Paul phoned today saying he wouldn't be up today as he had all his bills to pay.The one day I was hoping he was visiting,he wasn't,normally it wouldn't of been a problem.Today was my mums birthday and I was hoping to get her a card and a present and take it up to her as I hadn't been able to get them yet.Luckily I had the foresight to ring my mum earlier and wish her a happy birthday but it would of been nice to actually see her.Slightly 'cheesed off' to say the least,Oh Well! never mind at least...
After Katy and I had a further conversation after talking to Mo in the bedroom we decided not to increase her steroid dosage yet. However Katy did suggest that I gave Mo her current dosage earlier in the afternoon,about 2-2.30pm rather than at 6pm and thought that it may help Mo sleep better at night as the tablets would be absorbed in her system by then.We needed to get her indigestion problems,caused by the steroids,under control first and moving the time of the steroid dosage to earlier would...
Katy popped in today to see Mo and see how she was after the Day Centre had rung her as they were a little worried about Mo. I didn't hear Katy come in as I was getting the washing in from the garden and thought mo was talking to herself when I came back in lol.I left Katy chatting to Mo in the bedroom, having their 'girly chat'and I started to fold up the clean washing.Katy then came into the lounge to speak to me and see how I had been.I told katy that I had a bit of a wobble last night about 10pm...

Wednesday 7th Ocotber. This will be my final blog until I come out “the other side” after my operation. When I come out of theatre it will be either to the high dependency unit or the morgue. I know which one I prefer but don’t know which one fate will have in store for me.

I have just found out yesterday that my dad (aged 53) has Adenocarcinoma stage 3 lung cancer. It started off in his right lung and has spread to his left lung. He is awaiting radiotherapy and chemotherapy and had hodkinsons disease when he was 16. I was just wandering if anyone has been through a similar experience?
Had a most delightful text message from Sascha today - her daughter (she is a pupil at the school I used to work in where Sascha still works) has had a collection for me at the school!! And they want to know what I would like!! How sweet is that?! I was too gobsmacked and goosebumpy to think about what might be nice ... Sascha asked if I'd like a tattoo, but I don't know if I am brave enough these days ... I have 4, and have pondered on another ... hmmm. It's either a tattoo or a nice...
