Yes, it was nice, too, 10c and sunny.
Hi, Ffosse. I know you are a bundle of nervous energy with your mind racing and having trouble sleeping, but how are you feeling? Is it good to be home? Are you eating well enough?
Iām pleased to see you around the forum on different topics.
Iām still feeling a little wired from the reducing dose of steroids - feel a lot of excitability. And itās not been easy to switch off.
Yes itās good to be home (but Iām still dreading what they might tell me at the hospital tomorrow; no point, I know).
Iāve been able to sleep fairly well after the first 2 nights, Sat/Sun which were bliss after getting out.
Am about to treat myself to a meal in a nice place - I believe I deserve one as I donāt tend to eat out that way very often.
My appetite is fine - and thank goodness my constipation is over.
About to have huevos rancheros for my lunch.
Changed my mind and had the Philly Cheese Steak instead - I was hungry and it filled me up. Itās the type of establishment which is very busy in the mornings and at night, but quiet during the day.
They have their downstairs 'Burrow".

Nice looking place and meal, Ffosse, but whereās the pint of real ale?
No, no drink for me - not even tempted with all my meds.
Course not. Silly me. Not worth the risk bud:cool:
Of course, afterwards I popped into the local Mental Health advice shop and had a cup of tea and two biscuits with them. I feel I need a lie-down now, or at the very least a simple sandwich for my main meal tonight.
The food exceeded my expectations and wasnāt dear at all.
Well I slept from 10 'til 3 then that was me for the night. Nerves about todayās news. I suppose whatever they uncover will require further scans to determine itās shrinkage (I hope).
Iām just rambling, really, with no-one to read me at this time of the morning (although itās coming up 6:45).
I do hope you receive good news today. My fingers are crossed for you
Thank you Leia, I do appreciate it very much. Iāve been sounding off on this thread about the whole process which started with a simple x-ray.
But itās good for me, gives me an outlet, and other members have been fantastic.
Iāve opened my curtains and toast with raspberry jam will be my breakfast.
Good luck today!
Thanks AnnieS - you are someone who has proved very helpful with advice for me, too.
I hope you receive good news today Ffosseā¦
Thanks, Mags, only just over 3 hours now - Iām thinking of walking to the hospital as I have to walk 20 minutes to the nearest bus stop, which is in the opposite direction anyway.
Also I plan on visiting the same chap I saw on Monday again - donāt think he has many visitors and he is such a cheery bloke despite circumstances.
You sound a lot more positive in yourself Ffosse and going out more is good for you and will help you ⦠well done
I need it to counteract the weight I put on due to the steroids, but find a slow walk very therapeutic - I normally rush around everywhere. If I leave here at 10:50, walk slowly, Iāll still be in plenty of time for my appointment.
In general, I wonder how many interesting things Iāve missed out on by rushing around from A to B. I get impatient with motorists, other pedestrians for dawdling.
They donāt have the biopsy results in yet after 11 days - I wish they had just phoned me. Still, they took my weight and blood.
They did reiterate that they thought this was a Lymphoma which would be good, but fundamentally I must wait until 12 noon next Thursday and just phone in if I get sick in the meantime.
A bit of a downer, really.
Donāt worry Ffosse, Just continue with the positive attitude that you have shown recently⦠it really does help!
