Busy day yesterday. Drive to the local rural train station that has a decent amount of parking, only to find it chock-a-block with white workmen's vans. Had to head out of the village and abandon my car on a muddy embankment before run walking back to the station. Get to the platform, and yes, you've guessed it, no fewer than five of the vans start up and move on out in convoy. Having not actually done any running since last July I could have done with some fluid but scans were both Nil by mouth.
Met a colleague at Euston then three appointments, three different buildings! Liver MRI then CT then bloods. Went to get a tissue from my coat pocket on the train on the way home and found my bra still stuffed in there from when I had to take it off for the scans!!
Back up again this Friday to see the oncology team and the clinical trials nurse. Might have to face that one alone as we're trying to save my DH's A/L. He's been in his job less than a year but has arranged to see his manager and HR next week.
Got a busy weekend of catching up with friends and family all booked in. Hoping to see an old uni housemate who I haven't been in touch with since 1997. Turns out he now lives round the corner from my mum. We fell out over toilet paper, makes me laugh now but back then I was fuming. Think I might give him a roll as a present!
Spent a lovely sunny afternoon today listening to the birds in conjunction with the Cornell app. Beautiful birdsong to lift the spirits along with the babbling of the river running through the trees. Nature really is healing.
I think next week is so far appointment free so I'm hoping to get across to Pembrokeshire for some alpaca therapy. Hopefully it won't be quite as wet and cold as it was back in November....but it is Wales so I'll be prepared.
Echocardiogram is booked for the 10th. Trial randomisation Friday the 13th (determined not to read anything in to that). PICC and first infusion due on the 16th.
I have so many tasks that need doing but I just can't bring myself to do them.
