Exo's Exposé

Exo's Exposé

Looking for somewhere to hide in the Forum, no offense to anyone, I'm just kinda used to my own space - it feels safer to me. I often feel like I'm 'butting in' on other threads, I want to say something but it isn't 'in-line' with the current flow of conversation.

It rained here yesterday, dogs & cats weren't falling from the sky, but the grounds wet, there's puddles in my driveway & it's soooooooo sooooooo much cooler 😄 Guru Google even promises more!! After this weird wet stuff stopped dropping from above, I took the dogs for their walk, I do this almost every afternoon, but after a storm with close lightning strikes, my main purpose is to check the fence is still upright everywhere. I'm happy to announce it was all in tip-top shape 🙂 I noticed new puddle spots all the way around, I was sad that some trees had to be pushed over for the fence line, but the dip of their absence looks quite beautiful with a drop of moisture shimmering within. When I had completed the usual circuit I by-passed returning into the house-yard & wandered through to the dam. I think I may have been a little rain-drunk, I was hoping to see water in it, there wasn't any. I even went & stood in the very center of it's base, I think I was expecting to sink in mud - I didn't; but the cracks are gone . . . & they were huge. So if the Guru comes through with it's promise, there may yet be a puddle for my Staffy to play in 😉

I've decided to leave my camping trip to the beach for another week, rain wouldn't stop me - it rarely rains 24 hrs a day, but storms have - they often have devastingly strong winds that can break off & pick up reasonably heavy objects, that become dangerous ammunition. I've been emailing with the owners of this place, I'll still be in the off-peak season if I leave it another week - though I worry being so close to the Easter holiday, there's a more likely chance of more people. I keep telling myself I've just got to 'get over' that, that that would be all part of the experience - but I know I'm lying to myself. I picked this spot mainly because of the dog-friendly off-lead beach, but also because on the satelite view of Google maps I could see that there's no towns around it. It's one of the most isolated camping parks I've seen {that's within 5 hours of home, well - maybe just a little more}. It also admits it has old amenities, I saw negitive feedback about the place for those reasons - I think if you want to go to a resort . . . that's where you go - not to a place that describes itself as a rustic, old fashioned bush camping park 😉

Missing you Mazy Loads of love & support @Mazarita

Hello @Sophia1

I hope everything is going well for you I don't read a lot of what going on in the Forum, though I do read what I'm tagged in, please feel free to tag me in your posts.

Life's probably going to get a bit busy for me in the next couple of weeks, well . . . I don't know if busy is the right word, but I think you know what I mean. I will be thinking of you, even when I'm not on the Forum

Keep being you & I'll keep being me, because we can't be anybody else 😉

Hello @Exoplanet

love the way you said keep on being you and I'll keep on being me

Thank you also for thinking of me when not on the forum...as I think of you ..

Busy probably does not cover the next couple of weeks..

Breaking it down to what each day brings can be one way of getting through each day in the best way that you can in your way..

I do agree wholeheartedly with others, having family support regardless of what has been the case in the past will help you so much...you will value those times greatly...

You must be feeling so very overwhelmed with so much change in your life without warning. Your quiet, private lifestyle that you love has temporarily been upheaved.

Storms pass...

I am sure that if you discuss with your doctor or family your concerns and financial costs re pet care, someone will be able to find a solution.

I do believe that Cancer Council assist with financial struggles before and after treatment.

Sending you a huge hug and one for each of your beautiful dogs..

thinking of you ...letting you know that I am invisibly supporting you at all times.

Again keeping up your journal on here will be helping you so much as well as reassuring all of us who support you..

when not feeling up to the forums recognising this and putting your own wellbeing first.

everyone here understands that and wants that for you..

bless you dear @Exoplanet 💜💚💛

love Sophia

Re: Exo's Exposé

Today I see the breast surgeon & find out whether he's really willing to help me. . . not the cancer - me. I don't want a breast left that has a higher than average chance of developing cancer in the future, I don't want a prostetic to put the weight back on, I don't want a permanent imbalance of weight. I don't want to have to put my dogs back into kennels & face those fees, or have to move to my Sisters for a indetermined amount of weeks - & have to try & organize some kind of home assistance to be able to return home while still recovering, ever again if I can avoid it - & if I have a double masectomy I won't have to face breast cancer again because I won't have them! I am aware that without chemotherapy I have a greater percentage chance of not surviving 5 years & of cancer developing somewhere else in my body. I choose a double masectomy & I will continue thinking about it if the Doctor is not willing to help me with that procedure.I will ask if he knows of a Doctor in the public system that would be able to help me, he is a specialist Doctor & would be the best to ask help from. When the word 'cancer' was spoken to me, I never imagined I would have to fight for the treatment I require - this journey is not enjoyable!
