Unexpected side effects of cancer

Do you think that buying coloured shoes could be an under-reported a side-effect of cancer?

I'm not really the Imelda Marcos type, but since this diagnosis I've bought two pairs of high heeled satin shoes with sequins, IN THE SAME STYLE, one pair black and one pair pale pink.

Then I found the purple moccasins, often admired by women of good taste (e.g. Kasia). These were quickly followed by the much maligned mulitcoloured deck shoes (which I now can't wear because my lovely sister described the colour on the top as prosthetic-pink !!!! )

Then only yesterday I invested in a pair of minnie-mouse high heels in dusty-pink suede!!!

What is going on?

If some ppl weren't so cheeky I'd post a photo - but I'm hiding their light in a discrete bushel (unlesss the weight of public opinion demands an expose, of course!)

Hey bring back those deck shoes! Perhaps you could have a guest shoe spot. Did you know Sukhraj has a filing cabinet for her shoes in Hut 1?

Hi Suze,

The picture would not be complete unless you are wearing the polka-dot mini flounce skirt, clarabow lipstick and of course the ears. I want a full expose.

love ela.m

To change the subject from fashion , shoes and other such frivolous agendas ( joke, please don't be offended all you fashionistas out there ) , Bluespheres is being replaced by Moodle and everything will be transferred over so your work won't be lost , have no fear . In the meantime , we can consult your resources. New stuff is being placed on the old shared area for the time being.

Hi Sue, Hope you feeling well 2day. Also hope B is well also.
It's no bad thing to have a change of footwear, or to play with other colour co-ords. It's a good therapy & will offer you a distraction from thinking of 'bladder + bowel'function/or non-functions.

Is it Pink to make the boys wink & Blue to keep them true?

I don't know where I heard that one from? The things that can be 'thrown up' from long-term memory, beats me.

Anyway, take care of yourself.
Love. cousin Poe. xx
