Me again - I know who else would it be :)
Main news is I had oncology appointment today. After much waiting!!!!!!!!!!!, chatting, poking, and prodding, oncologist turned round and said I was the healthiest person she had seen today - of course my mind immediately thought - nae bad for a dyin person - tee hee. She is seeing me again before Paris just to make sure I am fine, but she, and me are well happy.
About Paris, I have now booked hotel, which looks onto Eiffel Tower.
Went to meet in Leeds last week, boy it took so much out of me, much more than I thought. I guess because everything is so stable, I expect more from my body than it allows. Just have to remind myself sometimes that I cannot do anything like I used to do, but I suppose if I dont try I wont know?
As a result of Leeds being so tiring, I am going to cancel my trip to the Holy Isle, as it is so much hassle to get there. Really wanted to go, but dont think the after effects will make it worthwhile.
SUZIE PASSED HER DRIVING TEST. I am so so proud of her. She really was not confident, but she did it, and altho she still does not like driving, she is loving the freedom!
Still out loads with friends. My new local has become McNasties bar in town with G - great place with friendly folks.
Have Asda bag pack tomoz, not looking forward to it from standing/back point of view, but pub will make it better after :)
My back is still pretty sore - going to GP next week to review meds, and have ordered lumbar support cushions online, so hopefully they will help.
So, all in all pretty good. Mind is still happy so thats excellent without happy pills. Weather been pretty good and sunny so have had lots of walks, just me and my ipod much of the time, and that makes me happy. The most natural anti-depressant there is.
Ta ta for now

Still feeling pretty darned good
Hi there
Again its been a wee while since I posted, I must make more of an effort to post more regularly.
Whats been happening?
Loads of lunches, meets with friends etc.
Fundraising plans coming along nicely, and also have a bag pack at Asda, so that should make quite a bit.
I have had a lot of back pain since December. Got an x ray, and although I was a bit worried, I was not worked up about results, just thought what will be will be. It turns out I have sacralisation of L5 - which is a congenital thing (go google it), so basically will just have to put up with pain.
I have started back at gym and out walking, altho both make back sore, I have got to lose some weight - the way I see it , its a double edged sword - the heavier I am, the worse I think my back will be!!
I have quite a lot of stuff coming up next few months, which always makes me feel good. But on the whole, I feel very good anyway, still very happy and positive.
Next week I am going to Leeds for an overnight stay to meet up with about 17 other cyber friends from bc pals. Just booked that today, so looking forward to that. The day after I get back from there, I go to Inverness with Jan for spa night. Then it will be the bag pack, then the fundraiser.
In May, I have booked for a 'mindfulness retreat' on the Holy Isle. I wont know another soul there, but have got so much out of my mindfulness, I thought what the hell - throw caution to the wind , so that's a 4 day thing.
In June, Suzie and I are off to Paris for 4 nights for Suzie's 18th. She is doing great, and is still loving her photography course at college. We have been out driving lots as she has her driving test next week - good luck Suzie!! Her driving has come on in leaps and bounds.
I have joined 'groupon', so have had a spa treatment about once a week/fortnight, for the last month or so, so that's been fab too.
Dad had a trip and smashed his face last week, that was a bit traumatic, but he has made a good recovery - bit scary tho!!
Think that's about it for now. As I said, its all pretty good, long may it continue.
Thank you for reading - if there are still any out there.
Love

Oh - took Suzie to Dunnottar Castle today for her to get pics, I had forgotten how beautiful it is so have attached one or 2 pics.
