Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

Hi

off to get appt on fri to board the hickman line and should be good to go after that.

I want at least a dusting on my scalp by the summer.

pink plastercast getting on my nerves and 4 more weeks still to go!!!

sleep fairy wishes to everyone. M

OOPS DOUBLE POST

Burgers! Was doing so well with the sleep fairy thing! I didn’t even have to use Jean’s codiene advice!!

All day I’ve had the sniffles on and off - nothing major but woke a couple of times tonight and been hot :frowning:

Nothing untoward but creeping up - mind you 2 clingy cats don’t help the situation either!

Question is when is a flush not a flush? I know when it’s above 37.5c!!

Hate times like this paranoia sets in!!

Annie, listen to Auntie Jane.

Check that temp every half an hour and if it goes up to 38 and hasn’t come down in an hour’s time, get thee to hospital.

Now be a good girl and do as you’re told.

There’s an ice cave down by the lagoon if you need it, with lots of cooling fans and a hunky barman serving frozen daiquiris…

Thanks Auntie Jane

It seems to be coming down again but the cats have left the bed … There may be a link!!

Will keep an eye on it but may investigate the ice cave …hmmm cocktails … Hmmm hunky barmen!!

Axx

Well woodies definitely on the correct trail for the Rads Rushes. I was given the light to enter the portals today and peep through the thick Bullrushes. I might come out dirty and with strange Tatoos so black clothes will be donned. Apart from Friday’s impending removal of the Hichman the thick glueish muds of the chemo marshes have at last left my shoes and I can almost run!!! Having said that running was not a popular occupation of mine at the best of times…but just watch me go on Friday at 8am when they try to catch me!!!
Soddit go fetch bringiton and we will be off on today’s adventure.
See you all in the JM later

Celebrations in the JM tonight so pleased things are moving on for you

Hope everything went OK today for Cackles I lit your candle for you and said a small mantra.

Going to give the tent a good clean out today but sleeping so well lately that it all has to collapse soon so need to be prepared.

Will pop into the JM tonight for a nice cold chardonnay.

make room for me! cold white wine sounds perfect… just finished 5 consecutive days in the land of W.O.R.K… and had today off…Soddit and I found all sorts of helpful fairies, who we’ve persuaded to come to the JM with us tonight… sleep… bringiton…keepstrong…positive thinking… laughinthefaceofadversity… and sleep’s friend, dozy…

see you later! Jane

Sat with a nice chardonnay by the lagoon outside my tent, sleep is feeling a bit elusive tonight, can’t seem to find the sleep fairy, will be going back to my bed shortly to try again.

goodnight everyone hoping I won’t be back too soon.

Had another good night after all last night but not been in a good day place today been wallowing in depression dell all day very tearful and emotional

Evening Woodies.
Poor Jean there is nothing worse than having Woeisme descend upon you out of the blue. Like any unwanted visitor he overstays his welcome some times - so just throw him out of your tent get the wine bottle and I will be over for a snifter. I have a Big big HUG for you.
Mr Hick has been thrown into the bin. What a brave Woodie I was , I didn’t need Bringiton and Positivethinking to sit on me or even Soddit to catch me and take me into the unknown. I had a lovely Clinical Nurse Specialist who wielded the lancet and before I knew what had happened I was back on the path to the Rads Rushes unscathed. As you said June there was nothing to it! Have you been in your tent alone for a few days? … Missed you in the JM this week.
The Woods are very quiet these days I wonder who is hiding in the shadows. Come and join us on our strange journey and we can help each other every step of the way.
Be of good faith

Oh Jean …I’m sending you a big (((hug)))!

I know what you mean but good days do come! Yesterday I was hateful, today I’m much better …, we’re on a roller coaster but hang on, we’ll get there xx

Axx

ps - shall we go down to the ice cave with the hunky barman??

I too have had woeisme following me around for a couple of days. I think it is all the cheerful Xmas stuff that is everywhere that has brought that gremlin out. I have taken myself off to my tent for an early night determined to put our Christmas tree up tomorrow.

AnnieK I have just seen you post… Meet you there - I will see if Jean , Joan, Alto and GIJane are about. I have a lemon drizzel cake my six year old Granddaughter made with me this afternoon. I did make sure she washed her hands!!
Soddit fetch them… Good boy.
Cackles

Cackles you’re on!!

Can I take a piece of lemon drizzle cake for the OH … He has a cake fetish & has a lot to put up with!!

Axx

Don’t forget me! I know I said I was having an early night but I could be tempted with cake

Supretrouper you will neve be forgotten … But you don’t need to be found… We know we can shout and you will bounce in with Buggerit!!! How are the rotten blues going… ? Grab a chair and we will all lend an ear…l promise.
Lots of Bg Hugs
Cackles

Oooh lemon drizzle cake! Is there any left or am I too late?

I need a bit of cheering up. Went to Sainsbury’s today and the girl on the till was chatting on about Christmas and she was lovely but all of a sudden I felt so weepy. Last Christmas I didn’t know whether I’d still be here this year and it all just came over me. Gave myself a good talking to and a slap with a soggy kipper but have since been very upset by the comments of someone on another forum re. the report about 40% increased cancer risk caused by lifestyle factors.

Basically he/she was saying that all cancer has been caused by the modern world (!) and those of us not living the perfect lifestyle only have ourselves to blame for getting cancer. I’ve been extremely reasonable and rational in my responses but they’re obviously not going to change their view. I really hope their narrow little world doesn’t get shattered by a cancer diagnosis at some point, although I fear that’s the only thing that would ever make them see sense. Is it really awful of me to say that?

I’m currently reading The Emperor of All Maladies and it really is fascinating - I’ve recommended that this person should read it before they comment again but I doubt very much that they will.

On a brighter note my lovely daughter is home from uni for a few days. She doesn’t finish until Friday and has to go back on Wednesday for rehearsals (she’s studying Musical Theatre) The house will just get messier until she goes back - don’t you just love students?!
