SUNNY SATURDAY

 

What a beautiful day it has been today, a very cool breeze but beautiful sunshine the whole day. The above photos I took along the side of the main road when I ventured out with Mike today for a drive. The Magnolia trees looked so beautiful and other trees are coming into blossom.  We drove for a while and then sat for a while and watched the world go by.  Good job I took my camera.

The doctor was extremely nice to me yesterday.  When I tell you he gave me over an hour just to sit and talk and ask questions you will know that it was a successful meeting.  He did give me more tranquilizers and also some sleeping tablets if I need them.  Last night I managed without but that could have been sheer exhaustion.  He told me I can come and talk anytime, that he, the other doctors and all the staff are behind me 100 percent.  I told him about the previous afternoon when I tried to make an appointment, with tears streaming down my face as I was on my way home from the hospital, how I had been refused, how I was told I could phone in the morning and take my chances as to whether I got one or not.  I told him I ended up swearing at the receptionist.  He assured me this will not happen again.

He got his nurse to take the dressing off my breast and thankfully there was no seepage and it is less painful today albeit very bruised.

Mike has treated me to a huge new houseplant, a very large palm called Bamaerops Humilis.  I was stunned when I saw how big it is because we have such small rooms here but I love it.  Easy to care for, no direct sunlight, plenty of water, never let it dry out and feed frequently.  Sounds a bit like me!

I would like to thank Sandra for her very long phone call to me this morning.  We certainly put the world to rights Thank you my dear friend for giving so much of your time.

You will notice that I have new graphics on my sidebar.  Chris, thank you so much for making them for Sugar and myself. 

Please, dear friends, snag these graphics and if you would like to, add them to your own sidebars linking back to our journals.  We already have your support but this would mean so much more.  If you do not know how to link, add the graphic to your sidebar and before you hit SAVE highlight the graphic (it might take several goes - I had to do it from left to right).  The graphic will go dark.  Then click on the little globe between text and camera at the top and add the URL of the journal for instance  the full internet address of Jeannette's Jottings.  You will see by looking at my sidebar.

I have already added the URL of Sugar to the graphic.  Please click on it to visit her journal.  We have been diagnosed at almost the same time although she has a different cancer to mine.  Sugar is a very sweet and very helpful lady but I know that she is just as scared as me inside.  So please go and support her.  At the moment she and I are helping each other.

Other than that I have been doing a bit of tidying up and doing crosswords.

Now, I am not getting ANY alerts at the moment.  Not a single one. Not for people posting or for comments received.  Repeated complaints have got me nowhere.  So I would ask you to leave the URL of your journal so I can visit you.  I have quite a few on my favourites list but by no means all and I have no way of knowing you have posted UNLESS you leave your journal link and I can come and have a look.

Well, that is about all my news.  I want to go and have a cuppa now and then get the salad prepared for our evening meal.

Once again, thank you so much everyone for your support.  To be honest I am overwhelmed.  I read each and every comment to Mike and he had tears in his eyes as well.  It is wonderful to know that so many people are rooting for you.

Wishing you all a happy weekend. God bless.
