Still happy :-)
Still progressing well, healing well, feeling well and mostly just loving the fact I have my taste back. Have a manageable amount of pain under my arm which restricts me stretching too much and is just generally uncomfortable due to the position but I've been able to keep up walking every day. I've felt tired this weekend but nothing compared to a few months ago.
Unfortunately oedema has returned to impede and irritate me! Back on the tablets and back on with the lovely compression stockings! I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it does get me down because, at its worst, my legs are painful and moving is uncomfortable.
Small progress on the eye front.....my oncology team phoned to say that the Wessex Neuro centre has requested another MRI and an Opthalmology assessment (no, shit Sherlock, we knew we needed that at least six weeks ago!). So, hopefully sooner rather than later, I'll get those appointments through. I still have eye pain, on and off pretty much every day so it's definitely not getting any better but not getting much worse either so that's a good sign.
I have really enjoyed walking every day but needed to rest a bit more this weekend. I will continue this week to try to gradually build up my stamina and muscles. I have to accept its going to take a lot longer than I would like.

Well done for walking every day. Keep it up but be realistic. Slowly, slowly
ReplyDeleteOne day your slim ankles will return, until then........lovely compression and elevation.
ReplyDeleteWalking will also help with the swelling (calf muscle is a pump) and it will make you feel good but you have to listen to your body not your busy mind. Have some rest at the weekend
Keep well xx
