You know how when you haven't posted for a while, & it feels even more weird to actually post?
*face palm*
So, sorry - I am around & I'm okay. I just don't do much online anymore.

As a quick catch up - since my last post, I've had two new cancerous tumors, two surgeries & one round of radioactive iodine. Things are looking better now & I'm having bi-monthly ultrasounds to check for any other growths. Fingers crossed, things are clear so far.

In more pleasant news:

• I've had a 'big birthday' (50!!) which I celebrated with a fancy dress party with my friends & family & had the Best. Time. Ever.


• Buddy is an old, rather frail boy now, but he's plodding on & still enjoying life. He'll be 13 in January & is managing really well, despite his IBD & arthritis (which we're keeping under control with diet & medication.)


• I've learnt to crochet & am now addicted to making amigurumi animals!


• I've joined a local, amateur theatre company & am enjoying helping with wardrobe & front of house (not acting - you won't get me on stage!)

Here's my little old man enjoying a day at the beach a couple of weeks ago. ♥



Hugs to all!

Sorry to hear about the tumors, but happy you have no new growths!

And I am tickled crazy to have a crochet buddy! Don't know if you're on facebook, but I have a page there called Sew Crochet Crazy where I exhibit (and try to sell) my creations. Haven't gotten into amigurumi yet.

Buddy looks great for an old guy. My boxer, Gracie, will be 10 this year. Diet and vitamins keep her going, but she's got a lot of grey now.
