Day two of radio therapy
Radio therapy done, 2nd dose, all good not too much of a reaction, remembered to say thanks to the machine and of course to all the staff operating it. Only about 7 mins of radiation but thanks all the same for this life giving machine, I would be in awful trouble without it.💯
Lots of multi-coloured tablets helping the journey along, yellow red white and even a stripey one made an appearance 💊
Zomorph still giving me super powers. Still waiting for the morning where I wake up on the roof. 😀
Nurse P accompanied me to the hospital, she said she’s known as the matron, don’t believe that for one moment, It soon turned out that we both have a love for Italy.
I was a holiday rep in Sorrento for 4 summers with my now wife, we went back and got married there a few years later. seems like a really distant memory right now. But memories like that are good because at any point I chose I can go and pay a visit to Sorrento in my mind, which I’ve done many times when things just aren’t great.
I think I spent a bit of time walking around the old town whilst I was in the MRI Machine a few weeks ago. The mind if you ask it will take you absolutely anywhere you would like to be, as long as you hold a memory. It takes just one thought to start that journey and every single one of us can do it.💭
I digressed a bit there as is often my way but I can’t go with out saying thanks Nurse P for the lovely conversation, you are really wonderful and looked after me today , another NHS angel.❤️
Later that afternoon the tiredness kicked in and I think I dropped of mid Patch Adams, will watch the rest later its looking to be a truly enlightening movie RIP Robin you were amazing and left far too early off this planet.im watching a diet of inspiring movies, that’s the plan, fill myself full of inspiration, it’s another weapon.⚔️
The radio therapy causes me to just fall asleep without realising it so I lose the odd hour here and there. It can be quite funny, I know I’ve been in the middle of doing something and suddenly realised I’ve lost an hour or so, my wife says I was like it before all this stuff occured.😃
I promised to keep it positive on here, unfortunately a patient passed away he was having a terrible time of it on Sat night, I hope now he’s out of pain and in a peaceful place. RIP🙏
I had a little chat with one of the nurses in the morning she was really affected by this, I hope our little chat eased her troubled mind a bit, that’s all you can do for sometimes is take some time to listen, I don’t know how they do it.💙 (PS she just fetched me a cup cake to say thanks for the chat) my god it’s the very very least I could do. 💙
My sister came up, love you Kim and what a deep and loving conversation we had❤️
Spoke to two great blue light ambulance instructor colleagues on the phone thanks Darrin Price and Aurfan Javid you know it means such a lot if you ever read this. 🚑 Missing my amazing job as an ambulance trainer and keeping the belief I will be able to get back out there and do the job I truly love once I’ve sorted this cancer problem out.
And once again my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have uplifted me with your messages, on my Facebook group and my phone I will reply to all in between naps❤️
Going to see if I can manage the rest of Patch Adams before I nod off.
Again I’m living each moment in a feeling of positivity, kindness and gratitude and that’s where I want to be.🙏
Bless you all…
