Good Days 'n' Bad Days


















Well some days the food goes down and stays down. Other days it goes down and comes back to say hello which is VERY frustrating. I have barfed whilst driving, in just about every public loo in Bedford and even in the street (how scuzzy!) in Pont Aven, Brittany. The trouble is I get so little warning. Suddenly I'm hot and then woops seconds later the multi coloured rainbow appears. I'm on a drug called Domperidone which helps a little bit and (thankfully) my weight is at a steady 10.12 which is quite a new experience for a man who has been 12.5 (& + post Christmas, holidays etc.) all his adult life. I must confess to finding the sickness very depressing. The new slim fit 30'' waist suit does look kinda cool though - every cloud.........

I meet with my oncologist tomorrow (Friday) and he will hopefully give me the all clear to start chemo on Monday. That is dependant though on weight, blood counts and me wanting to go ahead. I'll let you know on all three counts.

Thanks for reading - you got nothing better to do my wonderful friends? I'm so glad you haven't or at least if you have that you still make time for me. Bless you.

Florence and I busy buying all the kit we need for the new narrow boat. I've posted some pics above. The dining room here has been turned into a riparian storage depot. Life jackets, crockery and lots of gin. Perfect.

Check in tomorrow for the latest.

Love
