The weekend just gone, James and me went away for a few days in Edinburgh..

The day before we went, I dug out my little suitcase on wheels.
Evidently, the last time I used it, was when I went to New York, at new year 2004/2005.. it still had the luggage labels on.
That made me feel a bit sad. Partly because I'd like to go back, but mostly because it reminded me of my life when it was 'normal'.
I try not to think too much, about my life before bc. I struggle when I think about things that happened in my previous life, because I know I'll never have that kind of peace of mind again.

While we were in Edinburgh, we..
Went on an open top bus tour.
Went on a Ghost Walk.. an underground tour of the South Bridge vaults
Went to the Museum of Scotland and the Royal Museum
Went on a tour of Mary Kings Close
Went to the Edinburgh Dungeon. I got accused of being a Pagan Witch, and James got his tongue ripped out, as a method of torture.
Went to Edinburgh Zoo.. had a great time.. and I got a fluffy toy Koala. I soooo want a Koala!!
Went to Rosslyn Chapel, which is just beautiful
Went to The Witchery restaurant, for din dins on Sunday evening, which was a perfect end to a perfect weekend.

I really didn't want to come home, and back to reality.
I actually thought, on the Sunday night, whilst lying in bed.. if I died that night, I'd have died a very happy person.

8th July was my '1 year since diagnosis' anniversary, and I can honestly say I only thought about it once, the whole day.. that was when I was having a shower, at night.
I'm so glad we went away for the weekend.
That day last year, was the worst day of my life.  But the same day this year, was one of the best :)

I was a bit sad that I had to come back to hospital appointments this week.
I saw the oncologist yesterday, who told me the heart scan I had last week was fine, and had treament today.
No more hospital for 3 whole weeks now!
