I got knocked down… but I got up again

Not loads to update on the medical front, although I did get the letter today from the consultant to the GP, which basically confirmed everything we talked through.

One small part made me smile though, as it referred to the ‘same side’, but it should have said Tameside… or, as it’s known here as, ‘Shameside’ 😂. And before anyone comes for me, I do know some really brilliant and lovely people who work there, but let’s just say my past experiences haven’t really helped the reputation.

Anyway, all in all it’s been a bit of a mixed bag of a Bank Holiday weekend for me.

Friday night was great – I went out to the local as normal, great atmosphere, laughs and chatter. Saturday was a nice happy, chilled one too. Then Sunday… well, Sunday I went on a full on ‘Debbie Downer’.

I had planned to go out again, but I couldn’t face it. I felt sickly, mopey, and proper sorry for myself l, so I ended up staying in and snoozing on the couch instead, feeling sad and fed up. It felt like everything had caught up with me and it hit me as to what’s ahead and I just didn’t want to see anyone or have to talk about it all.

But then, Monday morning I was back up and running – literally.

Me and the dog running up and down the canal, blowing the cobwebs away, reminding myself I’m still here and I’m not a lost cause.

Later I caught up with a couple of close friends and felt a million percent better. Back on it, head clearer and ready to fight again.

On top of all that, there’s been so many supportive messages from everyone.

I shared the news on Facebook and the response has been incredible. So much love, support, kindness – it really does make a difference, more than anyone probably realises.

It’s all given me that Tubthumping energy back.

Knocked down? Yes.
Staying down? Absolutely not.
