Cup Half Full - Positive Mental Attitude: TFIF

Well... today was much like yesterday. Mum's still feeling fine, still feeling comfortable and pain-free... the only difference is that her taste-buds seem to be affected now and she can only taste bits of what she's eating and drinking...

She's done 3 loads of washing, and emptied and re-filled the dishwasher, among other things and seems to have had quite a productive day.

The only thing was that (and she will be mentioned alot, I feel) one of our gobby neighbours was outside banging on next door's window at around 8am, which woke Mum up... and Mum had been awake for a couple of hours during the night so it's made her quite tired. Broken sleep is never good for anyone, let alone someone going through what she's going through.

So with that, and the puppy being an absolute mental case this afternoon... Mum's knackered so is resting up on the sofa and hopefully having a snooze!

Dan and I are both so proud of her, as I expect everyone else is too. Anyone who knows Mum knows that she's a fighter, and by being so stubborn and keeping a positive mental attitude, we should have expected she'd be doing so well... but we take each day as it comes, you really never know what's round the corner.

I am currently the proudest daughter in Britain though & hope that I become as courageous and as inspirational as my wonderful, beautiful Mum.

The support we've received has been amazing... It really does show that when times get hard, family and friends are worth their weight in gold... so on behalf of all 3 of us, I'd like to say thank you to those who've been here. Without your kind words, and lovely gestures, we'd probably feel pretty alone... But we don't. We feel loved, and supported and know that everyone is behind us in this fight.

Got some photos that I just felt like uploading because they made me smile.....
