After my last post on Wednesday, I promptly came down with a mild cold, probably just as a reaction to relaxing after what has been an interesting ta few months time.
I was left to my own devices on Thursday to give me some chill time and so my thanks to the rest of the group for giving me the space and for contributing much more than I did over the week
To be honest I didn't do much on holiday, but my energy levels weren't the best. We certainly all ate a lot, but that is what holidays are partly for. I drank a few beers with my meals and that felt good too. Everyone had a good time and the kids all got along too (as they always do).
What was less helpful and a bit more damaging from a psychological perspective was an increased difficultly in eating. I am looking forward to tomorrow's meeting to discuss my overall progress and get things in perspective.
The Isle of Wight was a delight and the visit was helped by the good weather.
Spiritually, the holiday served as a clear break from chemotherapy as the approach to surgery gains momentum and, whilst I am yet to be notified of a date for surgery, I have a pre-operation assessment scheduled for 6th July.
As the boxing referee Mills Lane used to say - "Let's get it on"
Great holiday mate,it was nice to chill with you and the family.Hows the smell of dogfood today.
