December 29th -
It's almost the end of 2021 and I thought I would finish the year with a final blog.
The photo here is how I feel right now ; pretty glad the year is over! This photo was taken after running a 5k for the first time and I was glad it was done, but at the same time quite pleased with myself!
After my last chemo, I had issues with my pump as the clip on the drip was closed, which was not allowing the drug to be administered through the introvenus as required. I spent three days waiting for the pump to reduce as it should ( it usually takes 48 hrs) and each time the district nurse called, it still hadn't reduced!
Today, I began the day feeling as though I have missed out on a normal Christmas and now I have the usual side effects ; fatigue, nausea and lack of appetite.
However, I decided I was going to finish the year on a positive note , so I grabbed my diary, and began going through all the good, positive events that this year has brought.
I had clearly forgotten some events and after creating a list, I felt so much better ;
😀 Made a promotional video for my new book, 'Through the valley' ( this was so much fun!)
😀 Enjoyed two weekends on holiday in Wales and Derbyshire
😀 Started blogging ( with thanks to a friend .)
😀 Had a major bowel operation to remove a cancerous polyp ( and recovered mega fast!)
😀 Ran 10 k at Tatton Park with 'RunThrough events'
😀 Enjoyed a special birthday weekend at a spa hotel with my family
😀 Had constant support from hubby, family and friends throughout the year ( priceless!)
So, my year has been pretty good! I have achieved things I have never would have thought possible (especially the 10k run!)
Amazing blog. Keep jogging through the door. Thanks for letting us know
