Day 129: Lizzie's Amethyst and Pearl


Today's earrings are another new pair from darling Lizzie. They are the prettiest combination of pearls and amethyst on long hooks. I enjoyed wearing them today under my turban - I think they're going to look even better when I get some hair back. On that note, the stubble seems to be thickening up and I'm getting better coverage, so I hope it's not too far off that I have a new 'do'.

It was cool and windy this morning, but I warmed up after a nice walk around the park with Rob and Molly (who has been better behaved these last two days!). It's still a struggle to walk, but I'm trying to add a few more steps every day in the hope it gets the fluid moving. I'm only at about half of the recommended daily 10K steps, but I hopefully these will build up quickly over the next few weeks as the swelling subsides and I get my energy back.

Back to Chemoworld this morning  - this time from some more imaging - before the radiotherapy is due to start next week. I find it stressful going back to St V imaging centre where this palaver all began. I've spent so much time and money at that place since 2009, and sweated over so many results. I should be used to it by now and more relaxed about it all, but anxiety is a very powerful emotion and hard to shut down all the time.

Rob and I came home and caught up on the gripping two part Four Corner's episode on the Lindt cafe siege. The ineptitude of the police command in the case seems almost incomprehensible. The dismissal of his sexual violence crimes beggars belief. We're lucky to have such great investigative institutions like the coroner, and the ABC to get underneath these tragic errors of judgement and hopefully, stop them from happening again.

It was lovely today to see dear Andy and the model boat named in her honour featured in the SMH. Such an amazing story!
