Everything has changed

[Shaz82]

It must be very frustrating for you Kate and I am sorry that you have been feeling so down. Reuben sounds as happy as a dog can be with his humans and little sister. Of course, we all wish they were constantly frolicking in the woods etc. and I worry that Maisy is happy and exercised and getting everything she wants, we love them and want the best for them. Sometimes though, when she chooses where to go on walks, it isn't to the woods or fields or to see her friends, it's just sniffing in the street and walking alongside me. They are our companions and will adapt to our needs and feelings and abilities and are very good at it too. I hope you are feeling better today, don't overdo it x

I’m totally with you in your frustration.

Having recovered from my op I am feeling fine and back to normal. But I now need to take it very easy for twelve weeks.

NOT natural for me!

I seem to have good days and days that arent so good . The major surgery almost three months ago definitely made a difference but the angioplasty has not improved on the first improvement if that makes sense ! I was told that the blockage was 15cm long , it took a hell of a lot of pressure to get the ` drain rods ` through and has left me quite sore . Mr. Dix had previously told me that it may not be a successful as they would like and certainly would not give me the same level of improvement that the surgery did . Oh well , I will know more on the 20th, just hope I dont need anything else doing xxx

Your frustration is completely understandable. I hope you get good answers on the 20th and see more improvement before then. "Getting the drain rods through" sounds REALLY painful!

Ah Kate I am sorry you are feeling a bit down. Try to think of the positives, and that although you are not leaping around like a young gazelle quite yet, that you are nonetheless soooo much better than before your surgery - quite apart from the fact that your health was in serious danger before. Have patience, you will get there. xxx

How are you today Kate, @kateincornwall

Thank you for asking Cath . I am alright , just a case of keeping positive whilst also acknowledging that I am unlikely to ever get back to my former fitness level , but at least things are better than they were xx
