False Alarm!

In the words of the great man himself I "got a lot a livin' to do" .............so don't you step on my hound dog............or something like that.

Off to St. Lymphoma's this fine sunny morning feeling far too healthy to believe there was a problem, and the smile on the doctors face was enough to tell me that I was right. No signs of the big C on the scan.......... and no explanation as to why I should have got the pains in the first place. They want to do a blood test to check that my pancreas is functioning OK but they don't expect that to be the source of the problem, so I guess I'll just have to put it down to too many sit-ups.

While waiting for all this to happen we've been sunning ourselves on the Costa Cromer, so I'll sign off with some illustrations of traditional British seaside pursuits as demonstrated by the Corby family.


Playing crazy golf
Staring pensively at the sea

And being trampled underfoot by a prehistoric herbivore

I know I must have induced compassion fatigue by now so I promise to remain well for as long as I possible can!

Thanks to everyone for your concern and support.

Less ouch but still worrying......

So here I am back on the medical treadmill again......CT scan booked for Monday 17th and clinic appointment on Friday 21st. Oh joy!

Feeling a bit better though which has got to be good news. My 'friend', as Jessica calls it, is still with me but I can feel it less than before, and I'm definitely more energetic.....

So maybe maybe it was just me overdoing it in my eagerness to get my fitness back?

Fingers firmly crossed here.

Ouch..........Oh Shit.

No photos and little humour this time I'm afraid.

Thanks to all who were able to attend the St. Lymphoma's Summer Fete. We were blessed by fine weather and fine wine, and a good time was had by all I believe, although my memory of the latter part of the evening is somewhat hazy.

Unfortunately the evening seems to have used up what luck was available to me. Over the last couple of weeks I've developed some mild, and sadly familiar, aches and pains in my upper abdomen. A trip to St. Lymphoma's and quick chat with the doctor, and I'm back on the medical treadmill again. He would neither confirm nor deny, as the politicians say, but felt I should have another CT scan to see what's afoot. So I'm waiting for a date.
