Wednesday 9th February 2011

Life has been reasonably quiet and normal the last few days.  It is amazing how good it is to lead a normal life: no hospital visits or doctor visits; just a quick trip to the clinic to pick up a prescription.  Bill is going to physiotherapy three times a week and on the days that he doesn’t do that we are trying to take a daily walk; this is to build my strength up and because the doctor told Bill that he needs to do it.  He got caught out by the various cholesterol levels when he had a blood test and got a mild telling off.
I think the main thing that I find frustrating is that I am not as fit as I think I should be.  People keep telling me that I have had a major operation and that I have cancer and it is normal to feel tired all the time.  I also get out of breath very easily which annoys me.  I guess patience is not my strongest point when it comes to health.  I want everything to be like it was before but I am finding that I have to rest more often and I sleep a lot and that bugs me.
On the up side the weather is warming up nicely which means that walking on the beach path is now becoming a pleasure, I love the ocean and enjoy breathing in the sea air.  Spring is on the way and we see new life springing out all around us.
Because life is normal at the moment I will leave writing more for another day.  I have chemo next Wednesday so will take the time to enjoy the week before it all starts again.
