Mayo

Sam is sorting his parent's drive out so May and I are home alone on a chill out .. well sort of. Madam continues to pull on her lead, so following the advice of the Dog Whisperer we are now returning to the house when we go on a walk (or not as the case may be) at the first pull.
One very confused girl. She looks at me when we get back in and say .. ''but why???" and then we go through it all again 1/2 an hour later. Today will be the first day that no walk is the outcome. Will start the process again in the morning.

Barbi for 1 .. lamb and huloumi with salad and coleslaw and an shot of the X Factor!

Still not sleeping and am really rather tired. Today sat and had lunch and an read, resisted the urge to have a kip.

Took the vacuum back to Tesco .. it's just not a Dyson ... and realised had forgotten to put it into the car! So there's a job for another day.

See the doctors on Wednesday. All the pre-op stuff. Hummm

Work

Well, we made it through to presentation stage on a tender and guess what? It's the day of my pre-op. Tried to change the date for both but neither could be done so requested first presentation which should just about give me time to get to the hospital.

Mayo part git part good on her walk today. She knows what she should do but chooses not to. It's so frustrating as when she's good, she's v v good ......

She did walk beautifully with her nose thing on though.

Tried the dog trainer today - she's not around until next week, so need to rethink.

Before & After

It has been suggested I should take some pics of how I look now ... which is actually a great idea, but Sam has broken his camera!

Before and after. I had a letter from the hospital which said I should take a photo of my boobs as a record. You have to laugh. One assumes this will be put on my record for whoever to look at. How weird is that???

Orft now

Update

Well, some 8 weeks into the event.
In the greater scheme of things would have a rather large slash across tum by now had I not had a moment of lucidity and decided an implant would be ok (watch this space).

On the countdown to the op; 12 days and I will be there. Somewhat surreal.

Mayo

Was a git on her walk today. Being a charitable sort put it down to the fact that I'm trying to reduce her exercise expectation as when crocked getting her out for a walk every day could be challenging.

Programme not going too well at the mo.

This cancer lark

Makes you (aks me) behave in very strange ways ...
Steady on Tiger ...
Just cleaned the walls on the staircase. Never clean walls. Can only put it down to current situation.
Hey ho

And, looking at it .. it's a 1/2 job.

Will inspect at a later date.
