Phew, a last a day where I'm not feeling sick all the time. I didn't do much apart from veg around the house today, but at least I didn't spend the whole day in my room. I think the chemo drugs ran out last night, hence why I feel so good today. Not looking forward to when the district nurse turns up to change over to a new batch of chemo.
The nurse turned up early in the morning. I was expecting the changing of the drugs to be a little uncomfortable. Turns out that there was nothing to worry about, she was all done in a couple of minutes. She'd had plently of experience in changing the new chemo pumps. I was worried that I might have to show her the instructions they gave to me at the hospital on changing the pump. The instructions looks like something from a flat pack except they have been photocopied so many times that you can bearly read the print.
I had a surprise today. My in-laws said that a package had arrived at their address from Amazon for me. I had no idea what it could be, but thought it might be the yearly planner I was looking for and maybe my brother in law had bought it for me (sorry about the long unending sentenaces and spelling, it will be all proof read before I release my first book). Anyway, we're all standing there wondering what an earth it can be when I finally had a brain wave. Yes I opened the box.
Guess what was inside the box????
My new hobbie!....any ideas?
An xbox 360! Wow, I just want to thank all that contributed towards it. I'll start playing it tommorrow. Thanks BDR team, please make sure that all get a link to this blog so that they can keep up to date with my progress.
Considering just 1 month ago I had no consoles, I now have a Nintendo DS Lite (perfect for days at the hospital, my brothers playstation 2 (really so that Shirin can play Spyro) and now an xbox 360. It's like being a kid again.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to all who have supported me so far. I'm not sure what I have done to deserve such great friends. I promise to return the favour to all one day....another reason for me to get better.
I'm going to sign off with e big smile on my face...looking forward to Wednesday, who knows what could happen!

Hey J
Cheese salad sandwich sounds like another gourmet meal at upton park snooker club!!!!
Good to hear that ur nrg levels r up.
How about online Bingo for a hobby?
Hi mate,
Glad to hear that your energy levels are on the up. Although cannot imagine you being anything else but energetic.
Congratulations on the Xbox360. As Rodney said "Jammy bastard". All you need now is a 50" High Definition plasma to get the full experience of the console. Perhaps a small hint to the in-laws?
xbox and chips!!
Hey Jay! Long time since we spoke back in Lloyds eh? I just got an e-mail from Maria about your blog, very sorry to hear about the cancer, rooting for you to pull through it and enjoy your old age in that Spanish villa you were telling me about ;-)
Anyway, I'm glad you have a blog to keep us all updated on your progress, you can visit mine (if you want to kill some time!) at my web page! Hope your wife and family are well and your property empire is still growing!!
Enjoy the 360 mate - better get practising on splinter cell - Im going to get it soon then will play you on-line :-)
do you have a footie game for the x-box. if so, i'll be round asap!
Hiya! What a good idea to keep a diary.
I think that the photography hobbie is a great idea - just think how much money it'll save you re Venture - they'll go bust!
Another hobbie could be a babysitting club for Shirin and her friends... ;-)

Hi there matey,
just wanted to say that I am thinking about you; so sorry to hear about you. You're a fighter, and I am sure you will be on the mend very soon. I hope the Mrs and baby are doing well.
Your blog is a cool idea; will definitely keep up with it.
In the meantime, keep up the energy levels, enjoy the chips and get cracking with Yoga...and more for us on the blog!! :)
Wishing you a speedy recovery...keep smiling!
Meera.

Hi
Issy, Christian and bump 2 here from Italy, just got Shirin's email about the blog, great idea.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. C's auntie and mum's best friend are also going through chemo at the mo. They have been doing it for a while and they have their ups and downs too but things seem to be moving positively. I know one of them plays bridge as a hobby but not sure that would be your thing. We will be back this weekend and will give you a call to see if you are up for a visit. Hugs
