Most of her trials though were with her reproductive system, and as a very young unmarried woman in the fifties all that went with that must have been incredibly difficult, until as she told me once, she learned 'you leave your dignity with your knickers darling, and put them both back on when its over'.
Valuable advice. She was a stunning woman who married an old fashioned man who never deserved her sadly, but lots of women meet that fate. I learnt a lot from her, especially about courage and personal strength.
Having not had kids makes it even harder, well for me it was.. My ex friend is the same she hasnt had any either.
I pushed her into having a mammogram, she had a lump..
She pushed me into having a smear, she had the odd cells.
I know Im over due for the latter.. But my mind has to be in the right spot.. and it isnt at the mo.
Oddly MrP said years ago, neither of us would get Cancer, well hes 50% right so far.
Drs and Winz done. Check.
Double vaccines at 3pm...
Dr agreed, it was angina.. Has given me a nitrolingual.. And told me to listen better.. I said Im deaf so slow at listening to my body.
He said your BP is Low.. I said Drink More fluid Mrs Burgess... he laughed and said the hospital said that I assume lol.
He is slowly learning my sense of humour lol.
WINZ said all good, has to be approved but if I dont hear anything by 5pm all good. Nice guy but he reminds me of my neighbour. But I thought he worked at the college.
So now I will find out where I can get rid of a collection of polystyrene and do my daily games.
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
