Now this is not fair. I've got bladder cancer and I just don't want any other problems. But I'm getting slightly ahead of my self here. After the lovely "post results" weekend, Monday morning arrived and T left for work nice and early so that she could get back late afternoon rather than early evening - it's nice to have some decent time together rather than a rushed meal then realise that it is bedtime already.

So, the weekend has come and gone and I'm on my countdown to my big op. And what a strange weekend it was too. The tale of poles apart visitors and "devastated" friends.

I slept for nearly 10 hours that night, better than I had done since my teenage years. Looking back on it now I can't remember a thing that I did that day except making a call to the specialist nurse to see whether or not the histology results had been completed so that I could…

My story continues. I'd been admitted to hospital as an emergency case on the Tuesday and had had the first op on Thursday. That's just two weeks ago but it seems like a life time ago and only yesterday at the same time. This cancer stuff really mangles up the brain doesn't it! :-) Important: this blog contains thoughts on rude things - you have been warned!!!
