Evening update (19/08)

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Well, the set-up session went well, I now have two new tattoos on my chest courtesy of SUHT (who can say that!) - I need them so they can line up the radiotherapy machine every time. They are just a couple of dots, but they ARE permanent.
The radiotherapy session went well and I (touch wood) don’t feel too bad as yet, early hours/days though so I will have to make sure I take it as easy as possible just in case :)
I’m in for four more, they don’t do radiotherapy over the weekend so I will be probably having my last session next Monday and coming home Tuesday.. another WEEK in hospital! Shocking!

Pretty tired right now so I am going to stick a Rambo dvd on the laptop and just veg, I think..

Today’s morning update (19/08)

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Dr Hamilton has just come round and had a chat about the next step(s) forward, seems I’m to stay in and have five doses of radiotherapy on a strip of my spine from the bottom to around halfway up (T11 I believe). That should either start today or tomorrow, I’m not really looking forward to staying in at least another five days but hey, gotta get fixed and out of here asap :) Will update later if/when I get some news..

I love my wedding ring..

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Just sat in hospital, minding my own business when I happened to catch sight of my wedding ring and I had a really proud, bursting feeling in my chest.. yeah it’s a lovely looking ring but it’s not just that- it is what it symbolises that makes the difference.
People said before we were married that “it’s just a piece of paper, nothing has to change” but IMHO it has and everything feels different, a little tighter all over perhaps.
I love my wife, and I love to tell people ” this is my wife, Hayley”.

Enough of the mushy stuff, I’m going to stick some Metal on my headphones at a loud volume and do some surfing!
