As Amy mentioned it's been a big day! not just for me but for all of the boulder area! My thoughts are going out to everyone involved with the fire, and i've been cheering on the slurry bomber planes that have been flying overhead all day! and while i hate to have had to have such a terrible thing happen it does help me put things into perspective and be really grateful for what I've got! all things considered i'm extremely lucky! and with everything else that has happened in my past, if i've learning anythings, i've learned that things will be ok!
on a lighter side, i did go get my hair cut and think i lost about 6 inches and at least a kilo of hair! my head feels so much lighter! still getting used to the way it looks but i'm enjoying it heaps! We even made it to the pet store, which the dogs and ginger(my frog) are very happy about! also gram has stopped by with a wonderful gift! she's given me an adorable headband and a great little pumpkin that screams when you press it! it's very handy as it hurts my own voice to scream, but it is what i feel like doing a lot these days! i'll try and post a photo of the new looks but i'm terrible with technology and this whole blog thing so hope it works, but sorry if it doesn't!
so, now we are all sitting on the couch catching up! it's been really nice to finally feel like i've done something with my day. although it has completely drained me! and as i'm sure you're all actually reading this to find out, i am feeling slighty better. the gargle seems to be slowly but surely working. I could barely move my neck a few days ago and now i'm begining to get movement back! and while i'm still exhausted all the time i feel slightly more rested now that i've been getting more sleep (thank you ambien!) hopefully i can continue to sleep well tonight! i'm very excited (hmmm maybe excited isn't the right word...) about tomorrow mornings doctors appointment! it's been just over a week since my last appointment with anyone concerning the cancer so i've thought up a lot more questions! so i'm sure we'll have more health updates soon!

ReplyDeleteHi there Katy and family. Fires!! Over in Australia we've not heard about them and it sounds very serious. As you say it puts things into perpective. So glad you are feeling a bit better Katy and great that you've had a treat of a hair cut. Pet stores visit a very uplifting..... imagine when you and Frances go choose a pooch to smooch!! I hope the neck keeps moving and that you start sleeping. We continue to send you lots of love over the sea. Make a list of all those questions and make sure the Drs answer them all. :) Hugs and kisses Margaret and Harold and Patrick......
