BRIGHTSIDE.

So here it goes.. its official I have no luck! I'd been looking forward for several weeks that I was going to "find your sense of tumour" and I was nearly there I just had one more day with a top up of blood and a boost of platelets but no it wasn't going to be that simple and I ended up with a temperature and now spending the weekend in The Royal Marsden. I was pretty gutted when i heard the dreaded "38" Any ALL patient will no what i mean, no matter what happens you always end up having about 5 day stay and anti-botics.

The Crib.

I got a bit emotional, luckily there was only a few nurse's about and they made me chuckle but I blame the fact I hadn't slept very well the night before as I've got the meanest and baddest of ulcers on the end of my tongue which for the last couple of nights has kept getting me up every few hours. Plus I'm just a big cry baby but I'm looking on the bright side though, I'm just going to think that I'm staying in a hotel as i do have my own room which is a bonus and I do get my meals brought to me which is very like room service and i have a en suite so if i just glam it up in my mind this could be a nice break away. Though i can't complain as i nearly ended up in my local A&E as the Marsden didn't have any beds for a while. I'm in the research ward and not exactly sure what there gonna do to me up here but I'm hoping they give me superhuman powers or something cool like that. If you see a giant green monster bouncing around the Sutton area it may be me.

The View from the penthouse.

I'm watching the clock for 9:30 as the coach will be leaving at this time and i have the perfect view to watch it leave I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not as i feel tempted to do a runner but being the good little patient i wont. I was thinking of video blogging the "find your sense of tumour" but now wont be possible so i might still try and do something over the next few days. I feel like I should use this time to be creative or make a video, so no doubt your see a few bits come your way this weekend. So I'm going to finish of by watching Jeremy Kyle, while i wait for my parents to bring me my bits and pieces and a nice visit from my Nan no doubt she will have a few funny stories to tell.

Take care and keep smiling.

I'm Cruising for a Bruising.

Hey peoples! I'm sitting here blogging in the Royal Marsden and stealing their wifi, I'm waiting for 2 units of platelets to prepare me for my Lumber puncture. As my counts are 29 and should be 50 its not the most pleasant of procedure's but its gotta be done. So I'm going to update you on my latest events I've had such a good weekend i finally got my new car which was provided by the Motability scheme which if you have a high rate disability allowance you can exchange for a nice new car. I know it sounds like I'm promoting it but i just think its such a good scheme for people who need travel. The Hospital is 40 minutes away from me but i know some people travel over 2 hours some days, not including traffic. I've linked it for anyone who might be interested.

MY NEW RIDE.

 I haven't drove for over 7 months, so getting back in the driving seat was a bit weird but felt oh so very good at the shame time.  I was a bit worried about driving again, and it didn't help when i got in the driving seat that two police cars pulled up behind me. Not exactly a good start but they drove of, took me a little while to get back in the swing of it. I drove all around and then me and Sarah went up all around the area I live so I could get back into the swing of things. I drove up the Hospital today no glitches or accidents so it was all good. I've missed the silly things like singing my heart out with the radio full blast and having the freedom to drive when ever or wherever i like. So beware because I'm back on the road!

I'm currently plugged in to my first bag, got a hour or so till possible LP but no doubt take a few but I'm not to fussed as I'm pretty distracted by blogging. Also keep getting distracted by other things chatting away to people but its always nice to catch up and see everyone. Just chatting to a guy who's been to the "find your sense of tumour" the year before and says its a really good experience. So I'm really looking forward to going and pretty excited. Only a week or two to go! 

Take care and keep smiling!

Ickle Update.

Well ive been pretty lazy lately ive not blogged in a while because the plan was to video blog but the software i got to edit the videos isn't that great so its put me of and i tend to just use my ipod touch to browse the internet these days..  I know its a lame excuse and i should really get myself in gear.  The plan is to get myself a Mac laptop and then this will be a much easier process but they cost lots of pennies, so currently selling mystuff on ebay to help. The reason im blogging today is that my girfriend sent me a link to my facebook of a guy that has got ALL Leukemia  just like me and he is blogging about it, ive only read a few of his blogs but i really enjoyed the read and could relate to a few of things he was mentioning. I'll put a link below for those who are interested but defo worth checking out.

So not alot has happened lately im on a less intense course of treatment and been having a "hoilday" as such but still having a little chemo via tablet form and lumber puncture every four weeks. My treatment seems to be on track at the moment and everything is clear. *touches wood* I've been invited to a weekend away in Nottingham its a Cancer conference called "don't forget you sense of tumour" its something like that anyway but still very dodgy and took me 5 seconds to click when i was told. I still haven't decided wether to go but i think i will maybe it will be my first vlogging piece. =] So if i go i'll defo blog about it.

So me and my best friend Matt went to Birdworld which is only 40 mins away from me, was a really nice day out. It's a nice place if you haven't got much energy its nice to walk round and plenty of places to chill out. I found the parrots quite amusing as some of them can talk, well they can say "hello" and "Goodbye" but in a very gay tone or strangley like a woman it was very weird.

I've been to the cinema a few times, and i went tand saw The Kings Speech a very good film. I went with my Nan, i know rock 'n' roll but i don't see her very much because shes probley more social then any other person i know.. but i wouldnt want it any other way. The cinema was filled with old people which was strange cause id never seen that before thats what ya get when you go before 3 it was funny they all chatted through the adverts i thought i was gonna have more trouble, but luckly when the film started they all became silent or fell asleep im not sure.

So I'm of to Brighton this weekend with Sarah for a valentines get away and a nice break away from the cell i call my room. I can't wait to go on the waltzers and eat candy floss :) though i hope they have seats near the slot machines cause Sarah spends hours on the 2p machines.. im really looking forward to getting away.  Allthough i'll be spending valentines at the hosptial, Sarah will becoming with me I do take her to all the fancy places..

Anyways im of to go pack my bag for Gaytown. =]
Take care people and keep smiling.
