Wednesday 5 December Ramble
December 5, 2012 — Headless“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” – Albert Einstein
Hope all woke wanting to get into getting this day done and dusted. I was – yeah right, from the confines of a bed in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (don’t stress it’s nothing different, just a place they could get a bed for me last night as Oncology and Neurology wards were full – which is sad in itself). Not going to cover the usual stuff as it is irrelevant.
So this is how it goes. I’ll keep it short and simple about yesterday. I’ve got cancer, owe hang on wait you know that already. Brain cancer to be certain, and the brain controls all, simple as that! Now we know why I’m here and blogging it, let’s go…..
I am still missing several hours of yesterday (Tuesday) which is, excuse the pun, doing my head in. They think I have had some form of seizure (not the arms flaying sort) more the drop to sleep type. I remember telling Sue when downstairs I felt wobbly and I only now remember in snippets sort of walking to the ambulance. Sue found me out cold upstairs on the floor between the bed and dresser about 10-15 mins later on. As she was in the room below and never heard a thump as such and no body marks they don’t believe I’ve hit my head going down or dropped you never know it might have fixed some things
The reality is things like this were going to happen. Just never knew how it would manifest itself. Well we do now. Nothing else to report really. Another day in hospital is just that. Until I know more, I have nothing else to say – except shit and bloody hell it is HOT!!!
So here I am vegging out in a hospital bed with a sore head. Getting fed more drugs than I care to really want, thumping headache still and waiting on meds to work. I just want to go home! But for all I hate about hospitals can’t fault them here. Everyone is fantastic in all the wards I’ve been on -in 27 now (Oncology) Please don’t be worried about me – I’m fine and on the mend. Also great isn’t it – first ever ride in an ambulance and don’t remember it.
Unfortunately very brief today as I’m having trouble concentrating to write in a logical sense – apologies for that.
Will update if/when,I/we know more.
Hope all have had a fantastic day. One last thing – thanks for all the help and support and messages, they’re keeping me nicely busy
Kia Kaha.

Cheers Dutch. Finally got released on Thursday lunchtime. Was more for observation really and to make sure the new drugs had taken properly.
Hope you and the family are all well.
Take care.
