I had a great day yesterday. In the morning I had coffee with 2 friends (one came as a surprise) catching up on all their news and trying to put the care system to rights! In the afternoon I had a friend come with her 2 girls. They should be prescribed on the NHS. It was wonderful. They arrived at 100 miles an hour and didn't stop talking for the whole afternoon. They brought with them all their things from the holiday club last week and told me all about it. Chloe and the girls made pink ( and when I say pink I mean very pink) sugar mice with lots of laughing and talking throughout. V thank you so much for bringing them they brightened my day so much.

Today may be a rather mammoth day again as I am seeing the wig lady and then waiting for dialysis. Maybe today I might have a wig - we will see as only 1 of the ones I chose has come yet. I am also seeing the dietician during dialysis - hopefully. I am hoping that he will be able to give me advice about eating more as I am loosing weight quite steadily at the moment. Most of my clothes are making me look like a saggy elephant! Ladies you know what I mean.

Chloe has her MRI scan today so we are hoping that will give some answers to her problems that will be easily solved. Josh has his appointment at the pain clinic next week . We are certainly keeping the NHS busy!

Joy in each day remains my catch phrase which seems to be working well. Although please don't think I don't have moments when all this is too much to take in. I am aware that I am coping in this way by God's grace and not by my own abilities which are useless. Yesterday I had a moment while watching a programme about the Lake District when I suddenly thought I might never go again. It was overwhelming for a few minutes. But thankfully it is only a few moments and then I am back to thinking about the here and now. The reminder in the name of this blog is so helpful - just enough light for today.
