LA FIN

Hi guys. Well today is the final radiation. Chemo will also stop today until January, when we have been told it will start up again. The body cannot take any more radiation so Di should not have that. The 6 weeks have gone fast and we will now wait to see what happens. She has complained about numbness in her foot and hand so I am not sure what is going on. Today she has said she is feeling tired. We will now work on getting her bowels back to normal!!

Don, your note was very much appreciated. We miss working in the kitchen and hope we can get back to st Andrews in January. Our thoughts and prayers are with y'all.

We will go to Ann Arbor next Tuesday to see the docs and I am thinking of spoiling Di and spending the night. She was exhausted last time we went down so think I will take her to a 'larny' hotel and spoil her.

Barbs, your trip to the game reserve sounded great, especially seeing the big 5 in the same day. Kruger seems a world away. Our temps are now hovering around zero centigrade and a big snow storm is forecast for Wednesday.

I will continue with the blog on a weekly basis to keep you informed.
Hugs to everyone. Ian

  2. Hi Ian and Di,

    Just to wish you lots of love and a big hug coming all the way down the line from the UK. You could come and walk down our English country lane!! The leaves are off the trees now and eveywhere is damp and miserable, but it will soon be Spring again and new life popping through the earth to show us the glorious colours of the bulbs ~ can't wait!!

    Here's hoping you have a wonderful Christmas with the family ~ enjoy yourselves ~ relax and remember you are in many people's thoughts at this time.

    Be strong, look after each other and laugh alot ~

    Much love,

    Jill ~ your cousin back in blighty!!! xxx
    Glenn, Toby and Sam also send their love to you both xxx
