Update from Rienij

[Rienij70]

First off all, I like to thank everyone for sending me the lovely messages, I really appreciate it. It has been a very difficult week for me.

My PAF has turned into semi permanent, which I am sure is because off all the stress. I do try to meditate a couple of times a day, but find it very difficult to relax. And I increased my Bisoprolol as the doctor advised me to do. I think it keeps the heart rate down, and therefore is more manageable. I might put another call through to my GP tomorrow.

As you probably have heard on the news, I am not the only one to have my cancer treatment postponed. My oncology nurse did ring but was quite vague as to what I could expect. As the consultants review things on a regular basis. So I might get my operation in 4, 6, or 12 weeks. Not the news to keep me calm.

My sisters funeral was last Wednesday. With only immediate family present. A very strange affair, as there was no wake after the funeral, and her children couldn’t even hug each other. I couldn’t attend but my niece is sending me a recording of the service. Very surreal.

One good thing is that my husband is blissfully unaware of everything that is going on in the world. He lives in his own little world.

I hope you are all keeping safe, and once more thank you for all the support you have shown me.

Love from Rienij

What an amazing soul you are. Oh Brave New World we are slowly trying to learn to live in. I have another friend also in limbo re her cancer op and so this makes me very aware of what you are going through. Sending cyber hugs and love.

Dear Rienij

You are going through a most horrendous time and I am so sorry. The stress caused by all that you are having to cope with can only be imagined and I will keep you in my thoughts from hereon. You said to us to keep safe and I reciprocate that back to you a hundred times.

You have certainly been under alot of stressful and sad events. Im glad you are meditating. It is hard for me to meditate but I think its important for our peace and mental health. Dont forget that our bodies are designed to self heal so try and stay hydrated and well fed, a little sunshine and exercise if you can. I cannot imagine losing a sibling and not being able to grieve in a way we are accustomed. Here there are no funerals going on. Try and take care of yourself. We are cheering you on! Lots of hugs💜
