No more limbo

Hoping everyone is as well as can be expected and has found something to smile about today. Today I’m feeling in high spirits, I have a date for surgery! Finally!! And it couldn’t come any sooner!! (Well I wish it had but let’s not go there). Tuesday night I had what I can only describe as a mini-breakdown. I burst into an uncontrollable sobbing fit and couldn’t stop and could barely breath. It was scary and seemed completely out of the blue - I just absolutely lost myself for a moment (well about 30 minutes) and scarred the heck out of my three darlings and my mum who lives with me. I had to call in sick to work as I just couldn’t function. I kept breaking down into tears thinking or talking about it. My boss and my GP both suggested it was the stress of Melon and being a single mum and still working full time, dealing with my pain, etc. I’ve never felt that I was under stress - I mean I have my days, but so does everyone? Right? Anyhow, back to work tonight and now that I have a date to look forward to there is one less stress for me. I’m just greatful that my boss has been so supportive and understanding. I’m hoping for a quick recovery and a cancer-free diagnosis. I will complete an update as soon as I know anything more. Love and light to you all xx

Hi, I'm glad you have your date for surgery now and when it's over you can concentrate on getting better, just remember to be kind to yourself it will take a few weeks but you will be ok. It's also total understandable about the melt down we have all been there take care of yourself,

Dear Selkington. Yes we were shooting stars and 'Melons'😉. Its one of the funniest comparisons and stayed in my head. I saw your post yesterday and I know this feeling of being copletely distrought. I had it few days back when you have long period smiles and than days of crying:/ hope all goes well for you and not too long you will have all positive answers with plenty of sunshine ahead! Best to be surrounded by people with big smiles. Sending you many right now 😁Xxx

Lovely boss😀

We have all had days like that.

You seriously will feel better when you have the surgery and know what is ahead, the waiting is the worst, once you get the upset over you will emerge stronger, more prepared and able to cope,

Love
