Just a Quick Check In..

Today marks Six Weeks since I signed off here and headed into Surgery, into the Unknown and into my new life. I am approaching what is technically seen as the end of standard recovery time from the Surgery I have had, and all I have to say to that is.. Yeah. Right.

Since Recovery is a very individual experience, and I am the sort of person who falls well beyond the radius of standard comformity, I don’t believe my convalescence has been or will be in any way like the accepted guideline!

That aside, I am writing a very short and sweet post just to announce that I am still alive somehow, and I didn’t dissolve into a little puddle of death on the operating table, or anytime after that! In fact, my new life so far is fairly “peachy” for someone who just a few weeks ago had zero experience of life changing surgery and neither a high opinion of the process and outcome or of my chances thereafter.

In the time that has so far passed, I have been carefully recording every moment of my recovery journey and once I am in a position where I can look back on it and make some degree of sense out of it all, I will be able to give a detailed account of the whole process, again 100% honest, warts and all.

For the time being, I must continue giving 110% energy and focus into what I am doing, which is well beyond lazing in bed and watching endless Netflix ((believe me, that did happen in the early weeks!!)) and actually involves some very in depth and tricky rehabilitation processes that go well beyond my Surgery and Cancer Diagnosis and stretch back into some of the deeper, root causes of why I had fallen so far over so many years and how this change in life might just be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

What matters the most to report right now is that so far I am content, comfortable and completely cancer free, and setting out to make a best friend of Poppy-Bella Stoma, the little bundle of heroism that is now on my belly.

Oh and I am still 100% GOTH.
