And another funny thing......

  • Am I taking too many painkillers?

    I don’t normally remember my dreams.

    Last night I was awake ( I thought) thinking all sorts when I heard a cat come up the stairs and into our room. It leapt up and sat on my head. I tried to shout out my husband’s name but try as I might nothing came out! My husband was woken by me screaming ‘cat’ very loudly in his ear - he was somewhat traumatised by this.I was apparently talking quite normally about hearing…

  • You have to laugh at this one!

  • 25 days being cooked!

    I haven’t added to my blog for a while - not because I haven’t had a laugh along the way but because after 25 days of radiotherapy plus the weekly chemo dose I have been too shattered to write it down.

    Today should have been my final radiotherapy session but due to machine breakdown yesterday was cancelled. It felt like a bitter blow but I got over it and now have a Saturday session so tomorrow will be the…
