I did. I submitted Helen and my UK tax return this weekend. I had more excuses to postpone which I used with glee. Friends visited on Saturday (we went out for Sushi nearby) and Helen and I have been out another two times this weekend looking at sofas.<\/p>\n

Sunday was filled with Wimbledon and Grand Prix. Andy Murray played a fine match. Helen’s sister Betty and her daughter, our niece Emily, arrived just in time to watch with strawberries, cream and champagne. Our John was here too. As much as I pleaded with the nurse, I was not allowed any alcohol. Oddly enough I’ve not had a drop in nearly 2 months and feel quite good about it.<\/p>\n

Healthwise I feel better than I was first admitted. I’m still fighting liver and lung issues triggered by the first round of chemo. This will probobaly stay improving until the docs feel it’s a good time to resume the poisoning.<\/p>\n

Today, when Helen gets here, we’ll go out, have lunch and this time it’s bedroom furniture. Incidentally, we’ve almost picked something. I subscribed to Which? and am getting much better reviews. We want a decent mattress for our bed and there is a very economical foam memory foam mattress by SilentNight which we’ll almost certainly get for ourselves. Not a lot for the hours of research but it’s slow and steady that will win the day here – and pass the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
