7 June 2015



One of the blessings that has come about through this illness is the surprise visitors that have popped in to see us. Last week I had a call from my dear Auntie Elma from Hamilton (one of mum’s younger sisters) to see if we would be home the next day (indeed we were). When she arrived she was not only accompanied by my cousin Lyn, but also unexpectedly my cousin Rosalie & Brian from Robinvale. With that, my kitchen was whisked out of my control and before long we were enjoying delicious soup for lunch, along with the most amazing array of delectable cakes, slices, biscuits and fruit – not to mention soup and casserole to fill the fridge and freezer with. Oh my! Of course, it wasn’t just the wonderful food that was appreciated, but rather the company to enjoy. Thank you so much!

Health-wise, there is nothing new to report, except to say that I am feeling amazingly well! For the past couple of weeks I have experienced less back pain, with less need to ‘top up’ with extra pain medication. I am still taking the chemo drug tablets each day, and right now they are holding things at bay. I am very thankful! We don’t know what the future will hold, but right now I’ll gladly take this more comfortable patch! I am keeping up with my exercise regime, and I am sure that helps me too.
