Am approaching the sanctuary with my head bowed low.
Many apologies for being utterly remiss in this rather too long a gap since my last visit.
I think that you will have realised that I have well and truly been fully employed here at home with my dear man`s health going from worse to an even greater degree of concern.
Sometimes I honestly do not know where I am.
However once again I have been truly overwhelmed by your kindness, although I have been absent as it were.
Although please know I value your kitchen dear Soop as my second home,finding an extension as it were over with Doodle during our early lockdown days.
Thank you one and all for your kind caring thoughts.
Since Christmas my dearest has been very poorly,suffering great pain and almost immobile.
Having had a very poor bone scan result he has recently managed further tests with the greatest of difficulties.
On monday the results of his MRI truly shocked hardened medics......they were much worse than anyone had suspected.
Not only is his entire skeleton riddled with this vile disease,but along his spine there were multiple tumours imbedded from the neck to lumber area,some actually virtually on the spinal cord itself............hence almost paralyising him.
He was immediately taken into Hospital,stopping at our local one as his condition required a rest from the gruelling long drive to the Cancer Hospital.
After a period of stablizing he was then transferred via ambulance to this Hospital, whereupon he recieved a mega dose of radiotherapy...........simply hoping to halt the progress of the most dangerously situated tumours............and reduce the awful pain factor.
He has required bed rest until today when he starts some rehabilitation,hopefully he will be allowed home next week.............when the next stage and my nursing care starts all over again.
Of course the situation remains grave,life is very much "One day at a time",and we merely hope for yet another period of respite.
I really am very unsure as to how I can manage, but certainly I hope I can remain well enough to do this because without a doubt,he continues to surprise us all by his fighting power.
Friends have also offered to help, which is such a relief since we have no family o our own.
My dear ,man wears his hat with the motto "Never give up" with great pride............and so do I......... on his behalf.
Please know you have never been forgotten and I sincerely hope to be popping in from time to time..........if and w hen time allows.
Meanwhile such a big thank you for remembering us.
Wishing you all health and safety in these bleak days ..........spring is only around the corner,that surely denotes hope.
I'm with Charleyg. Her appraisal is spot on.
Let's hope his wound stays clean and heals quickly. He must be taking up most of your - and his - waking hours.It’s been a while so I will start us off…….whats for supper and why?
