Another small step. I’ve got to exercise before my op, or the death rate goes up. But my bad ankle hurts really badly if I exercise.
I had a steroid injection into the ankle last year, which helped. The idea was to give me time to think about freezing the knee or replacing the joint (which could require up to a year to straighten the leg first).
Then the cancer got in the way, and now the steroid has worn off as well.
So I wrote a nice letter asking for an emergency injection, and I got a phone call yesterday(Mon) for a preop Tuesday and surgery next Wed 13 Jul. What nice people, thanks.
So now I will have no excuse if I don’t exercise.
And tonight we went out to a Chinese buffet to celebrate end of chemo and me eating again.
AND I ATE:
- 6 different kinds of starters
- Beef with Black Bean sauce
- Chicken Satay
- Beef with OK sauce
- Spare rib
- Icecream
- Fruit
It was great.
My goodness, I’m going to a Chinese Banquet tomorrow evening , I won’t eat half as much as that, I wish I had your take-away capacity !! Love Marion
