Just because you’ve got cancer doesn’t make me competent! – Nick Palmer

May 21st

Before I start I just wanted to let you all know, (if you did not know already,) that somewhere at the bottom right of this blog is a follow button you can press, put in your email address and it will automatically notify you if and when I write something. Just a thought!

Arrrrrr! So only two days to go.  It seems to have moved so fast that I haven’t really had time to think. Two more sleeps as the kids used to say.  The strange thing is that I feel so well and that in a matter of days I am going to be in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, have drains coming out of parts of my body you wouldn’t expect to (always thought they were just to move water from a to b),  be on a lot of pain killers (wayhay) and I think generally feeling shit.  The things a girl has to do to get some attention around here.  The fact I feel so well makes it difficult to get my head around what is going on I think.  I think out of everyone who knows I am the calmest.

I am going ahead with life as normal; taught my Stitch and Bitch class this morning, doing laundry while the sun shines, food shopping so there is stuff for them to look at in the fridge, scratch their heads…close the door then order a take away. I’ll bake a cake for my dog walking friends for tomorrow’s 9 am coffee at Kenwood (the last dog walk and coffee for a while) and go crazy on Amazon getting stuff for Noah’s trip in July to Namibia.  Hair cut tomorrow,  pack, cook dinner and then sleep or not……………..

While I am here and remember (a lot is slipping from my mind at the moment, I put that down to being without my friend HRT)  I would like to THANK everyone for their  kind messages, offers of help, cards and calls.  I really do appreciate them all and if I don’t manage to reply to some of you I am sorry, there just does not seem to be enough hours in the day.

For now I’ll be off to put together the new badminton net that has just arrived…….
