It's raining, it's pouring

Just popped to the cash machine on the way home, and got caught out in a downpour. Everyone else around was dashing about, putting up brollies etc. I just stood there, got soaked and thought how nice it felt - to have wet hair in the rain. Weird perhaps, but it was just one of those little things that makes you glad to be alive...

New hair

It felt sooooo good having my hair done again. I've already booked myself an appointment for 11 December so I can have it coloured for Christmas (my works do is on the 15th)!! I'm really looking forward to that, I'll feel more like my old self when I have a bit of colour in it.

This might sound daft, but I really felt like I'd achieved something yesterday when I had my hair done. Like I had ticked another thing off a list or something.

Hair cut!

Tomorrow I'm having my first post chemo haircut!! I'm quite excited:)

More bad news

My aunt phoned earlier, her best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and had a mastectomy last week. She got her post op results today, and has found out she will be having chemo and rads so is a bit upset. My aunt was a bit flustered about it all so phoned me for a bit more info. Horrible, nasty disease.

End of phased return

I've officially finished my phased return today. I can't believe I have been back at work 3 months. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun? Also got chance to have quite a good chat with my managers today, they are so good to me. I am very lucky to work for such a caring employer. Although I'm supposed to be back doing my job fully from Monday, I know they will give me a lot of support if I need it.

Dentist

I was at the dentist this morning. No problems there, but I have had to give him some information from the hospital to do with the trial I am taking part in. They've discovered that some people have/are suffering from some jaw problems with it so the dentist has to check with the hospital if he wants to do any surgical work on me. He gave me a very thorough check up, felt all round my jaw area and neck.

Insurance part 2

We've got it sorted now (it's taken over 3 hours!) and it has cost me an extra £250. I'm still a bit tearful to be honest, just cos yet again bc has got in the way of my life. But hey, shit happens eh?

The holiday had better be bloody good now!!
