Whilst I am continuing my researching into clinical trials (with the help of my GP and the family Professor), I have also been closing the deal on essential gadgets.
I am hoping to continue working at some level during chemotherapy and during the recuperation process. I am assuming that I will not know whether this is feasible until I get there but I felt that the purchase of a laptop was essential. If I work I will need to do so in peace so it will be from my office (the bedroom) and a desktop would be out of place there.
The television debate has also been ended with the purchase of a 32" Sony to be mounted on the bedroom wall. Big enough for the room and a decent TV with all the inputs (including for a laptop). More importantly big enough to watch the World Cup on (especially with the addition of a cantilever arm to ensure desirable positioning). Daytime TV is not an interest but there are plenty of decent box sets around.
Neither purchase may seem prudent but there is a gruelling period to get through and they will keep me connected, whilst their siting will allow me to roll over and rest whenever I need to.
With the bedroom close to completion there are no more major purchases to be made. When facing a long period of illness it is important to be prudent and "Prudence" is now knocking at the door.
