Sunday Morning

Bonjour everyone!

Wow, in fact yesterday was awesome! My eyes didn't go scwiffy for some reason, I'm just a bit dizzy and giddy and out of balance. Other than that I'm cool. I do feel like an invalid at the moment and yesterday was the first time I was in a big crowd so it made things worse a bit but I didn't care because.....

My good friend John (who is the Academy manager at Fulham Football Club) was kind enough to get tickets for Nick, Chris and myself for the Arsenal match. Awesome! What a great day - thank you so much John. Those meat pies were lovely a well. Thanks for driving Chris and good to see you Nick!
Sometimes I don't know what to write. Like now. Writing is good for me, it just kind of lets me get things off my chest, it let's you know what is going on and hopefully we're all happy and informed.
Apparently it's quite common to get a little bit depressed after treatment ends. Mmmmm. Not sure about that one but to be honest the girls at the hospital have been spot with what is happening on so I'm not discounting anything now. I'm going to be really happy though!
I'm feeling tired but good!
Love
Ali

Ha! First one on today. Up early on a Sunday to go out mountain-biking with Tim P. We'll splash through a few muddy puddles for you, mate.

Have a great day with Rachel and Franny.

Catch you later for a cuppa!

bon dimanche ali !!!

le dimanche est un de mes jours préféré dans la semaine.
c est celui ou l on se repose, on se leve un peu plus tard, on regarde quelques dessins animés, on petit dejeune tard aussi alors on oublie le dejeuner.
mais je pense que c est ce que tu fais +ou - tous les jours.
profites en bien...
car c est bientot le retour a la vie normale pour toi...plus que 3 petits jours de traitement, un peu de repos (encore!!!) par dessus et tu seras enfin parmi nous.
tu nous manque beaucoup a meribel et nous avons beaucoup trinqué a ta santé l autre soir a "l en k". demande a Zoé C, elle te le dira...
une derniere chose avant de te laisser lire tout ce message en francais, ne t inquiete pas de l apparence physique et exterieur, ce qui compte c est ce que l on peut trouver a l interieur...et je sais que le tien est plein de generosite, de courage, de passion et source d inspiration pour nous tous, enfin surtout pour moi.
merci Ali de ton blog et meme si l'inspiration pour ecrire te manque un peu, c est pas grave a partir du moment ou l'on recoit des news positives de toi.
i hope it wasn t too hard for you to translate and understand but because you are very soon with us i thought it was important to refresh...
aAli, passe une tres bonne journée, je suis ravie de savoir que ca va un peu mieux aujourd'hui et je suis sure que ca ira de ùmieux en mieux durant ces prochains jours et semaines.
gros baisers a partager avec toute ta famille et jeannett.
a bientot

Hello mate,
Love Gaelle's message in French, that will get that grey matter working. Well what a day yesterday 3 nil to the Arsenal and now this week only 3 to go. You take care we'll be thinking shrink and the rest will do itself,

Here's one more visualisation for you mate. Mr tumor is sitting high up on a big open alpine face just below a gazex tube. Out comes the blast from the tube and smashes Mr T to pieces, the avalanche that follows then carries all the little pieces far down the slope and over a cliff, landing to be buried forever.
4 to go mate and then it'll be buried forever.

Ali,

Great day out yesterday mate, even if i didnt get to enjoy that fine Harrod's food like you did! John's hospitality was amazing, please thank him again when you next speak to him.
The mighty gunners march on, just like your doing.
Speak later - Think Shrink as always.

Love Fatnick.

souds like you had a great day yesterday mate, glad to hear it. Get loads of rest and recharge for these last few zappings. I'm visualizing this last push like the bit in 300 when king leonidis kicks the messenger down the massive hole, YOU ARE SPARTA!! (if you haven't seen it then you won't have a clue what I'm on about haha)
looking forward to seeing you again, all the best. Tim

Three more to go Ali - so glad to hear you are having such a great weekend despite our awful English weather. I just keep looking at the webcams in Courchevel and can't help but wishing I was there as I'm sure you are too. The Courchevel Gappy's are in high spirits after passing their BASI 1 on Friday. Stay strong Ali - you are an absolute inspiration to us in so many ways. Don't forget to watch your pal GB on Ski Sunday tonight. It petrified me skiing next to him at MK - he's such a legend - like you! Thinking Shrink for you this week from the Edwards Family

Ali - only 3 more left - whaahey! Been thinking shrink for you and knowing that your smile will still be beaming even if your cheeks are a bit puffy! Wish I could think of something inspirational to say- but just so you know thinking of you and still wowed by your strength.

Love

Jo
