Country bumpkin to trailer trash!!

Well some of you know that my surgery date changed to June 8th. Slight mix up at the hospital about what operation I was having. A little annoying but hey its not far away now! I saw my surgeon about the decision I had made and he was very pleased and thought it was the right one (the one I had originally decided on!).

This Saturday I will be moving into my new pad down near Brighton. I am very excited to be going back down and living with Joe again. It will be a new fresh start with hopefully the worst behind us and lots of good things to come. Where we are moving too is quite interesting and unconventional just the way we like it. In fact, it suits us both right down to the ground. It is a park home, beach house, static home, glorified caravan!, whatever you wana call it. I am going to be trailer trash and I can not wait! It is right by the beach and that is something I have dreamed of. I am going to transform this little home into a 60s/70s bohemian hippy haven! The park is called Golden sands! Sounds posh eh!


I wish it was this, how cool is this arrangement!

It will be very sad to leave home up in Leicester where most of my family are. Its been great to spend some quality time with them and having them all fussing around me when I have been ill. I do not know what I would have done without them.

I had a great last weekend where we took my mum and dads narrow boat out and chugged along drinking cider in the sun. Perfect!









I will miss Foxton and its beautiful countryside, canal walks, the locks and cider and pasties, and fish and chips on a Friday! But most of all I will miss the Holts, the Sneffs and the Bates! And not to mention Cash the greyhound and Mabel the mental! Thank you all for everything you have done. I love usssse all and I will be back for plenty of visits.

So goodbye country bumpkin and hello trailer trash!!

My new puppies!

Well what a week I have had! I have had my breast reconstruction and am now back home recovering.I was very anxious and excited at the same time about having it done. It was great to think finally I will get my boobs back but I had no idea how they were going to turn out and I had to trust in my surgeon that they would look great! My body was changing again and it was quite a scary feeling. The recon went very well and I am very pleased with the results. It took me a while to look down at my chest, I was worried I was not going to like what I saw. At first glance in hospital I freaked out because not only was the right breast about twice the size of the left one but they were also pointing side ways rather then straight on. I hated being back in hospital, it brought back all the horrible memories of when I was last in to have my mastectomy. Even though I was in for a positive reason it was still hard. Being in pain, coming round from the anesthetics and being on morphine is a massive ...

Decision made! Bring on 2020.

So my decision is finally made and it feels such a relief. Before I go into detail, I just want to mention what happened after I published my last blog post. I was so glad to finally post it and it got so much response so quickly which was Amazing to see. Quite soon after I posted it the photographer from America messaged me with the photos she had taken in Woodstock. I wasn't expecting them for another four months so it was such a nice surprise and the timing couldn't have been better! When things like this happen I really believe the universe has got my back and delivers at the perfect time. I looked at the photos and was instantly wowed by them and had a little cry. I don't really look at my chest naked and its different seeing yourself in the mirror to a photo anyway. I felt so proud of myself and all that I'd gone through. The photos really helped me feel happier with my decision. Just to clarify, I had actually made my decision last summer, I was just strugglin...

Spring has sprung

I am so happy that the sun is shining and spring is on its way because at the moment I am my happiest sitting out in the natural elements taking in the new spring air. I feel it is appropriate timing that I am finishing my treatment and will be starting to live my life again when Spring is emerging. The Spring equinox begins this weekend, when night and day stand in perfect balance. The Spring Equinox represents new life and growth. The lethargy of winter is dissipating and there is the promise of life becoming more exuberant. This equinox is also known as Ostara or Eostre - and is celebrated as a festival of new growth, renewal, a re-balancing of energies and the return of longer days. "Goddess of fertility and new beginnings, we take this opportunity to embrace Eostre's passion for new life and let our own lives take the new direction we have wanted for so long." I mentioned in my last post the last chemo being bittersweet and how its left me feeling alone and desponde...
