We’ve all been feeling good (within reason) for a few weeks now, almost normal you could say. On Friday we met one of the nurses from Phyllis Tuckwell who wanted to explain what they would be able to do not just for me but for all of us. As the conversation moved quite openly and freely we suddenly hit some subjects we weren’t prepared for. No fault of anyone just the natural flow of conversation.
Wham! The realisation that my cancer isn’t going anywhere came back and knocked me and Katie for six. While we hope that the need for caring, hospital bed, regular nurses etc is years and years away. It’s there, in the future somewhere.
It was during these last few days that friends started planning next years motorbike trip and I made a blog post while on quite a downer.
But! We have great friends and support network and they’re doing their best to pick us up out of this brief slump.
I’ve booked my hotel for my bike trip next June! And am honestly looking forward to it. We’re going to book some time away for Katies (50th – ssssh!) birthday in March.
While we’re not going to stick our head in the sand regarding the cancer we can only deal with the here and now. Right here and now we’re doing well.
