I am still suffering the after effects of radiotherapy, overwhelming fatigue and a sporadic gippy tummy. Nothing that a long afternoon snooze doesn't sort out.
I have managed to stroll up to the post office very slowly, but came back slightly quicker due to the aforementioned gippy tummy.
As for the little white lies, I bump into a lot of people on my limited travels, and rather than tell them about the return of the cancer, I tell them that I have done my back in by fracturing a vertebrae and as it happens a rib as well. So whilst this is not actually a lie, I am being economical with the truth. I could so be a politician!
Why do I do this? Well it's partially to save me having to deal with people's reaction and partially because to save their feelings. Also, we all know people who, when you ask them how there are, actually tell you and I am trying to avoid doing that. Clearly not succeeding all that well as otherwise I wouldn't be doing a blog.
