I have been away from this ship for too long. No real excuses but Billy has had shingles for 6 weeks. He is left handed and the nerve pain is in his left arm. I now know how much he does for me when he is well, 6 weeks of watching him either sleeping( strong meds) or being in constant pain when awake has meant he could do nothing. So trying to run the business, do all the driving, gardening, cooking and being a nurse has been quite a challenge. He actually said the the perforated appendix some years ago and all the chemo he had were easier to cope with than the past few weeks. The pain has reduced him to tears! However I am hoping he has turned the corner as he managed to mow the lawn on Wednesday and yesterday we went out for lunch with my daughter to celebrate my Birthday.
The good news is that he saw his consultant this week for his 4 month check up and all his blood results were good, still on the clinical trial so back in October. God bless our N
