Monday, 19th January

We had a fabulous weekend spent with very special friends and have to say that Jimmy thoroughly enjoyed his 'send off'.  It was lovely to see everyone so pleasantly surprised with how well Jimmy is looking and doing.




So...the big day has arrived.  We have to be at UCTPAH at 8am tomorrow and Jimmy goes into theatre at 10am to have his Hickman line put in.  Originally he was going to be admitted to high care and then to F4 Isolation ward on Wednesday but they phoned this afternoon to tell us about the change in time and that he will go directly to F4 tomorrow.  We will also have a whole educational thingy explaining all the do's and don'ts in the morning.

A big thank you to everyone for the phone calls and lovely messages of well wishes.  It's going to feel very strange in this house for a while.  Jimmy and I have been joined at the hip for the last 9 months.

Guppy and Diane,
Thanks so much for your well wishes. Yes, we had a lovely 2 week break and it really did Jimmy the world of good to get out the house and away from everything. It was so nice to not have to think about cancer! I feel it in my bones that this treatment is going to work and we are both looking forward to getting back to normal after these treatments.

Hi Vivienne, just a short note to say thank you for keeping us all in the know about Jimmy's treatment, and to wish him everything that is good with his upcoming treatment, trusting all will go well, and that we'll get to see more pics of Jimmy's huge smile once more!
I should rummage through my pics and send you a few of our days in the Safmarine!
