Title: Hello im back
Post by: flowerofshona on January 26, 2006, 12:03:44
Like a bad penny im back and just had the results from the CT scan and the cancer has not spread Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! healing really well from the hystorectomy and starting to feel 'normal' again and itching to get going in the garden and we have swapped to a bigger allotment to so hubby can do his show dahlias and i can have more room for fruit and veggies :)
Only took it over a week agao and already had manure delivered and as it was in pretty good condition hubby rotavated it so we can catch up :) it has a tap on the end of the plot and we have paid out hose pipe fee for the year so that makes life easy and the loos are just a few steps away  ;D
Made a start with broadbeans, garlic, peas in root trainers and cauli and cabbage in cell trays so well up to speed :)
Feels so good to be getting going again as i truely didn't think i would ever get to play in the dirt again.
Thanks for all the kind messages of support you are great !!

Welcome back Dawn.   ;D   I'm glad everything went well for you but don't do too much too soon.  It takes several months to get over a big operation like that, so do take care.

Empathize, flower - been under a shadow for a month - without all the invasive stuff.

Like you - breathing again - I think. Keep well!

Welcome back Dawn ;D That is fabulous news. But take heed and don't try to run before you can walk (I did after the same op) and it only sets you back. Just relax
and plan your lottie....it;s almost spring!!!!! ;D

Fab news ... and hello ! 

I too have had one of them .. and can only re-iterate .... please take things very slowly !!!! (on the physical) you only have one chance to heal properly and that's the first time ..... you have all the time in the world to garden thereafter (((hug))).

Good news is always welcome - but your good news is very very welcome, Dawn.  Listen to the advice about not trying to do too much too soon tho ... Really happy for you and your OH - he must be so relieved.

Thanks guys :) its nice to be back in the fold :)
I have done 9 weeks of 'nothing much' and im very slowly doing more things and if it hurts or pulls i stop, but i can get on in the greenhouse with a little help from hubby, and he is the one doing the hard work up the lottie and im stood supervising  ;D but i must admit to finding it hard to stand there and not pitch in  ::)
Roll on March when i should be able to do most things except lifting Yayyyyyyyyyyy.
Had my appointment to see the oncologist and radiographer on Tues 31st so it looks like i will be having some radiothereapy, but bring it on lets get it done and finished i say  ;D
