Monday 16th June

Think I'll just state the facts again, I've got a lot of thinking to do over the next few days, and a whole list of questions I need answers to myself, let alone giving you lot any information!

I had the phone call today from the Marsden, my consultant had managed to contact her colleague and they feel between them they can go ahead with the operation. This, as far as i am concerned is good news.

My pre assessment date is on 1st July, that will probably mean a whole day having tests, possibly scans etc.

The operation itself will be on the 14th July, I will probably have to go over the night before, I think the average stay is about a week.

These dates mean that we can indeed go to Wimbledon, (yay) but, and it is a big but, we won't be able to make our friends wedding in Birmingham on the 19th July. (Flybe happy to keep our pre paid flights money of course.... ) Gutted. We've just seen her as she flew over this weekend and discussed wedding dresses, and flowers and party music etc etc

We'd been out in our new Hornet Wolseley.....

Ok, so it was a fathers day treat from the kids....


This also throws the next wedding in Cornwall into doubt, i just dont know how i'll be, not fit enough to make a long boat journey, certainly not worth taking the dog as won't be much walking, cant describe how miserable that makes me feel. I was really, really excited about the whole trip, and now it won't be the holiday/wedding plan that I had hoped for, but, (again) although we have cancelled the boat, I am still hoping that we could fly and hire a car and drive down for the weekend at least. SC/EC, if you read this I will try very very hard to make this wedding.
