Monday 15^th October

I promised myself an early night tonight, so shortish blog, and I have decided that I will not write again this week until Friday night, after the next blood test!! 

I just went for a short dog walk this morning, partly because I was late and partly because I had to get to aqua aerobics at 10am! It was nice to be outside swimming and to see a bit of sunshine!

I drank as much water as I could before the CT scan at 3.15pm, met my friend SW in town, and she accompanied me to the hospital. Apparently you can have negative or positive scans; fortunately (!) mine was negative which requires the injection with ‘dye’, whereas other poor souls have to sit in the changing room drinking about a litre of disgusting yellow liquid. 

I knew SC was also having a scan (MRI) and so wasn’t surprised when we bumped into each other in the cubicles- a chance for a photo opportunity wearing our rather fetching gowns, much to the bemusement of all the fellow ’patients’!! 

I felt quite well enough to go to badminton this evening, and pleased I did, I had some cracking games with long rallies, great fun!! (I couldn’t tell you the scores as I suffer from ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder, one of the side effects can cause you to leave your shopping in a Costa Coffee shop and not realise until you get back to the car, whereupon you have to retrace your steps through the whole of St Helier until you locate it again)

I am still writing a blog for the hospital www.fojo , but that’s really just every couple of weeks, and www.macmillanjersey.com have lots of information as do www.ovacome.com a site just for sufferers of Ovarian Cancer.

“ Life is a game, Badminton is serious”!!

NEXT INSTALLMENT ......FRIDAY NIGHT !!!
