My last post was about fear, primarily because it is a topic that raises it head as a question when I talk with people.
In truth I am probably nore relaxed now than I have been at any part of the process. No-one in their right mind would look forward to a heavy duty operation on physical level but it means that we remove all the significant bits of the cancer and then let the chemotherapy do the rest.
The World Cup is a great distraction and Sunday will be busy as not only are England playing but Kitten, Boogle, Sushi, Saucy Sue and Banana are participating in the Cancer Research "Race for Life". I will be going to wait at the finish line to congratulate them when they complete the course but will obviously have one eye on the clock for the beginning of the match! They have collected a tidy sum in sponsorship.
This morning I had a call from the Marsden to ask me to attend the surgeon's clinic this afternoon at 4pm and also a letter regarding admission for surgery. It seems that the admission will be on Monday 12th rather than Tuesday 13th (as I was advised verbally).
I had another visit (following on from the Friday before my holiday) to the osteopath this morning to try and sort out my "achilles" problem, which is actually a calf strain, so at least I am not hobbling about so much. The mad Canadian continues to pay dividends.
With the calf problem I have relinquished the idea of trying to get fit before the operation and prefer to just relax and stop pushing. When I get out of theatre I will be at "Ground Zero", so it will be good to get there from a lower level.
Things are moving quickly even if I am not.
