Hi Everyone
I'm well and truly in the rucksack, warm and comfy on dad's back. If you've not read the comments posted on yesterday's blog you'll need to for this to make any sense. It's great when God confirms what He wants to say to you twice on one evening through two different people who don't know each other and haven't talked about it!
I went this morning to the Macmillan Primrose unit to have my PIC line re-dressed. They draw blood through it then flush it through with saline and replace all the tapes and clips that hold it in place. The chemo nurses at Primrose have asked me to take Teresa next Friday to be trained how to do this for me. My fantastic Tez really will be 'Nurse Nightingale'! Can't tell you how brave Teresa is being. I must be the most blessed man in the world. She's working so hard, keeping Kip Mc Grath afloat, running the home, looking after me and comforting those who are upset or worried about me. She's amazing. WOW! More than anything in the world I need to make our 25th wedding anniversary in three years - I promised a cruise years ago and Teresa intends to cash in the chips! Three years would be a complete miracle in itself so roll on 12th April 2011.
Managed to rattle off 1,000 words on my dissertation today, so I'm getting there slowly..... Should make the deadline. I'll be carrying on tomorrow
I know I mentioned this yesterday but it was great to see so many folk last week. It really lifts the my spirits - thanks for coming Joy & Julia, Mum & Dad, John & Amanda.
Health-wise feeling tired today, need to take it easier tonight. I'm looking forward to heading back to France for a few days with mum & dad next week to work on the cottage. Don't worry there's not too much to do; more of a 'jolly' really and a thank-you for mum & dad. There's nowhere that's better for my brain than that daft little cottage.
Chloe was away over the weekend at a party for her brainy Grandpa (80th) in Scotland, she got home last night and seemed to have a good time. James & Carys are doing well - Carys is still Rummykub obsessed - we had to play three games last night - still its good for her maths.
Hope you all had good a Monday, enjoy your evening.
Luv
Dave

Hi,
We played cards as usual with your Mum and Dad yesterday evening. They gave us your blog address - but they've been keeping us up to date with your progress anyway. They are very proud of your attitude and handling of all that is being thrown at you. They have every right to be so. You and your family are an inspiration to us all. You epitomise what family life is all about.
I must also say thank you for the kind offer to stay at your cottage in Britanny. I would like to accept with great pleasure.
This is another sign of your positive attitude; thinking of others all the time.
You are in our thoughts quite often.
John and Judy Kirk
