Prof Linch was back from his hols yesterday acknowledging he’d been following my progress while away. We had a long chat. The general impression is that this week I’ll be having further tests (chest X-Rays, full CT scans) to assess progress with a view to getting me onto oral drugs and be allowed home for a few days for more pre round 2 chemo recuperation. While I’m keen to move on with my broader treatment this all sounds good. I may even be able to attend a builder’s visit to our future home planned for Wednesday next week. The frustrating thing is there is no time commitment on the X-Ray and I just have to sit around waiting. That’s no good.<\/p>\n

Forgot to mention that we were visited by Betty and Emily (sister-in-law and niece) as well has Ed and Cornelia (A Capella) over the weekend. Visits are always nice. Come and see me if you’re in town and have an hour to spare.<\/p>\n

Laptop insurance claim is stalling a bit as they don’t seem to be receiving the emails I am sending. Am calling a couple of times a day to try and move this on.<\/p>\n

Oh, and by the way. Today marks six weeks as an inpatient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
