For those who do not know I was diagnosed with Cancer around a year ago due to a tumour on my Kidney.
Without mentioning names I want to send a heartfelt thank you to the many members on here who I can now count as good friends for reaching out and helping me come to terms with it all. So
Up until 12mth ago I didn’t think there was such a thing as depression and Anxiety!
Being old school I’d shake my head and say give
yourself a slap and get on with it for goodness sake.
How wrong I was after experiencing both of these first hand now and still slightly suffering from the latter.
It has took almost a year for me to come to the conclusion there are a lot worse off than me and I want to share the best advice I have been given. It was from my wonderful Macmillan nurse only this week, she told me Colin you are living with a condition, the emphasis being the word LIVING!
All the while this bloody Anxiety keeps telling me I’m dying of the big C. The brain is a crazy thing at times and staying positive is where it’s at and Pinball is the perfect remedy for these times.
I won’t dwell on my condition too much but I am in for my Big Op this coming Thursday and if all goes well hopefully out over the weekend.
I have however been told no heavy lifting for at least 3 month so I haven’t exactly picked the right hobby with 3 incoming pins in the next weeks/months
I will also be hanging my Ski Instructors badge up as a bad fall on the dry slope is like coming off a motorbike without armour
So I’ll be shutting up shop for at least a few days and depending how the op goes well I will endeavour to get back on my feet asap.
In the meantime I’ve a few last min overdue orders to get out so apologies there but I may have to put a few on hold until I assess how I can manage.
If nothing else it gives Big Bertha and my brain a well needed rest too
Thx again for the support peace out Coly
