Day 2 of treatment

Second day and a bit exhausting! Could have been because we stopped off at North Sydney to visit Hungry Jacks for onion rings - it's worse than being pregnant!

However, starting from next week, community transport are kindly going to pick us up each day.  We will continue to walk home to keep up the much needed exercise mainly to keep Alan's legs strong as one of the drugs causes the thigh muscles to weaken, but also to counteract all the cups of coffee we seem to be stopping for on the excuse of a rest!

Another bit of good news is that Vision Australia have fast tracked our appointment for assessment so we will be able to learn about the aids available to assist with reading and the computer.  When they spoke to Alan on the phone they asked if he could make a cup of tea, he replied yes.  They then asked  if he over filled the cup, he replied yes I must have put in too much milk!

We had an early Fathers Day treat last night with a trip to China Republic with Jill and Alistair for Peking Duck and have another one to look forward to with David and Jenny - can't wait for that one as David is working on perfecting sour dough bread and grilled scampi in his Pizza oven - watch this space.

Our grandchildren are spoiling us rotten with gifts of lollies for Alan and wine for me both gratefully received.  Thank you.

We are overwhelmed with everyone's good wishes and thank you again for caring.
