Its Friday & all is fine

It was perfectly normal for Phil to feel anxious before his first radiotherapy session but there was no need for worry, he was fine.  We had a bit of a panic when we set off from home and discovered that the M1 was at a standstill in both directions but we’d left plenty of time so we went the back way.  I was going to drop Phil off at the radiotherapy building but as we had time, we decided to try car park 5 just in case there were any spaces and we were in luck and got a parking space straight away.

We did think the unit was running late but we got seen by Debra, the senior radiologist almost straight away which was good because Phil had a full bladder and was desperate to empty it.  Obviously I couldn’t go in the room with him so I sat in the waiting room, but I didn’t have to wait long, he was out in about 15 minutes, already zapped.  He was smiling which I took as a good sign and on the way to the car, he said he really liked the radiotherapy team and felt that they knew what they were doing.  I was relieved and I guess so was he.  The radiology team have slightly changed all of his appointments for the next 8 weeks but it actually suits us better; his appointments are in between 3.50 and 5.50pm.  Yesterday’s zapping also went smoothly, so 2 down and only 35 to go!

Now for some more cheerful news; Adam from Prestige called yesterday to say after 2 viewings that have found a tenant that wants to move into the OB flat which is excellent.  It was only Tuesday that we gave the instruction; we saw that it was on the rightmove website yesterday which generated in viewings and hey presto we are let.  On Saturday afternoon, we will go in plane the doors and rehang them so they can shut, stick fablon around the boxing in the toilet, have a clean-up and then our work there will be finished. Thank god!

I’m afraid I have to make this blog short today, as in a minute I need to fly over to Caldecotte to wait on the kitchen delivery from Wickes.  It took many phone calls yesterday to find out what my window was and to be honest I am not sure it will come when they say it will.  But I have no choice but to wait until it does.  I have my packed sandwiches and some milk for tea, the radio will keep me company and there is a stack of stuff to whilst I wait.  As always, never a dull moment or a lazy one for that matter. Have a good weekend everyone.
