I'm 'meeting the team' at the Bath Clinic on Claverton Down on Monday and then starting the chemo next Wednesday, the 17th at 10.30am. The first session could last 6 hours!! TG for my kindle! And I'm hoping all of you lovely people will be sending strong healthy vibes and prayers. I really want this treatment to stun my tumours so I can enjoy a well period. I'm preparing my 'bucket list' and expect to have some time to achieve some of these things which include a goddaughter's wedding in Florence in the spring and a visit to southern Spain as we've never been to Seville or the Alhambra! Shocking!
We're having a quiet day today, enjoying a walk to the canal in the sun and some pottering in the garden. The last few days have been full of fun. Thursday we visited my sister Loretta and husband Graham down on the Devon/Dorset border, a gorgeous part of the country. We caught up with each other's news, had steak dinner in their local and inspected their garden plans and Graham's pride and joy, already erected, a wooden garden observatory, with a roll back roof. Geoff had his first first good look at Jupiter and the craters of the moon.
On Friday morning on the way home Geoff dropped me at our friend Pat's house where she gave me lunch and then drove me to the Wig Lady's place, just south of Swindon. We had loads of fun looking at catalogues, examining swatches of colour and trying on wigs. Lynda is such a kind, sensible lady with lots of useful advice. She has ordered me 5 different wigs to choose from. The things you learn: real hair wigs are heavier and of course have to be styled; artificial wigs just need to be washed and the style bounces back! But you must NEVER open a hot oven in a 'acrylic' wig...
Then home for the cream tea Pat had prepared and brought with her. Yum! I think she's in league with Geoff about feeding me up.
Simon and Ruth came down on Saturday and set to work to help with some heavy chores, like getting the remains of the old washing line out of the ground and setting up the new one. Geoff had hurt his neck trying the job on his own and is in quite a lot of pain, poor thing. Lots of useful jobs were covered by this healthy energetic pair and then in the evening they took us out to a Michelin star pub for dinner, really superb. We'll go back again I think to celebrate...
Sunday we succumbed to the local Garden Centre, enjoying its many delights including lunch. As I write, Geoff is out in his veg patch planting and I must go out and water.
