Obsessed with food?
I ask you - is this a "fair" cancer for someone who loves food as much as I do? *tsk*
Tomorrow is "fast and purge" day in advance of the operation, and then after the op they let me have a few mls of water each hour until they are think the bit of bowel I've got left is funtioning back to working OK ... and then it will be trial and error to see how I cope with different foods .. there is a strong opinion that I should eventually be able to eat pretty much as before so long as I don't eat too much fibre, like fruit skins. Stoma-patients' fave seems to be MASH! yippee!
Planning
We have to be at the hospital for 7.30 a.m. on Monday and I'll be going to theatre at about 9.30.
B's mum coming up to be here with her for a few days, she should get here during the morning on Monday.
B has started to pencil in a few visitors, James on Monday, Andy on Tuesday, Mand on Wednesday, Mark on Friday. If you want to see me please check with B first - ideally by text to her mobile -- let us know if you need her mobile number.
Bright Side
My brother, Mark, sent me a lovely email today and this bit in it really made me smile:
- On the bright side, at least you will not be losing anything you want to keep, except a section of bowel. You will still be able to sing along to your fave Nina Simone track without having to skip a line.

hi y'all - it's bloody annoying that the first bit of sunshine this year falls on the day I can't leave the house .. hey ho
I'm feeling pretty pole-axed by the picolax today ... but otherwise OK
@ ali - I did that pic by using a photo of me and colouring it in using adobe photoshop elements, to be honest I'm dead slow at things like that, but find it strangely satisfying! xxx
Hi Suze
Good luck for tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you while I'm at the Away Day!
Love Matt xx
