Boy oh boy has the last couple of days flown in our household
ￂﾠ Monday Gary drove down to see his mam before her forthcoming operation today
ￂﾠ So we are on tender hooks now, we have no idea what time her surgery is and whether they will manage to remove all that nasty cancer sitting inside her
ￂﾠ The good thing is she is a very fit lady, a golfer who never misses her games and some one that likes to walk for miles
ￂﾠ Apart from having this condition she isn't at all under the weather, even the chemotherapy didn't put her off her game over the last 10ￂﾠweeks
ￂﾠ I am sure you will all be sending a healing vibe out to her on my behalf
ￂﾠ On a thought that Mavis reminded me, asbestos has been linked to ovarian cancer
ￂﾠ Just shortly after Gary was born his mother had a problem with one ovary and had it removed, I just wonder if it has something to do with asbestos, after all his dad made snowballs with the stuff in the factory he worked in at Hull
ￂﾠ I did mention this to Gary but he doesn't want to go there, I can understand this but still it should be pursued, maybe I will try later when her treatment is complete
ￂﾠ Not everyone wants to think about asbestos or what it can do
ￂﾠ Plus Gary has been through the mill with me over these last 13 or more years
ￂﾠ Monday did fly, Liz arrived and we nattered for quite a while, in fact we didn't do any work together but admired the wonderful work of the back cover Lauren finally sent
ￂﾠ It is the book in one drawing!ￂﾠ My District Nurse arrived, the only man of the team
ￂﾠ He saw such a difference in me since, I haven't seen him for some 3 weeks or more
ￂﾠ That is always pleasing when someone notices how well you have recovered from when you thought you were on your way out, and didn't I!ￂﾠ I found out that when he was a young boy of 11 he fought non hodgkin's lymphoma stage 4, he was going to write a small booklet for Macmillan about it for other children but never completed it
ￂﾠￂﾠￂﾠA little encouragement and maybe it will get done, I hope so
ￂﾠ After all, he is a fit young husband with a child, something that seemed anￂﾠimpossible dream when he was young
ￂﾠ He had also been away because his son had Chicken Pox and poor guy is a carrier
ￂﾠ That is one thing I don't want back, after chemo in 04/05 I was struck down by Chicken Pox, it was awful
ￂﾠ I contracted in I think in 06 and I have never felt, ok I have but at the time, so awful!ￂﾠ I certainly would not want it back again
ￂﾠ I even got the tablets the second day but to no avail
ￂﾠ I did settle down to work, although I now trulyￂﾠhate Microsoft
ￂﾠ I have worked mainly on the office computer so I copied my manuscript down to a temp drive and worked on the laptop, different word, I didn't worry because I kept the word format as 2003, but no, it changed the whole document!ￂﾠ I found my typing errors to where I have got to again and have reloaded back onto the main computer
ￂﾠ Now I have to reformat the whole book again
ￂﾠ Annoying, because of speech marks and indents etc!ￂﾠ Why do I do these things
ￂﾠ Maybe I should start watching YouTube to see what thee stupid styling theme's really do mean! ￂﾠ Gary was home before I seemed to have turned around, although I was pleased he hadn't driven up the A1M in the dark, I hate that stretch of road with a passion
ￂﾠ When I drove it a lot by the time I reached Scotch Corner my eyes would think 'Yes nearly home I'll be able to shut them soon!' funny how a stretch of road can suddenly make you tired
ￂﾠ My chemo is finally scheduled for tomorrow, but my cold seems to have come back this morning
ￂﾠ The steroids are making me eat constantly but am afraid of the junk I am constantly putting into my mouth, it's crisps - as I'm craving salt, then some M
