Outside of my window a bird is singing loudly - welcoming the day. I am looking forward to this new day. Coffee with a friend then dialysis with R. Also some reading of the book club book which I am enjoying. Reading is becoming a real pleasure again - at last.

Our kitten is very settled now and it is so lovely to be greeted with such delight in the mornings. He is beginning to explore more of the house now and continues to get into scrapes. We all love him greatly - he is a very spoilt kitten.

I managed to dismantle the tree yesterday - the lounge looks rather bare without it. I am hopeful that when we put it back up next year I will be so much better than now.

I am to have my fistulaplasty ( a balloon inserted into the fistula and blown up) on Monday morning. I am going to be sedated before hand as it can be very painful apparently. I will be glad when that is done and out of the way. Hopefully they will then be able to start using the fistula and I will be able to have the Tess line out.

Next week begins the daily hospital visits apart from Sundays.

Monday - Fistulaplasty

Tuesday - Dialysis

Wednesday - breast clinic

Thursday - dialysis

Friday - start radiotherapy

Saturday - dialysis

Sunday - sleep!!!!!!

I am so glad to have my kindle and lovely friends as I guess there will be plenty of waiting! I knew I needed to learn about patience - I guess God thought I needed a lot of practice!!!!!!
