So here I am at 3.30 am snuggled in my own nest and so, so happy to be home again. In so many ways it is just the same and yet everything is different. All my things are familiar and safe but I know that everything has changed.
My radiotherapy yesterday went well - lovely to have finished the first step of the treatment. It will now continue working for a week or 2 and then I should see the full effects. In the meantime I have plenty of painkillers and the aim is to have no pain so you take tablets ( and more tablets etc) to keep the pain at bay. I now have a lovely tablet cupboard rather than my tablet box! Today Ben and I are going to make a spread sheet to detail all my drugs and then I should be able to keep on top of it all. Well that's the plan! It was so good to have had the time in hospital to get used to all this with the nurses help so that now it doesn't seem so complicated. The aim is to be pain free but withit - not pain free and asleep all the time!
Today we are planning a little visit out - and maybe lunch if I can mange so much excitement - with Chloe, Ed and my wheelchair. Then Joy, Adam and Talia are coming for a visit and Kitty is coming to stay while Paul goes up to London to his first Prom for a little while. The cousins are all meeting up this evening for a meal together which will be lovely for them. It is wonderful to see my family all supporting each other as well as me.
We are taking each day as it comes and not planning too far into the future for now. I have so much to be thankful for and so much to delight in right now.
