Final Oncology appointment...

Yes, some lobbying went a long way. I have posted some pics from last week....thanks to some heavy lobbying. They are not that good but there you go. Also, more bad jokes at the end.

Today was my last Oncology appointment. I had no idea. Thanks to so much happening over the past two weeks it didn't occur to me I could go from one week ago being in so much trouble to today saying farewell to my Oncology mate, Tabitha. It was really odd.

Gen and Suz met Sylvia and I as we arrived for our appointment at 10.40am at Burnside Hospital, and we sure finished in force. I have been keen to have the family attend any of the appointments they reasonably can so they are part of the journey and get information first hand. We made a family decision at the start that there would be no filtering of information and that what it is at any stage is what it is.

It was after the customary 1000 questions that Tabitha just announced, "well that's it for me guys, good luck, I hope it all goes well....my job is done"!

I had no idea. It was a weird feeling, through all the pain and drama you do create a bond and almost dependency, it was an experience in itself. I feel like I have so much better understanding of the inside workings of the medical world, so different to business, such a contrast.

From here it is over to the surgeon who will take me from this point to my cure. All the signs are good. Obviously the radiotherapy and Chemo did its job, it nearly killed me but didn't. Hopefully it did kill all the bad guys and has left the good ones there to rebuild, and to get ready for 3 weeks time.

I have a window of a couple of weeks where I need rest, relaxation, feeding and exercise to build back up. My weight this morning had dropped again. 69 kg and falling. My jeans will not stay up at the moment and my belt is no longer a mere accessory.  We will hopefully be fattening up from here on in.

Tonight we ventured out to a restaurant, what a treat. Tomorrow Sylv and I head off to Melbourne late morning for our you beaut holiday which we are so looking forward to...a trip to Melbourne.

Feeling much better than the weekend and think we are coming good now. I hope so. I am ready for it.

Remember to enjoy EVERY DAY, they are all precious.

Two ladies talking in Heaven....

1st woman:  Hi! Wanda.

2nd woman: Hi! Sylvia. How'd you die?

1st woman: I froze to death.

2nd woman: How horrible!

1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

1st woman: So, what happened?

2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer---we'd both still be alive.

Now some more Looch jokes...

PRICELESS

I just knew HE had a sense of humour!!!!!!!


While creating women,

God promised men that

good and obedient wives

would be found in all

corners of the world.
......

Then He smiled and

made the earth round.



 Last one....


NO WONDER SO MANY OLDER GUYS RECKON THEY HAVE PROSTRATE PROBLEMS!!!

An old guy goes to his doctor for his physical
and gets sent to the Urologist as a precaution.


When he gets there, he discovers the
Urologist is a very pretty female doctor.

The female doctor says,
"I'm going to check your prostate today, but this new procedure is a little different from what you are probably used to.
I want you to lie on your right side,bend your knees, then while I check your prostate,
take a deep breath and say, '99'.”

The old guy obeys and says,

"99".

The doctor says, "Great",
now turn over on your left sideand again,
while I repeat the check, take a deep breath and say,

'99".

Again, the old guy says,

'99'."

The doctor said, “Very good”.

Now then, I want you to lie on your back
with your knees raised slightly.
I'm going to check your prostate with this hand,
and with the other hand
I'm going to hold on to your penis to
keep it out of the way.

Now take a deep breath and say,

'99'.

The old guy begins,


"One....



two…




three…"


You don't stop laughing because you grow old.
You grow old because you stop laughing!
