I fired off an email to friends and family last night pointing them to this blog for updates. (I'm figuring that's probably why you are reading this now)
Thanks for all the replies offering help, support and warm wishes. They are greatly appreciated by both Sarah and myself.
A few people have asked if Sarah is coming with me. She will be travelling to Germany about two weeks behind me. That was my idea, she wants to be with me the entire time.
I think I'll be more relaxed initially if I am by myself. Later when I'm recovering Sarah will come over and bring me home, plus we can have a few days to ourselves sightseeing if I'm up to it.
I had another bout of back pain last night, my system seems to be flawed. I added 2 Ibuprofen to the 2 panadol and 2ml of Morphine and I was asleep and pain free in about 30 minutes. I'll try that again tonight and see if it's the magic bullet this time.
I've lost a lot of weight since having radiation treatment in March and have put none of it back on. In fact I've lost some more. One of the symptoms of HL is weight loss so no surprises there.
For the first time since I was 16 I now weight under 70kg.
I told Sarah I wanted to buy some new clothes and so I dragged her off clothes shopping yesterday. (Now how many straight guys have ever written that line!)
She kicked up a fuss and said I had plenty of clothes and that I'd grow back into them once I got back. I insisted I wanted some new gear for the trip to Europe and to impress the nurses.
Murray had bought me some stylish new jeans and a shirt as a gift while he was in Belgium, so I wanted to buy a couple of tops and a shirt to go with them.
Had to laugh.. When I got home Sarah insisted I try them on, then when she saw how good I looked compared to the baggy rags I'd been wearing she insisted I wear my new clothes all night so she could appreciate me before the nurses did.
