Well, it’s been a little bit of a strange day today - I woke up a 6.30am or so for observations etc and couldn’t get back to sleep.Time for a wash/change and a bed making session and then I had breakfast before going back to sleep for a bit before my mid-morning Radiotherapy dose.. then back for lunch lunch - yes I lead an interesting life at the moment!

Then I had another little nap and H/Sam/Chris/Lorrie/Jen came for a visit which was really good - we grabbed a wheelchair and managed to get away from the ward for an hour or so and go get a tea and some fresh air. Man it was good to see Sam again, I hadn’t seen him since last Thursday when we quickly dropped him with Jen before we had to bolt for the train. He wasn’t too fazed by it all, which is obviously a good thing but it means he is getting used to all this now which just isn’t right for a kid of his age:( We pottered around for a while then they all left, and then Mum and Gary turned up for an hour or so, so I took the opportunity to get away from the ward for another hour and get a tea with them - it is really nice to get out for a bit!

They left around 7pm or so as I was getting pretty tired so now I’m fed, watered and back on my bed listening to the new “Black Stone Cherry” album and updating this blog.
H brought down the last two series of Red Dwarf for me to watch on dvd so that should keep me going and keep my spirits up a little and I still have most of the Rambo boxed set to watch when I can dedicate some time/concentration to it!

All in all, not doing too bad - a bit tired, sickie and bored but that’s to be expected and it will get worse before it gets better apparently. A small price to pay for an extension on my life - I have no wish to shuffle off this mortal coil just yet, too many things to do and people to see

I keep thinking about my cousin Nicky in Oz, haven’t spoken to any of that side of the family in years and apparently she’s really down with the dreaded C so I want to get in contact and just say “Hi”.. It just feels a bit of a crap reason to initiate the contact, but on the other hand maybe it’s the perfect reason?
