Whats Good Enough for MJ (and some useful links)

Yesterday I had my port fitted, typical me I knew it was a procedure but hadn't read up on it or contemplated that it might involve a wee bit of sedation....turned out it was actually a minor op and luckily my lovely man friend P drove me and took care of me. The surgeon was such a great chap and told me not to worry as they were going to give me some mighty fine drugs, a drug infact that Michael Jackson had on a daily basis Propofol, it was administered to him by some medical clerk or something that would not be allowed in this country as it is not to be used outside of a hospital environment. I tell you what.......I am not surprised he moon walked everywhere, infact I admire him, I could barely stand up afterwards I had to be wheeled out of theatre in a wheel chair . The port that was inserted into my chest means that I do not have to obliterate my veins with chemo on a weekly basis and instead have a little rubber dome under my skin that is connected to an artery near the heart that pumps it round my body in an efficient manner. Clever......... science does it again. Considering when I was a child I had a massive dangly pair of pipes hanging out of my body which had to be flushed and cleaned regularly I looked like a kind of cow hybrid, the under skin dome is much more practical and doesn't have to be cleaned every 5 minutes.

So after my port I gathered more organic produce from waitrose (spent too much of what I cant afford) along with organic seeds for my raised vegetable beds in the garden, my brothers and I have been clearing it and levelling the end by the river I can't wait to get going with it and will be filling the windows in the house with seedlings this weekend. :). 

Today was spent making Granola and preparing meals. Taking it easy but trying to get out and about.

 I have decided to try and do some Qi Gong in the mornings in order to get the old joints lubricated, this is supposed to help cancer patients apparently. they hold sessions at the Pickering Centre but I cant make the day as it is chemo day, so I am you tubing some workouts here is one.........: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzD4svzG9js.

Also while I think about it here is a link to some interesting information and personal research on cancer and maintaining health during treatment as well as preventative measures: http://www.davidpassmore.co.uk/dealing-with-my-cancer/4570639394

 I think after my rude health this week a bottle of prosecco is in order tomorrow. 

The steroids are wearing off this evening bye bye housework......and relax
