The Retirement Thread

Despite the dire weather forecast I'm just back from a sunny walk. The sky is beginning to cloud over but it's still dry for now.

Despite the dire weather forecast I'm just back from a sunny walk. The sky is beginning to cloud over but it's still dry for now.

I’m wondering if I could squeeze in another short walk before the rain arrives. It is getting a bit cloudy now.

Well the rain has arrived

looking at weather radar it looks like it will be here for a while and get heavier

I think SWMBO has a hair appointment this afternoon
and, due to the rain, a ride is out - I have been avoiding riding and walking for a few days due to a problem with my foot/ankle
riding might be OK but looks like I won;t find out until tomorrow!

Well we won't have to water the plants today that's for sure.

We have hazy sun, but it's a lot cooler at only 20c
Back on the pies this morning, 6 chicken and stuffing, lovely with pickles for a quick snack

Back home!

Released last night for another home stay before cycle 3 (of 4) chemo.

Been in hospital for 10 weeks out of the last 13, so far.

Nice to be home but disorientating, tbh.

Tablet regime is crazy; each day is 13 different tablets and one injection (Mrs SD's job).

Have a good day all.

WoW.......I was on 5 different tablets and thought that was a lot.

Spent an hour in my workshop and made a cable bird caging tool.
Used for splaying cable ends before soldering nipples on.
Commercial ones cost around £140.
This one cost me nothing apart from an enjoyable hour tinkering.

Aferris, hope you got yer birthday ride in.

Honestly, Dave, I have no idea what they are all for. And tbh I cba to look them all up. I am just trusting the Consultant on this one.

My daughter is 'into' all this medical jargon and would constantly remind me of what they are and why I take them.
I am down to 2 now plus I have just been on a 3 day booster course for low magnesium.

We have arrived at the far north.
A quick cup of tea and then into town, a ten minute stroll.

A phone call from the Bowel Cancer Specialist earlier today. The biopsy on my large polyp has shown as benign tissue. I wasn't overly concerned but to get the all clear is a relief.

I'll be called for another colonoscopy in three years. I'll happily go every year for the same result! 👍

Important day for those with dry butts or allotments.
