Phew

I know, it's been quite a while since I last wrote. As I said, I'm not very good with writing down "dear diary" style.

Anyway. It's really hard right now to get used to being alone again. He said "you were living alone for years before we got together and you were doing just fine" and I replied "yes, but at the time I was fairly healthy, not partially disabled by long-term side effects of cancer treatment".

I'm getting better though. In a way. My exercises with the 2 lbs dumb-bells are going good. I do cheat a little for the second and third round of exercises of the day. The first round I stand up. The other ones - I do them while sitting on the couch watching movies. I am careful to keep my torso nice and vertical and my shoulders pulled back. I am able now to do 25-50 move batches. Which is great. And I'm doing some core exercises, abdomen, legs and specifically thighs exercises. And I can already see (after 10 days of doing it) results - the most noticeable is the  fact that now I can get up from sitting on the floor without needing to prop myself on a piece of furniture.

I'll try taping the exercises I do - maybe some of you who read this have had a LD flap reconstruction too and are researching exercises that would help you get back in shape.

Oh yes, and I need to post updated photos of the garden.

Here are some photos though, of my latest "Goddess spirit dolls".
