Pat's doing well after his cystectomy and it's great to see him making small steps forwards. He is managing to transfer independently from the bed to his wheelchair (he's paraplegic). He made it down the garden for a while today and we enjoyed the sunshine.
It's been such a miserable spring and summer for us that we lay in bed last night thinking of nice moments we could plan. Not the unachievable like fancy holidays but achievable moments.....like taking a picnic and parking in...
Well after a fairly good run of being stable, Dad had a blip yesterday, Mum said his blood pressure dropped and he was complaining of being even more tired. The GP has upped his iron dose and he will have tests next week before seeing the specialist. The last time this happened he had a stomach bleed and was hospitalised. Timing as ever impeccable Dad, with Mum's birthday on Monday!

The wave was big enough for the surfers brave enough to dodge the water propelled tree trunks to surf for a while, although I don’t suppose...
It's been a bit up and down this week. I don't know what got into me on Wednesday - apart from a bit of tiredness I felt really chipper and very glad that the nausea of week one hadn't returned. Unfortunately the last couple of days haven't been quite so great - the nausea is back and I've been a bit more sore and tired. The nausea is still manageable though so I guess I'm still doing pretty well all things considered.
I'm glad we are heading into the weekend now so can enjoy...
