3 Too Many

Another broken rest which is not good for long weeks with lots of appointments & info to absorb   Up early Gym is calling – so into it & a bit of exercise – good kickstart to the day. And worked too – feel better.  Pain Killers didn’t even Knock me over last night – ggrrr!

Dad is home from sea today so is coming over to catch up & to do the work run for me.  Had a big talk about lots of things – so the early start was fine – them off to Ford to book WOF look at a nice FG Falcon GT 355KW – cause you can’t have enough power! Not overly keen on it though as I won’t be driving it! Very nice but will think it over for Dad

Really quick ride then to Cafe Raeward for our IT Friday morning brekky session  Dad gets to meet all my fellow inmates, and enjoy a coffee & I’m impressed with the good behaviour – his that is before the roar of a real V8 – Ford that is of course – crackles into the distance & we are left to our food.

Before todays appointments we have lunch with Karl & Nevil at The BoatShed Cafe.  Very good to catch up with both, though wish circumstances were different.

Todays appointments are with the Radiation Specialists to get the briefing on treatment & the mask needed for locking my head in place in the microwave – sorry Radiation oven. I’ll try to load a gallery of pics later tonight.  All went really well though – dozed off while they made it then scanned me – but then again I fall asleep in an MRI machine which is very noisy. Hope they remember to set the timer when I’m in it else I’ll be a well cooked turkey

Our next meeting then with a Social Worker, (sorry I may have said previously that it was the Chemo team – I’ve got a reason to be forgetful sometimes),wanting to be sure that we’re dealing with this all the best we can – it was very helpful – for assuring that we are ding well with dealing with all of this – as there is so much you get hit with & learn in  a very short time, all the while knowing that at the end of the day the result is the same – which does play on you.  Basically got the tick of approval.

Next off to pickup Jacob – he’s been away on a week-long boys camp at Glentui.  Awesome to see the lad again – armed with a few more wise cracks & slightly cruder jokes (13-year-old ones thankfully).  And he’s had the most wonderful time!  Which is what you to hear.

Quiet night realising just how much rubbish is on TV.

Off to bed as  soon as I have these pics up online as busy day with Jacob first footy game then Mum & Aunty from Kati Kati coming over then off to the Halswell pinkies footy game against Nomads. Best of luck too to the boys from Thistle.  And all the Halswell teams this weekend.

Kia Kaha.
