Heavy Stuff

We saw the solicitors today to set up new wills and a Power of Attorney. The conversation with her brought it all home, bit depressing really but we need to get the practicalities sorted. Actually I think with my financial background I knew more about it than she did!

I met with my mate Sue from Cliff College, had a coffee and a 90 minute chat, she's not well too, so she understands. We drank coffee, ate cake (slowly in my case) and put the world to rights. Great therapy - thanks Sue! Followed this by a sharp hair-cut just in case it starts to fall out.

Tonight is XLR8 the church youth group I help lead - these are great kids. They are praying for me and really keen to know what's happening. We've been looking at pacifism and war and tonight we look at what the Bible says about 'just war'.

Teresa has had some screening tests just to make sure she's OK. Unfortunately the GP has asked to see her regarding the blood test.It sounds like she's anemic. She was a bit freaked by this. The GP agreed to see her at 9.10 tomorrow morning. Doesn't sound too serious.

So I have to report to Bedford Primrose Unit at 9.00 tomorrow for a pre-chemo blood test. I'll let you know how it goes... 'yo heave ho ', 'Hughie Green' etc.....

You have been so courageous.
It is natural for you to be a bit freaked out by some of it, especially the other chemo stuff.We will all pray HARDER and LOUDER .
Love to Teresa, we will be praying for her visit tomorrow too.
Hey, we are all in this together,cos we are all one family.
Anyway, I think you would look cute in a toupe!!!!!!!!! However I shall pray that you will keep your own lovely auburn locks (biased).
Love to you all,
Sian and Co. x x
