    Can you believe it......

    Can you believe it............i'm actually in London, and start my treatment tomorrow!!

    I'm staying in a hotel tonight, and have to be at the Royal Free Hospital in the morning!! They will then take me down to Nuclear Medicines for the treatment, and I will then begin my 1 week in isolation!!!!

    It all happened so fast, I only got the phonecall on Thursday evening, and the doctors secretary said "You know when you come in for your treatment on Monday?"

    One of those days
    Hello to all on this beautiful sunny morning.

    Yesterday was one of those days, well one of a few really, but yesterday topped them all. Nothing very dramatic really, it just seemed it yesterday.

    Last week we bought a gas bbq, not a big all singing all dancing one, just a small one big enough for the 3 of us. Nothing could be easier to set up, hubby did all no problem. So far so good until we came to buy the gas yesterday to use it. Instructions in very bold writing use Propane gas only NOT PATIO...

    Operation Over

    I'm back home after the operation and recovering OK.  4 and bit hours in theatre and a 2kg tumor has left me somewhat sore.  Can only just cope with sitting in front of the computer.

    Just wish I could actually sleep more than an hour at a time and not be overtaken by a 120 year old granny with a zimmer frame.

    Drink to Our Hero

     Jonathan died this morning at 10.30 am.  

    Because he never thought he was going to die - or not for another thirty years, as he frequently pointed out  - we never discussed funerals.  He did say, however, that he wished he had thought of Picasso's last words first which reputedly went something like this:  'Drink for me friends, for I will drink no more.'  

    So, raise a glass to Our Hero, who really was the perfect, gentle knight and loved by all.

    To All my Mac Friends

    Hiya its now been 4 months since Bert died and I thought you would like to know that I am beginning to pick myself up and start to get on with my life. I have just returned from 3 weeks in Canada with my step sister and it done me the world of good. I still miss Bert every day and everywhere I go something reminds me of him,but I can honestly say that I am glad that he is no longer suffering as you well know he fought a really hard battle and never really had any chance of surviving but...

    Part 2 of frustrating days....

    Or should I say a frustrating week -

    Today I got up to find that the food in the freezer was half de-frosted - probably because the plug was hanging half out of the socket because I must have caught it with the ironing board yesterday!

    Then I turned on my mobile to receive a message from my mum that my 21yr old niece had been rushed into hospital last night with suspected appendicitis. My niece is graduating from York University next week & is supposed to be going on holiday to Turkey with her...
