So pleased was able to go out without my portable oxygen concentrator, felt so good, so not on oxygen at all, cant tell you how good it felt to look like everyone else. Coming down with sore throat but you cant have everything x

Hi Kiera,

That is really good news! I know what you mean about looking like everyone else. I've had a mild cold this week, but I am getting through it. Having something "normal" wrong with me and recovering from it makes me feel like people who are in good health.

Thank you, glad your recovering from your cold

in reply toKiera49

Thanks, Kiera! I must say I am not the most patient of patients if you know what I mean! I lead such a busy life, that I find colds more annoying than anything else, as they get in the way of the things I want to do. I was looking forward to having the day off work today, but I ended up working and I was feeling a bit resentful about that when all I really wanted to do was have a duvet day. But my husband reminded me that my clients rely on me and it's up to me to continue providing a service for them, so I picked myself up and carried on. At least I am finished now and can look forward to the weekend.

Sophie, I love the term duvet day! I hope you get one this weekend.

Thank you, Elaine! It's a British expression! I guess it's pretty self-explanatory. I was just feeling a bit fed up yesterday.

One of my clients has been off work with the flu, so she wanted an additional walk for her dog yesterday. I found out about it last minute. I was really looking forward to having the afternoon off after I had finished up for the morning, plus I hadn't been feeling 100% myself and wanted to rest. I like to plan my work schedule in advance so I know what I am doing for the week. It can throw me when things change or I get last minute bookings.

I have also been trying to change my hours so that I work Tuesday-Thursday rather than Monday-Friday, just leaving Monday and Friday open for ad hoc clients. Most of my appointments are on Mondays and Fridays (my zoladex appointments are on Tuesdays though). So that's my way of trying to take some downtime for myself so I am not constantly on the go.
