I'm lying here listening to the rain thinking 'Thank f for that.' The last couple of weeks have been shit, but...
The persistent pain in my back doesn't look like mets! Yay! It just looks like my pre-existing degenerative changes have really stepped up a notch. Which, when you think about it, totally sucks, but anything that isn't more cancer is good, right?
The pea sized horrible on my eye lid wasn't cancer either. It may reform, which I'm very excited about, but it's benign.
Aaannnnd it's not going to be forty something degrees today. I was in Melbourne just heading into Southern Cross when the weather changed yesterday arvo. I wanted to stop in the middle of Collins St and wave my arms around with relief. I should have, no-one would have batted an eyelid. Of course with my luck I'd have been barrelled by a tram.
I should get up and go for a walk but there are trees down all along the road, which made getting home interesting last night. If I don't officially see them they don't exist and someone else might get stuck in and clean it all up. Though it could be firewood... Hmmm. To chainsaw or not to chainsaw, that is the question. Might need firewood now it looks like I'll survive a bit longer.

Oh that is very good news....as you say, any other medical issues pale into relative insignificance, compared to the Big C. As for the heat, well nuff said. We had 44.1 C yesterday and a hot sticky night last night. No good. I've taken to Nekkid Knitting of late, and sit in the middle of my queen sized bed, portable air con and ceiling fan whooshing and whop whopping along as I knit. Where previously there were Rounded Hills of Plenty, we now have the Flat Steppes of Mongolia. Further down rests my Buddha Belly and I'm as happy as a clam. I take great care to keep items such as my cable needle (short and double pointed), and small satin roses for embellishment well out of the way. I don't fancy having to explain to the staff in emergency if any of them went "missing". My hubby has been warned to knock before entering, as the door faces the end of the bed and I'm not sure if his defibrillator / pacemaker would be up to the task if the poor sod copped an eyeful!! Long life to us all....6

Benign is the best word in our predicaments! Woo hoo!
As to Melbourne weather, oh it can be so dramatic!

Yayyyyyyyyyyy Marg. Excellent that you have no mets and that your pea was benign. I'm afraid you don't have any say in the matter about sticking around a bit longer because WE WANT YOUR BOOK!!! - and of course also you to be here too!!! As to the trees, if they're not blocking your road/driveway I'd be leaving the wood to dry out a bit ;-) Xx1

Are there any aggravations and difficulties in life that cannot be alleviated a little with a good session with a chainsaw? Although last night's rain here looked set to wash whole swathes of greenery away. Good news, Marg. Take care.1

Great news @Zoffiel, benign is the word of choice!!! Must be damn uncomfortable tho on your eyelid? Do you have to get removed? Could be a chance of a cool eyepatch for a day or two. Oh my god, bring on the best pirate jokes ever! Meh, leave the chain sawing to someone else ....
Merry Christmas xx0 -
@Zoffiel
oh how I love to read your posts they lift me up and make me smile.
Glad the eye thing was benign..... even although you went thru the in office procedure to get rid of it.
@AllyJay
Yep knickers it is here in this heat... with Flat Steppes of Mongolia. Further down rests my Buddha Belly also my kids don't bat an eye when they sail in to my room, me prone on bed ceiling fan whirring and me wishing for A/c in bedroom.
Zoffiel enjoy those prawns in the river girl .....
LIfe is for living and grabbing the things that we enjoy

Yes primeK I agree had u/sound last week as had large lump size of thumb under my right arm (unaffected side) jumping for joy when they said no just new scar tissue from mastectomy ... the things that make us happy after BC1

When I was almost finished Taxol, I discovered a lump under my right arm. Panic! Biopsy showed it was a schwannoma - no, I didn't know there was such a thing either! But benign and wholly unrelated. Was over the moon for days.0
