The problem with promising a daily entry to this blog is that there are so many days when nothing happens about the cancer.
OK, it’s still hard going, but there’s not a lot new to say.
Then I got told, in no uncertain terms, that various people are looking forward to reading this on a daily basis.
Well there’s no accounting for taste, but please understand that sometimes it will be random meanderings with very tenuous links to oesophogeal cancer.
Certainly it looks like there will be a few days before I get the notification from the Christie.
I’m still experimenting though. Sea bream is OK, but sweet potatoes are not, though not as bad as ordinary spuds. I can also eat cocktail sausages, but only singly, then take a break for a while. Tomorrow morning is a really big experiment, dangerous too. It’s pigs in blankets, well just one sausage wrapped in one piece of bacon, more pig in blanket. But f I can eat that, then it’s another step back towards a better diet. True it will be a wierd diet, but frankly I don’t care.
And the answer to yesterday’s riddle is here (just scroll down). Yes Steve, as a joke it was weak. You want good jokes from this broken down old coder?
Well Malcolm, in these waiting periods I think it would be a good idea to start a “Name the Cuddly Toy” competition. And to use said animal in an exercise routine, more of that later. I was dismayed to hear that you only ate one and a half sausages, knowing you love for the delicacy, I feel that the missing portion was nicked off your plate – the mystery of the missing sausage. I have a culprit for you, the cuddly toy. The sneaky little perisher, whilst you back was turned snaffled the porker from off your plate and swallowed it whole. Hence my suggestion for its name Arthur, surname Sausage. Sorry, couldn’t resist it.
Now for the exercise regime. Lob a ball across the room and shout fetch. Arthur I feel would be no-responsive, therefore thrown him after the ball. Then shout, come which will illicit the same response. Hence you will have to go and retrieve both ball and Arthur your self which will give you both stress relief in throwing Arthur and exercise in retrieval. Works for me.
