Monday 26th March
Half way through the dreaded injections……sure it’s actually
worse for the hubby to administer than it is for me to bite my lip and take it,
thank goodness he can , it would be a real inconvenience for someone to come
out every day and have to do them.
Had 3 lovely friends visit this morning, good old chin wag
and a laugh, particularly when a lady visitor with a large bag gets shown into
the house by hubby, not entirely sure what she’s on about, but thinking it may
be ‘medical’ as she asked for me by name. To find out she sold me some Aloe
Vera products 2 years ago and wondered if I wanted some more? “And here is the
price list”, I’ve never seen anyone ushered out of the kitchen so quickly; don’t
think her feet touched the ground!!
Went out with son no 1, (the one who writes amusing blogs)
for a few hours at lunchtime, and then transferred to son no 2 for another trip
later on in the day, this one via a swimming pool (son and daughter, not
unfortunately for me :-( )
and a quick trip to B&Q for essential supplies that all men need.
Somehow managed to find another food angel during the
afternoon that passed over a scrummy looking cottage pie, and a tray full of flapjacks!
I am feeling very guilty now as don’t seem to be ill enough to warrant all
these people cooking meals for the family. However it is very much appreciated.
I have been given a web site of other ovarian cancer
sufferers in the UK, (from Macmillan) it’s
a bit like a ‘blog’ site but so nice to hear peoples news and views, as well as
useful tips to cope with chemo and it’s side effects. Its called ovacome which I think says it all.
A lovely homemade lasagna (thanks) and a fruit pie (thanks)!!,
rounded off the day nicely.
You are packing more and more into your days :))))
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Great you've got the Ovacome blog. Unless you've been through something like this, you can't really understand what it's like. Can imagine but not really understand. Bet you'll find some really good tips on it. Love reading your blog about your days with your family and friends. Ha, poor Aloe Vera lady!!xxxx
hi Jill, I wish I were there to make you a lovely dinner my dear, but alas I am stuck here in Houston TExas. I'm so dismayed that the diagnosis is cancer, how unbelievable. How brave you are. Thank goodness you are fit and strong and will fight this. THats what they said to my dad, hes a big healthy fit guy, a good starting point to be in if he is going to beat it. Which I believe he will, as shall you.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you.
love Sharron xx
