Look familiar

Showing off my legs

Going forward

The monotony of being a cancer patient, exactly that monotony, I miss the interaction of people and normal things, a game of cards, a wine, a gossip even, I dont know how long I am for this world but what I do know is my frineds and family matter to me and I would love to see them all little and often. 
 
David is attempting to maintain a normal working and family life but as you can all appreciate that is rather difficult, part of that though is our weekends are precious and we like to spend them being as normal a family as possible, a picnic in the park, a cheese board, reading the papers.  To this end it would be great to see friends and family during the week to break up my days and how I feel, for the last week I have been really sick, not just sick but that sick when you see that path ahead is not so long, this is a place that I wish none of you to ever have to be, it is lonely and scary and I am scared, scared from top to bottom and every fibre in between. I often struggle just to get up, to have the energy to do the simplest of things.
 
So please help me to endure the weeks and the ups and downs of how crap I feel, I may be here for a couple of months or a couple of years and that is the hardest part but what I need is you and little and often during the week to help me through.
 
In this case it is not about Eva, it is about coming to see, help and support me, I appreciate and know how difficult it can be during the week but if you are able to make it work then please do - and to make things a just a little more awkward I am pretty rubbish before 10am and out of it after 6pm

It will be one or the other

After a long few days we feel we are finally making progress and by the end of next week we should have a clearer idea of what has been the cause of Karen's latest stay in hospital.
They feel it could really be 1 of 2 things, either the cancer is fighting back or the dying cancer cells post chemo are causing it. Obviously we hope and pray it is the later.
Next week we will have a better picture, at least for now Karen has come home and we can mange it from there until next week, less time in hospital is great.

Becoming a porker

Weigh in, another couple of weeks and another few pounds, at weigh in yesterday Eva put on 1.3 lbs up from 6 to now a massive 7.3lbs..

I love my early feed

Warm and loving it

Who says the UK isn't warm, it is a balmy 25 degrees today and Eva and I have just been out to enjoy it, it is great to be able to leave her uncovered so she can feel the breeze and hear the birds, spoilt to say the least.

We went out to grab a few groceries and then sat in the park for a while to watch the world go by and contemplate life, Eva brings us so much joy as we all struggle with the downside when cancer takes a bite back, albeit temporarily.

Karen has slid a little further and we hope tomorrow when everyone is back on deck we can start reversing the downward spiral, with what is going on they won't even let her hold Eva so life is somewhat tough at the moment to say the least.
