Hi all, just thought I would give you a run down on whats kept me away for sooooo long!!
So are the pills helping....yes I think they are. He seems a bit more mellow but still able to function. He does seem to get tired quicker....is that the pills or the depression or the effects of "c" ??????
As the colder days draw in, his speech is failing him, this leads to frustration cos I cant always understand what he is saying. He also suffers a lot of pain too from the cold. He still agrees that I should come in on any Dr's appointments as in the week he had to go to GP on his own (I was at another surgery with my 4 1/2 yr old having her flu jab done). I wanted him to get his back checked out, it is probably muscular but it has been giving him grief for a couple of weeks now.
Anyway, he couldnt hear what she was saying half the time even though he told her his hearing had deteriated since RT. He has a pain in his head (just above his ear) that he asked her about....it has been checked out before and onco think its all to do with nerve damage, he just forgets things sometimes.... "Oh not sure what that is, you havent had chemo or anything so"......bloody GP. Well good for him, he told her in short sharp words that if she paid attention to what he had said and read his bloody notes instead of guessing she would see he had 6wks of RT. Again he felt let down and now refuses to go back..... I will give it till Monday then talk to him about another appointment and I will go with him.
We went away in the caravan for Halloween..spooky..It was bloody cold and wet. Dave kept his scarf on which does help but he wouldnt agree ha ha.
Our daughter came too as she was organising the Fancy Dress Halloween Party, we hired the barn next to where we pitched.....my grand-daughter and her friends prepared the barn....spooky hanging things, talking butlers, green witches, ...it looked fantastic. There was curry and chilli and Dave made a big pot of onion soup.....I organised games for all to play...we had a great time, I even had a couple of rums followed by some very nice port....
Now I have to say I have never known Dave to dress up.....maybe because our girl was putting so much into it, it helped him to get into the spirit of it......He went as a Zombie, he had our grand-daughter rubbing mud over his face and clothes to make him look more appealing ha ha....I went as a witch, cos I am, even had a talking broomstick ha ha.
We had a really good night, plenty of food and drink, lots of happy faces, young and old. Good music too, my friend and I had a dance-off with the grand-daughter and her friends, couple of gate-crashing dad's joined the kids but what can I say.... We won, the oldies...yeah !
Why is it when your nearly 53, pissed as a parrot, you think you can do the bump like you did when you was 20......couldnt move next day...not the hangover, just the joints wouldnt work.
F.A.C....our fat awkward cow of a dog has been to the vet again with yet another skin complaint, bank account £164 lighter.
Car went for MOT.....failed, about £200 to make it better....might be going to the scrap yard ...
On Monday our 1st born Grand-daughter will be 18.....where have all those years gone?
On Tues Dave has onco for check-up, not worried this time, that feels great....Im setting off at 7am to travel for 2hrs to RNOH Stanmore for my check-up on my lumpy foot. Hope to be back in time to go with Dave as his appointment isnt till 3pm
So Ive wrote alot of poo really, just another week in our lives
Shaz (((((((((((XXXX))))))))))))))
