Zombie and Chemo - The Ongoing Saga

[IamtheZombie]

Summer is slipping away but the chemo goes on. Previous thread is here

Please join in. We're a friendly bunch of bananas.

I'll have the cave next to ikls there's no way my hips are up to climbing.

How are you zombie?

Hoping that you are continuing to improve Zombie but still get plenty of rest, that seems to be a key factor for you.

Did Fid get her pork pie?

Sorry to hear you have your balance problems back ikl they must be horrible.

I don't mind which cave I have, can I have cave paintings though? I quite fancy them.
Last time we had ropes and ladders linking us all, but the site's been upgraded to Premier Class now, so we've got walkways, glass bridges and zip wires this time!
I'm not sure about keeping chickens, it sounds like a lot of work for just a few eggs. Can't we just get Jesus in the Cabbage van to bring us some when we need them?

I volunteer to go to supermarket for eggs n pork pies, if I can have a fluffy sleeping bag 🌺🌸🌺🌸

I've authorized your fluffy sleeping bag Susie

PORK PIES!!!! Yay!!

You can have any cave you want Ikl, just get that still set up

Much more civilised to get Jesus to deliver, I wonder if he does cave paintings on the side...

Off now for 4 generation lunch with my mother, daughter and grandson!

I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have just changed the beds, emptied the bins & recycling, put two loads of washing on and cleaned the kitchen!

Hope things have now massively improved for you Zombie, any results from your blood test yet ?

Evening all.

I'm still only really feeling half Zombie. But, that's a huge improvement on feeling like death not even warmed over.

I'm resting a lot but still trying to get a few things done and get out of the house every day.

lin, they will only get in touch about my blood results if they are concerned about them. I'm taking it as a good thing that I've not had a phone call this week. When I have my telephone consult on the 20th will be the time for me to ask about the numbers.

It's really lovely to have the ravine back again. Weren't we TeamDBF in those days? Maybe we could morph into PhalanxDBF...

Pleased to hear you a feeling a tad better.

Don't see why we can't be Phalanx DBF.................

In the interests of The DBF Phalanx and as Keeper of the Gin I tried Lidl's upmarket gin..

Lidl Gin

It is delicious & up there with other gins that cost twice as much.

That'll be the ration for today!

So glad you're feeling a bit better Z and that does sound like no news is good news for your blood results.

I'm pleased you like the ravine too, I hope Allalone has left some of the rusticity during her upgrade , I love the glass walkways though even if they do make my feet tingle!

I like DamnBuggerFuckPhalanx a lot and it would be a good strong name for Ikl's distillations - are we going cottage industry, or are we going to glug it all ourselves?

Haha, daft question of the week clincalissimo!

Can I please order a round of gin ration for the DamnBuggerFuck Phalanx?

DS has scraped passed the 11+ for two of the local grammars. Now we have a FOUR MONTH wait to find out if they offer him a place!

I like DamnbuggerFuckPhalanx too ! Fingers crossed for your ds Ikl.
Hope you are ok Zombie. I have chest infection and waiting for meds to kick in.

ikl fingers crossed.

Hope you are feeling at least three quarters Zombie by now!! How have you been over the weekend?
How many days is it now till ZombieLad arrives?

Don't worry B3 I've not gone all Stirling Prize concrete and chrome on the ravine update, still rustic with wood burners etc. Is there a sea view, I'd like that? There are some great ravines near Sorrento that would fit the bill.

How are all our poorly people? married's knee, ikl's dizzy wizziness, lin hope your meds have kicked in by now.

I've got a glass of prosecco here to toast ikl's clever young cove, very well done that boy!!! Clincalissimo!!

Evening all. Hope you're all ok / better / in fine fettle. The dizzlies are being quite nasty this weekend - they always get worse before they get better. So I'm sulking and feeling sorry for myself. I don't even feel like drinking the mini bottle of prosecco in the fridge.

Anyway, I'll stop being mard and give myself a kick up the arse (If I don't fall over first). Here's this week's Strictly round up....

Strictly Week Four - who was shown the door?

Well done Ikljunior, don't denigrate, a pass is a pass.
And hope your dizziness recedes; sorry ravine talk may not help.

lin I'm on week 4 of that chest thing, not funny, not sleeping.

I've imagined our ravine as a tributary of a gentle river with a small lake as a punctuation point.
Does someone know the geographical term for that?

I've got a glass here to toast Allalone's attentive round up

Oh god. Don't say that BBB ! I have been sleeping sort of sitting up or else I can't breathe, did have a terrible cough for 2 days but that has gone . Problem now is the infection ! Dh has gone away with his mates from his quiz team today ( including one of my brothers ) they do this quite often and Save all their winnings to pay for it, nowhere posh just cheap and cheerful! He would of stayed at home but what's the point, I prefer to be left alone when I don't feel well. And it would of mucked up the little break for everyone else. I do hope I dont have same as you !!! And if you still have it. I hope it will hurry up and bugger off.

A pass is indeed a pass B3. We're so proud of him. I may have burst into tears with snot & everything when I opened the letters.

Speaking to his tutors yesterday they reckon he's in with an extremely good chance of getting in his preferred school because we live so close.

I hope you're continuing to rally Z.

I'm going to experiment with some moss to make carpet for the caves, that bright green, velvety looking stuff.
Just need a bit whizzed up in a mixer with some yoghurt apparently .

Hope everyone's ailments are receding.

Fx for Ikljunior, shame you have so long to wait for a decision.

Have you got Ventolin inhaler lin? It really helps with breathing at night.

I have blue inhaler.,but also symbicort one that I take at night, just one or two puffs. Feeling ,a lot better but not 100% cent. Luckily Dh is away so I can just veg out and do sod all !!

It's a sod of a cold/virus. I've had it for 4 weeks & it's now given me labyrnthitis as its final flourish.

Hope you are OK, Zombie.

Ooh Magi - many sympathies. That's what my dizzlies started off as. Hope yours clears up soon. I'm signed off for an initial two week 'wait and see'.

Also hoping all is well with you Zombie.

We've just taken a thank you card and some chocs to DS's tutor. They've told us that it was apparently a very difficult exam this year and the pass rate was much higher as a result. Only 3-4 children out of each class have passed

Sorry to hear you've been suffering too magi.

It just seems to linger doesn't it?

and large all round.
