Monday afternoon

Re-bonjour everyone!

I'm just back from the zappy place. Cor, I didn't feel well from the moment I got out of bed. Just dizzy and really out of balance so Julia and I went to see my Consultant Oncologist Dr Wilson who was kind enough to see me pretty much straight away. I've absolutely no complaints about the way I've been looked after at the hospital...brilliant.
Well, the problem is all that radiation that they're zapping into me. I really, really hope it works after all this! Think Shrink now please!!

Massive thanks to Julia for the sausage sandwiches, Kettle crisps, cherries and TURKISH DELIGHT! mmmmmmmm

I fell asleep in the waiting room again and yes, 'The machines were running late again....doh!'

I forgot to remind you all this morning that we're down to 12 milligrams of those horrid steroids. Yeah! Good job because I'm getting chubby again. Dr Wilson said that arm and leg muscles waist on them and that's why I'm struggling a bit. Well, we all knew this was going to happen so...keep on keeping on and fight the good fight.

There's be a small party on March 10th when the steroids finish and you're invited!

Here's a little message from my nephews Charlie and Archie...... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JMyjbZu1HeI

Love

Ali

Hello Bud.
Thinking Shrink all the way to Wales and back today.
It didn't work on the toll - £5.30 to get into Wales! And free to get out!? Don't figure.

Al,

I woke up this morning thinking ThinkShrink over and over. At 4am.

i tried kidding myself that this was when you were in the buzzy machine but it would have been 8pm your time so clearly not.

By the time i'd done the maths i'd woken up so i went on to thinking how you should let Cancer research nick the ThinkShrink idea for their next marketing campaign. I'd buy the Tshirt (although perhaps not the boxer shorts! - you might struggle to get the logo onto ladies T-shirts too.. although I'm sure the XXXL ones would sell well!).

Linds kicked me out of bed at this point because i woke her up to see whether she thought the T-shirts would sell to women. She thought i'd been smoking herb in the middle of the night. I got up and snoozed infront of BBCNews.

Anyhoo, good luck for the rest of the week, thinkshrink!

Hello mate,
Its 10 past 2 and I've just got back from La Tania and the best thing that happened to me today was speaking to you. The 2nd best was meeting your missus, 3rd best Wardie on stage singing something about miners, 4th best Dinga was inda house, 5th best some funny jewish bloke, 6th best I made it home to send this and 7th Best even though he was Man Utd. was George. You have now suppassed George and are coming home to see some Jewish bloke called Dinga singing a miners song about your missus, but I won't tell anyone!
Love Russ, Belle & Cara xxxx
