Advantage of chemo
Now before I commence I want to say that I have nothing against religion as I was brought up a good christian girl. I do not intend to offend anyone by my funny story and that is just what it is - a funny story.
First I will set the scene - I was on day 5 after chemo and feeling pretty slow. I was sitting on the front verandah, in my pjs, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying reading a book. I looked up to see people "stalking" the street. I immediately knew who they represented (religious fanatics). My first reaction was to race inside, turn off the television and hide.(as we were told to do as kids) Then I thought, bugger it I am enjoying the sunshine. So I stayed sitting and kept reading - also observing what was happening at my unsuspecting new NZ neighbours house next door. I also listened to the persistent "talk" that was happening. My new neighbour was polite but stern but still they lingered. I knew I would have "a time of it" to be free of them. Before the "visitors" left my neighbours I was astonished to see an "out of the blue" fella heading towards my driveway. Here I thought "I must think quick" No escaping now in my pjs. He started down my driveway and I thought "How dare you come on my property uninvited" Anyway as he got closer something come over me!!!! "Please don't come any further" I said. "I'm on chemo and I'm toxic!!!" "I'm not allowed to be around people". The look on this fella's face said it all. He immediately stopped and looked up. "Oh, maybe next time then" and he headed off to find his next victim. I couldn't stop laughing - once they were out of earshot of course. - it was hiliarious. Please forgive me God for telling a little white lie!!!!!!! When I told my husband he ticked me off for being rude but then added a worse story from his childhood. Got to have a bit of fun during this nasty time.XLeonie
