So it’s (just over) halfway through the year. It’s been quite a long couple of days, with a trip up to London for a scan, and back again. in fact as I write this i am waiting for my scan and I am radioactive ☢️

Being blind as usual added a little extra complication to this trip. My mum and partner weren’t able to make it this time. But I have an incredible friend who stepped up and is waiting for me in the hospital waiting room. So thank you to her – she’s a true hero ❤️

But I would like to take a moment to look at the goals I set myself in Januaryand see where I am at with them

Goal 1 was to be able to walk for more than a mile without pain or needing to stop. ✅

My energy levels are limited, due to my chemo but it is possible physically 😊

Goal 2 was to get back to the gym 🚫 sadly no, I actually cancelled my gym membership because I am far too unwell and tired to use it, for now.

Goal 3 was to have a holiday, ✅ I’ve had a little weekend away in Devon that was so lovely, and am thinking about a little sunshine and lazy poolside holiday soon too.

Goal 4 was to work on my fear of being alone, this is still a work in progress!!

Goal 5 was to go back on the guide dogs waiting list. Again, because of my energy levels i am currently not in a position to do this just yet.

I’m pleased with what I have managed so far and know that the ones I’ve not managed aren’t me failing anything – things are really hard right now, and that’s just the way it is.

Keep everything crossed for my scan results, please. 🤞🏻

My hand with a cannula in it, just after the radioactive solution has been put in before my scan. My nails are painted black, apart from my ring finger that’s a pale pink with a little black heart.
