Who else can't sleep?

Sounds like a plan Steph - here's hoping a month will make a difference. Leaving work in 15 mins and got my pyjamas on my mind! Your body will be thanking you right now @"Kiwi Angel" - have a great weekend! 

Sounds like good news @"Kiwi Angel".

I'm standing in front of the fire @SoldierCrab - snow sounds way too cold.

@Eastmum. Since I am retaining fluid everywhere at the moment she is still treating it as chemo related and we will review again in a month. Just lying in bed with the fur nurse watching telly. I’m too stubborn for my own good sometimes. 

@"Kiwi Angel" - what happened at your physio appointment? Do you have lymphodema in your arm? I hope that you're on your way to sitting in front of the telly right about now! It's all about accepting the new normal I think - I've found that the quicker I get to the 'acceptance' stage of everything that's going on, the quicker I can find an action plan to deal with it. 

@SoldierCrab - just your mention of snow makes my toes and fingers react! Hope you can stay as warm as comfy as possible this weekend - they're predicting a cold one! 

Hugs to those of you struggling this morning   I know I am in my thermals today as the snow is due and my feet/hands are telling me ... Remember you have neuropathy .... F*ck Cancer and all the gifts treatment likes to give us. 

@kmakm. I am being sensible and taking it easy as much as I whinge - thanks for looking after me  ;). Didn’t even try to go for a walk this morning as my calves were so sore - thought the walking I would do during the course of the day would be enough - at least the cankles subsided overnight!!  @Zoffiel exactly how I feel - used to be up at 5am every morning except Sunday morning when I would allow myself a sleep in and now most days I feel like I could stay in bed till lunchtime every day. I hate the little to large health issues that just keep cropping up - is quite demoralising. Sick of feeling like an old woman!!

Indeed @"Kiwi Angel" The spontaneous destruction of major bodily functions coupled with the sly encroachment of a myriad of minor to medium sized health insults is the most frustrating thing of all.

I look at myself in the mirror and can still see, under the flab, the person who only a couple of years ago could run for miles and hay cart with the best of them. Now? Nothing works and there is another fucking problem every week. An example, still in bed at 8.30. Since when is that OK? Oh, since my arm hurts less when I keep it over my head.. And its raining so my feet are aching like mad .FFS

It has been observed @"Kiwi Angel"! But sometimes stubborn is ruinious for our health and can slow our recovery. Take care and please look after yourself. You are number one! Kate xox

@kmakm have the next 3 days off and Sunday is planned as not much more apart from making some pumpkin soup. U probably have noticed I’m abit impatient and stubborn -I think it’s hard to get your head round how u take your body for granted and it chugs along quite happily doing with it does and then one day due to this experience is temporarily craps it’s self. 

@"Kiwi Angel" Dreadful Steph, poor love. Coming back from TC takes time. Can you take a few days off to give yourself a chance to recover more? I know being at work is good for your mental health but little and lousy sleep is ruinous, and it's easy to spiral down. K xox
