Possibly more boring than quiet, but I am making slow but steady progress.
I am back on to two panadol 4 times a day, will keep that up for a couple more days. Currently only real issue is VERY sensitive skin on my abdomen, below the scar. Apparently this is quite common and can last for quite a few weeks, it is not a big deal though.
So far I been largely entertaining myself by reading the second and third parts of Steig Karsson's Millennium Trilogy. I had read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo last year and have been given The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest as birthday presents, just prior to my surgery. The first book stands quite well on it's own, but the Fire finishes prematurely and Hornet's Nest would be unintelligible if Fire had not been read first. Currently about half way through Hornet's Nest and can strongly recommend the whole set.
Hoping to get the the caravan in the next day or so, unfortunately weather is not good until later next week, but we both need a change.
Today the appointment with the oncologist arrived - Friday 18 June at 10:00AM. That is when we will discuss chemo options and the approach to be taken. I have got a lot of useful information from The Association of Cancer Online Resources. The colon group has given me much support and useful information, and so far medical professionals have not been upset that I am well prepared.
Got a get well card from some of the team in Twizel - thanks guys, great to see that I am not yet forgotten.
