    I honestly don't know why I don't just go and live in the Churchill. Well, I do know, it's a bit bleak and my house is much nicer, plus it's a bugger to get a bed. But for all the time I spend there, I might as well move in. I'm already due for chemo on the 15th, and on the 18th I have to go and see Naj (and tell him I think the fluid's back, which I don't imagine will amuse him); then, while I was asleep this afternoon…

    Every day I make my bed neatly, smooth down the duvet, tuck it down the side of the bed and the footboard. And every morning I wake up cocooned in a 30-tog pretzel with my feet sticking out.

    Today is a red-letter day in the saga of Hilary versus the Churchill Hospital - which, btw, I am fairly sure is not supposed to be a contest. We had three slightly iffy things to do, all three of them turned out fine, and we were on our way back home in under two hours.

    Well, okay, when you say 'under two hours', it doesn't sound all that good ...

    First off, Judy wanted to see the parking office about…

    Today is a very important day in the annals of the B- family (I feel like a Victorian novelist, putting it like that. My mother would have said, "And a right B family it is, too. But I digress). Today, as I was saying, is the birthday of my sister-in-law, Michelle.

    What has this to do with cancer, you may ask, although I'd think it was a bit cheeky of you if you did. It has this to do with it: Michelle is a two…

    WARNING: CONTAINS VOMIT.

    This is old news now but, as I've said before, there's no point in keeping a cancer blog if I don't keep it up to date. (There isn't much point to it either way, but let that pass.)

    So, I can't be bothered to do the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey special effects. We are going back just over two weeks, deal with it. Also, this is going to be loooooong.
    *ahem* *clears throat…
