A promising weekend

I'm in recovery after an enjoyable but relatively hectic weekend. I've been pottering around the house sorting out paperwork and things, helping with making food, washing up. Its all rather normal! I also went to see the Harry Potter film yesterday evening, and went out shopping to TK Maxx today as well. Oh, and I got woken up by a massive explosion noise at 6am, despite the closed double-glazed windows, which turned out to be this huge oil depot in Hemel Hempstead which is just 4 or 5 miles from Watford. You can see the smoke plume in the distance - bizarre.

The aching from the biopsy has moved around a bit, but is generally less of a worry than yesterday, and in fact the general level of pain is pretty managable. I've made a resolution to try and stop taking the strong sub-morphine medication (Tramadol), and stick with paracetamol as I think the strong stuff made me sleep and concentrate badly. So far so good.

I'm going to tentatively plan a few more things this week. Hopefully I'll have my specialist appointment on Wednesday so Sharon is going to pick me up from Watford Tuesday night and take me down to south London to say hi to some of our dancing buddies, then deposit me in my house in Streatham overnight so I can get to the hospital easily the next morning. Hopefully I'll be up to driving my little car back home to Watford afterwards. Will be nice to be mobile.

So all looking good, subject to further notice. Oh my god, I've just realised I've failed to take any medication today at all. Getting a bit too casual about the whole thing? oops! Signing off swiftly...
