Work outing....



We are not going there on last night, sorry Peter but the wedge wasn't the answer to sleepless nights but once the wounds heal a little further I will have another go...so sleep remains elusive. 

Today I had my first work outing since my op and I attended the sales meeting to just say G-day to the guys and to learn more about our spring marketing initiatives, which I have to say are impressive.

I wasn't feeling too great after another hopeless night and yet it really is a great distraction from all the aches and pains. The best I have felt in ages was the few hours following the meeting and after I had headed back to rest again.

The district nurse visited me to sort out my dressings and I never realized these resources were in existence. I was so ignorant about so much when it has come to health care. Still learning a lot.

The warmer weather brings with it promise of feeling better and I just crave the sunlight at the moment. I feel every bit of the cold as my weight continues to drop away. Bring on some spring weather.

Tonight it was back to the farm and on the way back we detoured and looked at a property in McLaren Flat that was developed by friends of ours, it is amazing but quite unusual and is being sold. 

It is about this time of night that you can't help wondering how long the night will be. It has now reached the point where my blog (my life) is in a recovery phase and reporting back on it daily must be boring the living daylights out of everyone. My world right now revolves around my sleeping habits and pain relief...

So, I'll continue through until this weekend and then switch to a weekly report to try and keep it interesting and informative. I have got a lot out of sharing my journey, it has been good therapy for me and I know has helped some of you understand what people with cancer are/have gone through.

Catch you all tomorrow night, sleep well, and appreciate it!

  2. I also do not find your blog boring, in fact I find it to be very uplifting & at times very humorous. I also don't know you, a good friend of mine works for you & told me about your blog, so I hope you don't mind me eavesdropping into it. I am a nurse & it is great to read what it is like for the patient on their journey, you are doing really well, and its been quite emotional at times reading your blog, the strength of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me. Good luck Anthony, I have good vibes about you, you are a survivor.

  3. Thanks so much to both of you for your responses. I have had quite a few emails as well...so someone out there is reading all these ramblings.
    I must say, pain and sleep have dominated my thinking, and therefore my blog.
    Let me just roll with this and see where it goes, again, thanks heaps.
