Drained and Exhausted

Hi Bloggers
I'm sorry about the lack of correspondence but I've been tom dick again. Ive been in quite a lot of pain in my thighs and butt along with a feeling of great tiredness. In fact most of the last week or so has been spent sleeping. After seeing he consultant yesterday (Tuesday 23rd) it seems i am also anaemic. So its Chemo tomorrow and a Blood transfusion next Tuesday 30th.

I am otherwise OK and will try and fill you in as best I can as to the events of the last ten days.
I shall begin by telling you of the visit of my brothers Mark and Keith, and their boys Zak and Dean, who arrived on Saturday evening (13th). They sang for their supper and put in a new drain for me from outside of the kitchen to the manhole. The previous one kept blocking with dead soap powder and could only be cleared by rodding from the manhole end. I was able to do this previously but not in my present condition so it was best to fit a new drain with a bottle gully for ease of access and maintenance. The bits were expensive considering that they are plastic but it was still cheaper than a call out from Dyno-Rod et al.
They also took loads of gear down the tip for me which was another weight off of my mind.
They went back up north on friday morning and I look forward to their return.
