Well good hospital visit yesterday then one next week to discuss op . Im being very good diet wise well not very but increasingly healthy .
Struggling with the reg exercise bit so bit the bullet yesterday and started . Rejoined myfitnesspal to try and focus a bit.
Part of selfcare also means treated my skin day 1  yesterday need to do daily theray for around 6 weeks so going to commit to this so feeling quite good my tendancy is to look after everyone else not me so 2026 is looking likely to shape up differently .
The food is going to be more home made pretty good 4/7 but going to try and increase this to 6/7 pizza night will stay .
moneywise still using up xmas treats so shopping is less daughters home today though so will nip to asda 
oh has meeting next week re his job i think he needs a new job but this is the one area where we have let each other choose their own route so will just have to offer quiet support regardless of outcome.
went to rocky horror picture show last night was a great show really cheered me up x
DD is 25 tomorrow how time flies so we will get a weekend visit .
Currently applying for jobs for my 23 year old think hes struggling with his redundancy but form filling isnt  his strong point so ill help out .Dont worry grammar is correct on those lol
Have a lovely weekend x

Well have op booked consultant was lovely ,need another mri to investigate ? a cyst but we will see all my probably nots have turned out to be a yes it is so far on this journey .
Money wise only saving is i started ordering stuff online that i really didnt need I deleted the basket so 90 quid saved .
 son made redundant and now hubby too the joys 26 is bringing along however hubby could do with a new less stressful job hes more upset about his pension than the job so hopefully will move on with head held high and new adventures .
cant wait to get back out with the caravan pub and football is boring me to death hopefully visit more downton abbet estates where i can paint/sketch and drink wine /gin lol

So Op on wed so  thought I'd update oh is mega stressed like to think its about me but hey im not sure given hes planned a meeting day after my op which for once i have a terrible sinking feeling about .not like me to be honest but maybe just worried that it becomes a bigger op and end up off sick longer only get 4 weeks paid leave .
hubby and i had a long chat re finances and his multiple subscriptions and expensive  phone bill .
we aren't going to be short of money but we really need to get our wiggle on to save money i really want to stop at 60 but hubby today basically said he cant see him retiring ever !!!!!! .sorry but im going to park the caravan up then and get away at weekends to the sea x anyway hopefully be here thursday telling you all how fab it went x

Reading your post left me breathless! Best of luck with everything.

Ahh liselle thanks for the wishes turns out my whole work know im going for an op absolutely raging so much for confidentiality .

I'm probably just overthinking it really should be a quick procedure home by teatime think ive freaked because i have to take an overnight bag and a bed has been booked just incase .

Oh has shifted the meeting but chatted with my son and he agrees oh really doesn't cope well with sickness of any kind .

ive not told freinds and family as although i have the big c its very unlikely it will kill me just more of a long term check up scenario and really dont see the point of stressing them out .

terrible sleep last night but im putting it down having to accept being looked after rather than doing the looking after .

in a better frame of mind better go get the bag sorted x

elly68

Well op all done OH got really upset morning of op will get pathology results 2/52 likely all clear but will smile once results are in .

Oh has taken package from job and now has seen a financial adviser re pension ect for best outcome. Will wait and see how he does self employed but package removes financial worry so think he should give it a shot x

Son has interview this week hopefully this goes well

Im taking the recommended time of work to recover shame i'm not allowed to fly id rather recover in the sun lol

Looks like 2026 is going to be interesting hopefully feb brings some joy x
