Phew

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.
  • Benign is the best word in our predicaments!  Woo hoo!

    As to Melbourne weather, oh it can be so dramatic!


  • 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....
