The new year

It has been a while since I last posted and as I have explained this is likely to be the case due to decreased problems with my foot and because there is already a lot of content on here, I am still happy to be contacted and I am still going to update as and when I can, although life is keeping me busy at the moment.

So this is actually my first post of the new year.... What has happened since last time I posted? 

• We have had the 20 week ultrasound scan and found out we are having a girl :-) Everything looked great and I have felt her kick. 
• I have been using the stick less and less and have not had to use it at all since the New Year, this includes after having played badminton for an hour. 
• I have been contacted by several people asking for help, hopefully I have helped them. 
• We are continuing work at the BDS and are hoping to make lots of improvement and hopefully they will results in greater donations and therefore we can do more. 

I think that it is really, but I like to keep everyone updated, basically my foot is still improving and my legs / ankles etc are hurting less and less as I continue to reduce stick usage. I am now 6 months post radiotherapy.

All the best to everyone.

In the cold, cold night

So this morning I felt a bit of pain in my foot, nothing much really and nothing to be concerned about, after all radiotherapy is not a cure but rather a treatment that is meant to help alleviate the condition and alleviating it is. I was just that this morning my feet were very cold and as with last year I am noticing that this still tends to cause some pain in my bad foot, whether this is because the tendon tightens and this then causes strain on what is left on the lump who knows? (Guess I a going to have to wear warm shoes to do what I did in the picture)

Anyway I am still in shorts and working hard on various Ledderhose and BDS things. We also had the 12 week scan this morning and got to see the heart beating, the stomach and bladder were full and it had two little hands and feet. It was great, so come 20th May, or there about there will be a little Mr or Miss Manley around the place. Can't wait to teach them all about Ledderhose, maybe I should start with animal noises though?
