Hi Bloggers
feeling a bit maudlin at present due to the events of the past couple of days. Its funny when one from the generation before goes as it reminds you of how far behind them you are, in this case 18 years. Quite sobering!
Charlotte has just rang and her and Jack will be visiting in a minute. They always give me a lift and it will be lovely to see them.

Overnight I've had a Big Bowel Movement so I feel OK for the future, and will venture out sometime today. Hopefully ending up at the HKTB!
Talk soon guys

More Medical Stuff
Hi Guys
I spent yesterday driving to see our good friends Ian and Paula down in Blandford. They are really good company and the drive allowed me to chill out somewhat and clear my head. I shall miss my uncle and it leaves me with the sobering thought that I am not that far behind in some ways, and need to sort things out for myself.
Whilst there we received news that our daughter Amanda had suffered a crush injury to her left hand. This was done on a boat between the Gunwale and the jetty. she had been admitted to Southampton General where she underwent and operation in the early hours of this morning. All is OK although at one time the doctors thought that she was going to lose her thumb. So she is now walking wounded and is looking forward to going home tomorrow. Maria and I will be picking her up when requested.

More death and sadness
Alas, Alas, Alas.
I've just received the sad news that my Uncle Mike has passed away in hospital in Plymouth. He made his three score and ten and was diagnosed with lung cancer recently.
He was admitted to Derryford Hospital in Plymouth recently for a procedure. He there suffered a heart attack about a fortnight ago and although he seemed to be picking up; he appeared t
o have had another small one which was enough to tip the balance, and died peacefully in the early hours of this morning.

Another weekend Yeh!
Hi bloggers
As I predicted it has become a circus. Texts, mostly derogatory, have abounded over the airwaves. The net is clogged with stuff about him, the TV shows nothing else, (thank the lord for the DVD).
I've not much to say because as noted previously all eyes ears and the spotlight is on the demise of Mr M Jackson.
As I predicted it has become a circus. Texts, mostly derogatory, have abounded over the airwaves. The net is clogged with stuff about him, the TV shows nothing else, (thank the lord for the DVD). No mention hardly of the three children he leaves behind; just the music and the money - how shallow and tacky - your legacy wacky jacky! So sad eh? but such is our society today - the value of all and the worth of nothing.
For myself, the chemo went OK and I feel quite well. the steroids have lifted me and the feeling of tiredness has abated somewhat.
My intentions are to tootle round to Pompey to do a bit of business and end up in the Hong Kong Tea Bar for lunch.
Duck (homeless or not) with Ho-Fun Noodle, I feel, will be the order of the day.
Then, if all is still well, that will be followed by a trip to the New forest and Beyond, if the weather, (and me) hold out.
For the future my next move is a blood transfusion at Haslar next Tuesday, followed by another CT Scan a couple of weeks or so later, followed by a consultation at The QA.
All of the Oncology department will have moved there by then into a new purpose built facility. So it will be good to see what they have to offer. the medicos at Haslar arent to keen but there again nobody likes change , so we will have to wait nd see.
Bye for now bloggers

Hi bloggers
The second part of my blog with the news that no doubt will overshadow lots of other news for days. There are no word able to describe the thoughts I have on the demise of the "King of Pop" Love or hate him this one will run and run.
No doubt there will be dozens of jokes and comment over the phone waves. They'e started already, What a circus!

Chemo and Cancer
Hi bloggers
This has all been chastened and put into perspective by the sad demise of Farrah Fawcett Majors at the age of 62 from this most terrible of diseases and I ask that you can pas a thought for her.
She was one of the icons of the eighties and I make no excuse for the amount of pictures of her . She meant a lot to many people. So farewell Charlies Angel may you be one for real.
Lots to report as much has happened in the last twenty four hours. I shall deal with this in two parts. Firstly my visit to Haslar and the delivery of the Chemotherapy went OK and I feel quite refreshed. I believe that this is due to the extra steroids.
