Its been ages....

Well it has been ages since I last posted. Life seems to be dragging its normal way although we have had a couple of warm spring like days recently, however true to form its now turned much colder again. I was very happy last night. I do not remember if I have mentioned it on here but I follow Brighton & Hove Albion football club and last night we beat Dagenham 4-3 so that we have reached 90 points and are promoted to the Championship next season. We also move in to a brand new stadium at Falmer in July so things are looking good! I have also been very concerned about a proposal by the BBC to replace most output of there local radio stations with a relay of Radio 5. I realise that there are good and bad BBC local stations but in this area we are lucky to get BBC Kent which is one of the best. In the evening they broadcast 3 hours of the best radio around with Roger Day- its a brilliant show. The rest of the output is very good as well and the line up includes Dave Cash (DC on the BBC). Health wise everything is going well, well almost. My right hand and arm are swollen and having seen three doctors and taken three lots of treatment it is still no better. It seems to go down for a couple of days and than swells up again. The good news is that The Marsden did a scan on it and the lymph glands are all normal so its not a return of NHL. I managed to get a bargain pair of shoes on Amazon the other day. Since going through chemo my feet have become larger, I now take an EE fitting. I saw this pair at a sale price of £15 so I thought I would go for them. When I ordered them I got a discount of £10 so I have a new pair of shoes for £5 which I think is rather good value! Andy

It has been a while Andy. It's good to see an entry from you. Weird about your arm! I too put on weight during my chemo so I understand the happiness you feel at finding a bargain pair of shoes that fit. Well done to your local team too!
Thank goodness the tests results came through ok! That's a relief...yes?

I hope your arm gets sorted soon Andy - often not knowing the cause is as much of a concern as anything else. Those shoes were a good deal - but now given that your feet have grown - is it true that shoe size is an indicator of........ :O)))

:) I'm all for a bargain. You did well, shoes are the worst item of clothing to fit right.

Thanks for dropping in to my Blog. Yes, I have been following you for a long time!! I usually read and often comment on your but seem to have missed this one. Hope the arm is settling down. As for spreading feet, I think it's an age thing I've suffered it too lol. x
