Friday

hi folks

Today we have been up to the hospital for blood tests in readiness for chemo next week.

I've had quite a busy week, what with several visitors, keeping up with daily doses of America's Next Top Model (series 2) and the new one .. plus collecting wee for 24 hours - which adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to a lady's day ...

In point of fact - I have been a bit "blue" today .. no actual "thoughts" just ...... it has felt like there is a bubble of tears not very far from the surface all the time ... tho I keep them at bay with judicious application of mascara .. don't want a streaky face!

I think this (the moodiness, not the mascara) is making me a hard person to be with today -- I think I am being a bit snappy and hyper-sensitive - that would pretty much sum it up, really ...

I'm going to go and look after a little job Auty B set me and see if that takes my mind off feeling sorry for myself

You are fully allowed to feel sorry for yourself. I hope you feel in better spirits as soon as is humanely possible.

Add hormones to your imminent treatment and I'm amazed that you are able to keep the tears at bay with mascarra - it's never worked for me and I'm your sister

Susan im sorry you are feeling a bit under the weather but when you have had so much to cope with its not surprising you feel glum.
Let me tell you whats just happened to me, I went to tell my 96 year old neighbour I was coming to see you, I knocked the door and he came smiling at me I was busy waving to him, the next thing he went to open the door and triped and the glass broke andcut his head and I was stood there holding his head and,
trying to suport him from on his step.I managed to get him to open the door and I sat him down and rang 999 then I rang his niece to come over. He wouldnt let me put a towel round his bleeding head like the 999 people told me to do. Nancy arrived almost with the paramedics who delt with him he woulnt go to the hospital, I had cut my fingers so they plastered them up to.
Dad came over and was able to help Cliff Nancys husband to knock out the loose glass and board up the big gap.
I was shaking like a leaf Ive never been so scared in my life.
We are both OK thats Mervyn and me I think Nancy is still over there.
We took a ride down to Weymouth on the bus this morning it was nice and sunny quite dismal here when we got back.
Hope you soon feel better Sue and dont worry about crying its good to cry it relieves tension,lots of happy love from L M xxxxxxxxx

Susan,

Collecting wee for 24 hours? Well done. I was a Care Assistant for 12 years and never managed more than 12 hours at a time.

You really are unbeatable.

Mark you can wee as many times as you like - you just save it in a pot!!! Poor Joe just had a near miss in the 'little boy' area as Toby (for reasons best known to himself) shot him with a cork. Needless to say the frozen peas made their weekly escape from the freezer to save the day. Said frozen peas were used last week to reduce the swelling when Joe headbutted the stone goblin outside the front door. Every time we eat frozen peas it's hard not to recall all the near misses that they have been used for. Roll on Monday and return to school.

Yes, see you soon. I'm off all day every Thursday, so perhaps something then?
