After a fab, fun Friday night with Gaynor at Becky's, I woke up on Saturday morning still giggling to myself at the silliness and how much fun I'd had. It set me up for such a lovely weekend that I have been well enough to enjoy.
My aches in my back and most of my body had just about gone. All that I had was aching arms and shoulders.
I didn't feel weak or out of breath at all and I could move about a lot easier.
Saturday - we had a really nice day at home. It felt good to be able to relax and enjoy the feeling of being well. Katy Mark and Millie popped over to see us for a brew :)
We spent the evening at Raf and Rachel's which was great. We all watched the Champion's League. Enjoyed seeing Man U get beat. Ahh. Nice. Rachel put some yummy food on and we all had a good laugh.
Sunday - I felt stronger again, my arm and shoulder pain was less and my energy levels had increased slightly.
I started the day with a reeeeallly long soak in the bath. Candles, music, book and coffee. Yum. I was in there for about an hour. Normally I can't be in the bath longer than 10 mins - so Anthony was pretty surprised haha..
Later in the day I had the urge to do some sort of stretches/exercise. I have done some yoga at home before and it really helped. I wanted to feel that satisified, happy feeling but at the same time take it easy. I did some simple stretching first to see how I felt and I was ok.
So I moved onto the Wii fit. Hearing the music on there, brought back memories of when I was last on it at the other house and how I was pre cancer then. I quickly ignored looking back and kept strong and focused on the now. I was determind to help myself feel better. I did 20 mins and it was just the right amount. I was proud of myself. The good feelings kicked in and I enjoyed it so much. I want to try it again when I feel ok to do it.
In the evening we had a yummy Sunday roast together and enjoyed each other's company.
I slept well and put it down to the exercise and the good feelings it gave me mentally and physically.
Today has been good too. Had a really lazy morning - the weather was awful - all rainy and yuk. We went for a look round Go Outdoors and bought some camping things :)
I did some more Wii and stretches this afternoon. Hurrayyyyy..
Just gonna chill out now. James and Laura are on their way over soon with fish and chips - delish xxx
All in all a fantastic weekend to say 'nur nur nur nur' to the shocking week before it. Ha!
It really is proving to be a 'rollercoaster', 'no walk in the park' isn't it! x
