The Demise of Roland Ratso: Chapter fifty nine

Friday 17th and the waiting is over. I spend too much time looking at Seanty posts and have to rush my bath – along with having to write Eleanor a letter telling her why I haven’t got time to make her breakfast. The wind is cold and it is misty – not my sort of day and I am disappointed because the weather people said it was going to warm up. I was in the waiting room for 10.45am. It is a lovely waiting room today. There are a number chatting about remission, treatment that is working and so on. It just feels good. I am into the consulting room at 11.00am and have to get on the weighbridge and then wait for the consultant. There is a lot of mumbling going on next door and a few laughs. I hear the name Wilkie a few times or think I do. The consultant comes in and says that I am to have more chemo. He is very pleased with how my treatment is going looking at the low definition pictures they have got. He asks if I have a date for my scans and I tell him next Wednesday. He says the surgeons will contact me directly – he has done as much as he can for now – I will have no more radiotherapy and surgery will be brought forward. Is that good news or bad news? I’ll let you decide. MY prescription is ready in record time – I am exactly an hour door to door – hospital doors that is. Still got the medilink bus and the car journey home but hey ho – it’s a good day I suppose. Eleanor is glad that I am back home. She asks if the nurses have been writing on my bum and I tell her they haven’t. She is very pleased. The uncertainty of surgery says it all really. OK things are going well but I still don’t know my destiny. Might not even know it until I wake up after surgery but really there is no point in speculating at present. There are a few things niggling me at the moment – not anything Ratso related but I think I might have the weekend off blogging because my inspiration seems to have waned somewhat. Part of it is the Seanty situation. My father always said that there were three sides to every argument, my side, your side and the right one. Seanty is an engineer ny trade. I am an engineer by trade but I am also a polymath. My friend who is a psychologist says that engineers are very linear and that is certainly Seanty’s character trait. He has been interpreting the rules of this site – not to his own advantage – but in the way an engineer would. The site rules say don’t promote alternatives and when Seanty has seen anyone advocate ANY alternative he has reported it under the rules. To him that is what is required. But then he is engaged in a diatribe over basically the same ground that he has complained about. I shall say no more. I am off to take my linear polymathic beer sozzled brain elsewhere. I shall ,make no more comment on Seanty on my blog and will return refreshed. Got to go – the weight is coming on.
