It seems I'm a patient now!

Hi moomy and Northener,

Thankyou both for your kind comments- they are appreciated. It would seem that subconciously I needed a bit of reassurance, thank you both for providing it ! It is a lot of extra organisation for the hospitals but they are coping well under extreme circumstaces.

Enjoy your visitors moomy, fingers crossed for you that the weather co-operates and all goes well.

Love and hugs , Kwissy

One of the presents hubs got for Father's Day was Chernobyl. We remember it of course, I was very aware of the danger to our kids, and actually remember asking daughter's consultant whether it might have had any bearing on her diagnosis of lymphoma. Of course he didn't know. But I am now wondering if the steady occurrence of all cancers may be a result (perhaps including my own?) ? Who knows. 

The series was commissioned by Sky, but available on Amazon Prime and DVD which is what we were given. It is, I have to say, incredibly well done and set, in spite of being scarily true, and will surely be up for awards. 

It was lovely seeing son and son in law, plus their dog too of course, for a socially distanced visit for Father's Day. Dog was very funny, bless him, the wooden garden bench, sat between his Daddies, was obviously not quite right, and I eventually remembered he'd had a seat pad on there before, so once one was placed there he snuggled up happily! He likes his creature comforts! And then when they were ready to go, dog sneaked back in, as if they were delivering him to stay while they went away (on a holiday where they couldn't take him!) so it took a bit of persuasion to get him into the car! 

Son had ordered (as a surprise) a pudding and cream from our local Co-op to be delivered by 'Starship' (you may need to google this!) as they now, at last, deliver here. It's been around in nearby Milton Keynes for a while, the biggest use of robot deliveries in the world, it seems! VERY funny! 

Sending all of you lovely people love and hugs xxx

Son just emailed a video of their dog ‘yapping’ quietly in a dream, said he howled and barked a bit louder too. I replied saying he was probably telling us off for not producing the comfy seat pad earlier! And also maybe chasing a squirrel? 

bless him

Hi Kwissy

just a hospital update . I've been for treatment today ( every three weeks ) First time since new guideline for masks to be worn by NHS staff and visitors at all times in hospital . Felt so much better not to bump into nurse or cleaner with no mask .  I wore my homemade face covering mask and wasn't required to change to medical mask ..

Must admit it's a very well organised area for treatment every time I've been since beginning of March . There is nobody waiting,  previous injection patient already left . Usually one patient receiving chemo at other end of unit . 

So no problems except bloody sore thigh lol

That sounds very well managed, Northerner. 

we just binge-watched Chernobyl in 2 evenings. I knew there was stuff hushed up , never knew quite how much. I remember the orange cloud over here, and being worried. I even put iodine mixed into minced beef meals for a few days till the family said it was too horrid! I refused to let the kids go out to play for a day or two as well. Wow, what a series! Hopefully enough of the truth is now known.

It Does make you wonder though moomy a different sort of disaster but what will be said in years to come about covid . 

Yes I have to say the whole of the last year has been managed very well by my team including a seamless continuation of treatment despite covid.

I can honestly say not one thing to complain about well maybe the vampires ‍♀️ in phlebotomy lol

The tree is down to just the trunk! Way-hay! But there is an awful lot of clipping up to do, there’s a mass of branches on the lawn!

but all the dangerous stuff has been safely done apart from my one forearm gouge which is still being dressed every 3 days but is doing very well!

Don’t know what we’d have done without a long handled saw, ladders, step stool, rope and long reacher, loppers and of course my new secateurs, all of them came in so useful!

moomy, I get tired just reading about all your activity!
