Winter wonderland.

1 minute read time.

Well here we are 3 weeks through the next 4 week period before the next injections. Pat has been quite good and not sick at all apart from one episode and his Buccal tablets stopped it. They go between the gum and teeth and dissolve gradually. They were given by our GP and seem to work well. He still gets rather tired and short of breathe at times but is improved overall.

LIfe brings other peripheral challenges like  the 5 " of snow that fell in the night, my injured foot and the fact that I had to take to my bed yesterday with the worst cold I have had for ages. This is all nothing compared to the Cancer but does affect my role as carer. Managed to drive down to the supermarket first thing yesterday wrapped up like a yeti and got supplies in. Then went straight under the duvet. I have registered for online shopping just in case and I also have good neighbours. Feeling better this am but now poor Pat has got it. He also has to have a tooth out on Wednesday if he is up to it. What fun life is.

Despite this I am looking out at the Winter Wonderland in our little garden here in Suffolk and the child in me is loving the snow. What a pity that man comes along and treads in it lol.

    Hi nicnjc,  

    Thanks for the good wishes. Devon is a lovely county and I am pleased you are snow free. It is bitterly cold here and the snow that fell yesterday has not budged an inch. I am bracing myself to wrap up and go out to clear the car. The sight of me in two coats and my woolly hat is something to behold.

    Pat as, always, is hit harder by a cold, but I am hoping he will be ok for Wednesday, when he has to have a tooth out. We shall see. The dentist has been very good and we are lucky to still be NHS.

    Hope things are alright with you Nic.

    Do take care,

    Panda.

    Hello Nic,

     

    We have escaped from the driveway I am pleased to say lol. February is a notorious month for bad weather up here, so roll on the Spring.

    That first anniversary is a hard one and I hope you were able to bear up and think of the good times. Support from family and friends is such a help. I have a very good friend who is such a happy and fun person and I really appreciate her. 

    Take care of yourself,
