Day Four - Rain and more rain!

It is day four and awake at my usual just past six o clock, rushing for the drugs and then dozing until 9.05 fantastic!

It is day 4 and last night intense burning pain is slowly going away from the tonsil area. You read and speak to people about adult illnesses you should of got as a child, mumps, tonsils out, wisdom teeth out, chicken pox, and they say "oh its much worse as an adult" I am sure they say with glee as they were a sickly child and had all the ailments under the sun and now know you will suffer 15 times the pain they did! I suspect they are the sort of people you would find at the front of witch bonfire complaining that "witches need so much help to burn these days"

I am sorry to say the witch burners are right! Bring on the witches I here you say!

Today is support day, I have contacted FORCE a cancer charity in Exeter who have just opened a fantastic charity support centre in the grounds of the RD&E hospital at a cost of �G900k raised by local charities, yes local charities. I must admit there is something obsence about a country that spends �G3 billion pounds removing a ruler of a country under a false and illegal premise, but forces charities to raise funds for health support services that should of been provided out of the �G3 billion pounds. Sorry being political but the point I make is a no brainer when you consider this week a 9 year old died in Great Ormond Street Hospital because there were no funds available!

I am off to the FORCE relaxation therapy session tomorrow, 12-1 which I am looking forward to, and on hand there are counsellors and complimentary therapies which alas there is a waiting list but at least I am on the bus and with a ticket.

The phrase "on the bus and with a ticket" is my latest buzz phrase because that is where I am. I have a chance, I am on the life bus and have a ticket, last week many were denied entry to that bus given bad news, and not allowed a ticket, it is for me to safeguard that ticket and keep the bus rolling!

Keep attacking!

When you're having a black day you have to remember all those things you still want to do in your life. The cottage on the coast of Cornwall with the big wooden table in the kitchen and the roaring log fire. You have also got 2 little people that love their daddy to bits and although I've never met them I'm sure they are wonderful. Think of them and I'm sure you will feel much better
