get the kids on board. I'm so sick of spending my time in waiting rooms or at home, and always with the thoughts - I need to get out and be distracted from the everyday.
@allyjay I have some baby clothes my Mum knitted and a friend gave me back some of them a few years ago that Mum had knitted for her when her kids were born. They are very precious to me. Mum always had a stack of basic 8-ply cardis in her wardrobe that she'd knitted and my sister and I would often borrow one to keep warm when we were ill. I wish I had kept one of those. Funnily enough, I did keep two dresses of Mum's - one was her very stylish Melbourne designer after-5 wedding dress and the other was a navy 1950s dress that she always wore to go to town, etc. I got them out to show my girls yesterday and it looks as if the younger won has claimed the town dress for her Year 7 graduation at the end of the year (just have to find her a petticoat to go with it!). Mum would be pleased but she'd also be rolling on the floor, laughing. God! I miss her so much even after 18 years. The only good thing is that I never had to tell her about my diagnosis.
