Hi everyone ,
I have been keeping busy, the family have been great and very supportive, and friends too have been really great, i am not going to keep this to myself and sit and worry about it alone, as my friends and family have shown they are there for me as and when i need them.
Went to a garden centre for the first time yesterday and bought all manner of things for the garden, it will keep my sister busy while i am in hospital ! and she loves messing in the garden, while its not my favorite passtime, but no doubt i will be called upon to dig this and that.
A couple of family friends who have both just gone through cancer treatment/surgery themselves only a few weeks ago, have been a great help and alayed any fears that i had, i am so greatful for the support of this site and the kind people on it, and the information contained here is second to none i have found, also for those of you who are interested in the various proceedures that we will have to go through (not for everyone i am sure) but i like to know in advance what to expect, most of the proceedures can be found on 'youtube' as instructional vids and mostly explained by a proffesional, so yesterday i was able to see the TURBT proceedure being carried out, which once again has put my mind at ease.
I think i am going to put my house on the market after the op and move to a static caravan on a lovely little site near to where i live, i have no need for a 3 bed house and all the accutrements that we all hord, so a few boot sales will be needed to off load all my junk, unfortunatly i will have to sell my beloved motorcycle to enable me to get my affairs in order, never mind i have two other ones i will have use.
At the moment i find it a bit difficult being at home, as i am always at work usually for 14 hours a day, and usually work some of my off days too, but i am coming round to it, infact i think i could get to like it in time!
Last evening some work colleuges from a past employment invited us round for dinner, the food was fantastic, and the conversation was really nice, it was a very enjoyable evening, we staggered home very well oiled! however something has given me a hangover this morning! (i wonder what that could be!), oh well probably wont be able to drink for a while after the op? so best make the most of it while i can.
To all of you who are having treatments today and this week, i hope they go well for you, and that you are not too porly afterwards.
all the best.
Pauli.............
