By the 'eck - you live well at your house. 
It was Damson if you didnāt read further - was delicious.
Hello Dreamy just checking you are Ok.
Iām fine, Sweetie, thank you for asking.
I didnāt get any biopsy result yesterday but met a wonderful resource. They welcome you with tea and biscuits (all home made) and encourage people to talk about their feelings both before and after anything major like appointments/decisions or just act like a sounding board for people like me.
I saw them both before and after my appointment yesterday. I still have another 6 days to wait now, but both the nurse and consultant were happy with my looking after myself since discharge. I feel energised for going in next week.
And I met my older friend in his hospital room - heās glad of my visits and his company is interesting.
So, Iām really in the best possible place - my steroids reduce sharply now (which should cure my overeating, although about half of that I put down to nerves and needing to keep busy doing something).
Listening to my favourite Dylan at 7:30 on a Friday makes me happy, too.
Oh, Iāll miss my hospital fish and chip lunch - canāt have everything!
The doctorās secretary phoned and they now want to see me on Monday at noon as opposed to Thursday.
This means they have discovered something - hoping itās Lymphoma again as I would gladly take some more chemo.
Iām feeling pretty relaxed about it.
That is something at least.
My hopes and prayers are with you Dreamy.
Difficult for me to post on this phone, but I came to support you.
Sending sunshine smiles.
Gratefully received. Yes, phones are much harder to post on, especially when thatās all youāve got for 10 days.
Yes but at least I can stay in touch Dreamy.
WiFi is good here.
Itās good youāre taking a watchful eye whilst still having a deserved break.
I was worried about you, so I decided to continue posting, whilst also chilling.
No need to worry - Iām in good cheer and have a whole forum to read.
You are doing fine Dreamy.
Still wish I hadnāt started that Tarot thread, though.
Why? It started really well.
Just a bad feeling about it; still, itās buried a bit under now. Iām feeling good today though - less than a couple of days until my new appt.
It was a good thread and made a nice change. We donāt get that kind of thread on here as a rule.
You can always pick it back up when youāre feeling like it.
Good to see you feeling good today ā¦ thatās whatās important.
I agree with Morti.
Thanks Morti, Iāll pick it up again sometime soon.
Well, I awoke at 3:30, a tad early for me but I suppose I must have slept since around 10pm. I aim for a nap at around 12.
These painkillers are effective (codeine), I had a sore neck an hour ago but itās gone away now.
Iām excited for the coming week - a bag of nerves, really, but Iāve developed some mental resilience lately and using this forum has been a blessing - all sorts of people from differing backgrounds with good intentions towards me - it does have an energising effect
A shot of when the sun hits my house. It faces North East so is pretty rare except for an occasional glimpse in the mornings. My house is less tidy than I like it currently.
Just 4 hours until my appointment. At least today there should be a firm diagnosis and a plan of action - I can follow a plan down to the letter, Iāve done it before with cancer.
Iām a bit nervous but pleasantly so, the forum has really kept me going in the past few weeks. Being able to post from hospital was invaluable, and I realise that there are so many others out there with similar health concerns and difficulties.
