First week down, two weeks to go until the next round begins over again! So after the last weekend of A and E visits, I have so far avoided the place this week! Ive also learnt morphine is the best happy drug going, the drunk feel without the alcohol is fairly decent for the Christmas season! This week I've been back to work, which feels incredible after the week/weekend just been. My legs are also feeling a lot lot better, not sure if it's the morphine or the different anticoagulants! So im also getting a little excited about getting back into some form of training too on my good weeks. 6 months plus of doing nothing physical has driven me insane! And slightly Miss Blobbyish! Tuesday I headed back to St Mary's for a wig fitting, it was just as horrific as before! And after cracking a joke about looking bald in the wig cap, the stone cold face reaction of the blonde wig fitting lady, kind of suggested to me she didn't have a sense of humour :/ So the mother puts her foot in it even further, whilst I'm trying on a wig which happened to be blonde, suggesting it could be for my days that I leave my brains at home.... Again I don't think the wig lady appreciated the joke!! Never mind! Ive received incredible support so far through the last month, lots of messages, cards etc. This week it was lovely to receive a massive box of chocolates from the Wightlink Raiders Ice Hockey Supporters Committee, not sure how they expect me to eat all four layers though!! Missing ice hockey badly this year, however keeping up with some of the players across the South, and hearing a couple of the clubs are going to be collecting money for Breast Cancer Care in support, is incredible! The awesome gym guys have organised a 24hr treadmill challenge. The treadmill will be run on for the entire 24 hours, 9am 13th feb- 9am 14th feb! All in aid of the amazing team Applegate Breast Cancer Care Unit on the island. These nurses are at the other end of a phone whenever I've needed questions answered, they provide support throughout treatment and surgery, and so much more! If you'd like to contribute to donations, they are always gratefully received, pop into WightFIT and put your name down to either contribute to the running or maybe donate a few pennies! Today I've been to Southampton, and yes Nandos was finally consumed after a much awaited craving! Headed over for another wig fitting, this was a much better experience and now I've just got to wait for Daisy (the wig chosen!) to arrive! Headed back to Princess Anne Hospital, for check up with Austin Powers and the team. All good until the next surgery! It's been suggested this week by someone who shall remain nameless, that I've made my journey public because I like attention... not quite sure how that idea even comes about, especially about someone who hates the attention! However, just to clarify why I decided to make this public; I want as many of my friends and colleagues to be aware of their body, check their bits and get themselves checked out asap!! That's all.... awareness! And if that makes me an attention seeker, so bloody be it as far as I'm concerned! I've also received an incredible amount of support from all over the place. And this week I received an incredible message from an old friend, who is going through his own troubles in life. It was along the lines that reading this blog has given him some strength and the push to work his own troubles out.... If that's the only thing this whole blog thing will do.... then I'm happy to have helped! And if you think its for attention.... then bugger off this page and stop bloody reading it!! All in all it's been a much better week, I'm back to work, I've had Nando's, and I'm happy :) I may soon be hairless... but I'll still be me, and nothing can get rid of my smile! Roll on the wig arriving in time for Christmas, and if all else fails I am now the proud owner of a Santa hat with pigtails!! xxx
