A Great Day but Tiny Steps

Well I had a great day yes my friends great I woke up an seen my girls off to school for the first day in like 6 months I was up at 6.30 made a cup of tea sat in the sun and enjoyed the crisp breeze as I braided their hair and continued on with no pain killers no anti vomiting tablets or anything other than my regular medication.

I was pain and sickness free.

I took this picture this afternoon and when I clicked on it I noticed a tiny ant and a lot more detail. Beautiful.

I took the opportunity to make breakfast in bed for my honey, take Kyle to the doctor and then ring my darling girl Bek (who only has 3 weeks to go until her bubba arrives) and we talked for about an hour giggling and catching up on the past month or so of gossip.If that had been the end of my day I would of been Happy but I was on a roll. We have just changed banks soooooo we got dressed and headed off to pick up cheque book, cards ECT when the door of the bank opened. I got a big smile then a scream from the woman pushing a pram out the door before us. I looked at Ben, smiled thinking oh my god whats this weirdo doing and then screamed as well it was my girlfriend I haven’t seen for 3 years whom I have known since I was 13. YAY my 4th musketeer (little miss naughty and Mrs. naughty have nothing on this girl lol) Together were unstoppable and there will be good times ahead.
Hopefully Lyndell is coming for a visit this weekend as the boys are working so another Girlie weekend. I am over the moon about Aleesha but Im so missing Mrs Naughty.

She told me she was moving here in 2 weeks and I am just beside myself I finally have a friend, gees that sounds sad but you know what I mean someone who has known you since then and who doesn’t have to ask how you are she can just tell and who will only be 20mins away.

I rang Lyndel and she’s happy for me but jealous that it’s not her(I wish they would all move closer) But just think how our girly nights will be now when Tania gets back from the U.K WOO Hoo.

The rest of the day has been great I have had 1 maxalon at lunch time (no vomit meds) but no pain killers, that is a huge deal for me and the fact that I was worried about dependency after treatment has left my mind. My pain is real and I treat myself symptomatically, if I have no pain I don’t need medication and today reinforced that, it's such a relief as I really hate taking anything at all and the locum doctor gave me the third degree even though my normal doc and I have discussed this at real length because I did have concerns myself.

I am just a happy bear today, feeling well, seeing old friends, arranging a sleep over and just enjoying a great day.

I cant tell you enough what having one good day has done for my emotional well being, small tasks that we all take for granted have been a struggle. Walking up and down the stairs from my bedroom to the lounge is like watching an 80 year old woman after hip replacement surgery on a bad day and even then I have had days were I haven’t even ventured downstairs to see my kitchen so I really appreciate being up and around. I browsed most of you this morning leaving a comment which is long overdue those of you I missed I will be there tomorrow.

I hope your day has been a healthy one and I pray I find one more (at the very least) I even took some photos in the garden "Look Out shes back"for today any way.



7 more weeks and counting guys can you believe 41 weeks this friday has past since I started on this treatment, it felt like a life time in the beginning but the light is getting brighter every day.

Peace and Health To You All XX
