Shop 'til we drop!


Enjoyed a lovely day yesterday. Managed a three mile run in the morning (knocked a mile off the usual route didn’t want to “over do” it!) Mowed the smaller lawns on the ride on, while it was dry to keep on top of things in the hope we may eventually get another house viewing! Met Maisie in town after work at 2pm for shopping and cakes. She treated me now she has a pay packet! Chocolate brownie and drinks in the Old School House. Heavens opened and it poured, caught out without an umbrella but we improvised and shared Maisie’s scarf, covering our heads!

We shopped until we dropped not getting home until after 5pm! I bought some essentials for the hospital – slippers, toiletries etc and some “luxuries” cosy socks and pretty knickers! Maisie treated herself to quality hair products and new undies!

 A day at home today with nothing much on which is nice. Maisie is under instruction to make “Rocky Road” chocolaty, calorie packed and delicious! We will check through the list for Maisie going into halls in 8th September, most of the necessities already packed.

 Reflexology at CLAN will be relaxing for me tomorrow morning, then we are going to the gym in the evening as I am trying tone up my upper body, especially my left arm and shoulder which has not had much exercise since the carpal op but which needs to be strong for recovery from the mastectomy. A stint on the rowing machine and cross trainer should be gentle enough and beneficial followed by the steam room!

  1. Have just sat and read your blog so far, thank you for the link. As you suggested it is an honest and emotional account of your journey. As one of your supporters it is the best way to relay your thoughts, fears, sad and happy days without having to literally go through each account one by one. That said personal contact is also essential and it's great to hear to you are 'inviting yourself out' and socialising as much as you can pre op. After all Love and laughter are the best therapy.
    Enjoy the rocky road (sweet and chocolatey sort, not a pun!)
    All my love, Rachel x
