This is how you fit three dogs and one person on a single bed :) Amazingly they arranged themselves like that. A perfect lineup!
If you don’t know the doggies, from L to R they are Chloe (12), Daphne (10), and Micky (14).
For the first two nights home while I still had drains in, I slept in this bed (without dogs, they just join me during the day). Thankfully now I am free of the drains and back in our own bed.
And I am so glad to be home! I haven’t been far, just from bed to sofa to bed to other sofa to bed, and I go for walks outside circling the house multiple times a day to keep my circulation healthy.
Paul walks with me in case I fall over :)
At night I wear compression stockings, which are fun to get on 😊 Maybe one day I’ll get to wear them on a flight and go on holiday. That would be nice, something to look forward to!
My satin loungewear pajamas have come into their own at the moment, they are my all-day clothes. I switch between my black and hot pink sets.

I have just about finished the excellent Camino Island series by John Grisham, with only a handful of pages to go in the final book (here on Amazon if you are interested), and I’ve read ALL the library magazines on Libby on my iPad haha.
Plus I’ve been writing inspiration in my journal (and the pink folder in the top photo).
Sometimes I like loose leaf paper for the freedom of writing what I want. I can move previous pages to the front of the folder if they are inspiring to me at a certain time.
All the reading and writing is in between naps of course. I’ve had a LOT of naps too, often before dinner.

So I’m slowing getting back to normal after my surgery (today is one week).
For the past couple of days I’ve put a little makeup on, just because I felt like it.
Although on makeup day two what I thought was taupe eyeliner I actually applied pinky-beige lipliner to my eyes. I didn’t realise until I’d finished the second eye.
Oh well, pile on the mascara and do better tomorrow!
And now it’s New Year’s Eve, in New Zealand at least. I certainly won’t last until midnight but I do plan on having a glass of champagne, we have Veuve Clicquot in the fridge 😊
Sante! And all the best to you my friends!

Happy New Year. Wishing you well and what sweet doggies.
ReplyDeleteGood to seeing you doing so well. And only after a week. Best wishes for 2026.
ReplyDeletePrayers for a complete and speedy recovery! Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, only work when you’re able. Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a full and complete recovery. Rest when you can and don’t push yourself. Healing is your new hustle.
ReplyDeleteFiona- I’m so happy that your cancer was found early and that you are fully into your recovery. I had the same issue 14 years ago. But my wonderful team of doctors brought me through and I will always be grateful. Six moths after my surgery, I returned to yoga and gentle aerobics. The stretching that we did helped me overcome stiffness in my arms and as a result, I didn’t need therapy. My oncologist has always said that 30 minutes of walking and gentle stretching contributes to a good outcome. So take care and get well. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteFiona, I came other check on you and I'm so glad you're doing well! Happy New Year! I pray you have a complete recovery and healing and you can move into the new year with ease. You always have such a wonderful attitude. Have a great week and take care :)
