Hi Everyone, I hope yur day or evening is painfree and at peace.....

This would be my 3rd good day...Things are progressing well and i feel i have come on in leaps and bounds even from last week....I have been doing 10 laps of walking in my home...( From the front door through to the kithen and back is 1 lap) .... I try to do those 3 times a day...How ever if i have been plodding around then i only do 1 lot of 10 laps?....I still have the same problem as many of you ...sore ribs...scar etc....I was extremly depressed last week and in a veryyyyyyyyyyyyy dark place...However that has all changed....But i still have the moments where i cry and think why am i crying.....I think it is a good realease as you go through so many emotions with this....I have a issue with my scar at the moment....Of course i had a bypass 4 months ago and my scar is still raw realy....And me....Lol...At the bottom of the sturnum and just past it...It is so raised and sore....Very hard as well....I can't wear a bra and as i have not had a lot of activity for the past year..My body and breats have grown. They make it worse by pulling on it....I go to sleep with a small ahnd towel under them...LOL.....So i have a little bit of support....What we do to get comfey.....Lol

Yesterday i was sat out in my garden with my PJ's on and a coat and slippers on...The birds singing with a gentle breeze across my face was better than any pill i need to take....My neighbour said good morning and asked how i was etc....She also comented on my dress code...She just laughed and said it would never make the cat walks....Lol....I laughed....The reason why i am sharing this with you is enjoy the small things when they happen....Then IF you find your having a OFF time look back to them....I do and helps me a little or calms me down....It may not work for you but try it......Anyway....Today is a Good day...I will charge up my positive bank of thinking .........We are all going through a transistional period for some reason or other.....A time to reflect.....I have and therefore made some alterations in my life....Which have and are begining to be very benificial to me.....

You all take care out there.....small strong steps...there is no race just to recover and be well again........Yazz xxxxxxxx
