Hi everyone,
I guess I must be slightly demented or in total denial but I'm actually looking forward to getting another dose of the chemo under my belt. There's so much anticipation (OK then dread) that its actually a relief when its finally here and I can put another milestone on my path to recovery behind me.
I had the PIC line inserted today and I am very relieved to have it over and done with . The doctor who inserted it was one of those types who can't actually speak and work at the same time ..... so lots of LONG silences and then finally from me "SO ARE YOU IN? ANY PROBLEMS?"Needless to say I received a monosyllable grunt that he HAD been in but was in no longer and would just have to start again ..... the guide wires fault not his own!!! Thank god I am such a nice person (not!!) . I think a couple of words such as this is what I am doing and this is how it is going wouldn't be too hard for a trained radiologist. However it is in and hopefully tomorrow I can get my drugs quicker and without the nurses lining up to have a TRY!!
A couple of other reasons why I am in such a ridiculously good mood despite the fact that my darling Greg has managed to totally incapacitate himself running to catch the train to see the Bombers play at the MCG yesterday resulting in a seriously as in non weight bearing sprained ankle is the following:
I have become addicted to Grey's Anatomy and have about 100 episodes to go. I was watching today at the Austin to see which doctors were having sex with each other or the nurses but for some strange reason I didn't pick up any UST (that's unresolved sexual tension if your not up on the Grey's Anatomy total plot plus sub plot)
I have been to a Body Psychotherapist the wonderful George in Elwood and I can add this to my latest list of cancer cures ... lets see David's chicken soup now Body Psycho therapy!! I wonder if I should publish? I have never felt so totally relaxed (I guess I was hypnotised ) and I had a wonderful vision of an endless stream of black balloons leaving my body with all my negative emotions and past hurts, disappointments, resentments and all that sort of stuff. It was great!!
Can't think of anything else apart from all of you .... my great friends and family who have made me feel so loved and special . Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love from
Pauline

Pauline, sounds dire but glad to see you have an outlet through whatever show that is that you are watching. Just to update you on the PCs. We have been searching high and low for them but they are exceedingly rare (which might account for David's parsimony when dishing them out). However, I have emailed the makers and have explained our plight. They have emailed me back and will be sending me some packs gratis in order to help you feel better. You may have to fight David for them and don't let Ellie know you are getting them. Anyway, I need to go and watch that other great medical drama, House, now. Take care. Love from us all in London

Pauline, having just got back (well 10 days ago now) from Vietnam I can assure you chicken soup, Jewish or Vietnamese is a great cure-all. Has Liz told you how much I loved The Transit of Venus, even if it is sad and bleak in the end, the writing was superb and charecters were fabulous. I read it all the way from Hoi An to Nha Trang - nine hours on the Reunification Express - a train journey which I do not recommend for anyone whatever the state of their health. I have got a few pirated DVD's - nothing as classy as Grey's Anatomy though, Olivia chose them so we have Lost, The OC oh and Scrubs a medical comedy which I think you would love!. Great photos of you and your children. By the way prayers have been said at St Joseph's in Hanaoi and last Saturday at Temple Beth Israel, my friend's daughter's bat Mitzvah. Let me know if your up for visitors or an outing.
Love mary-Anne
Don't know about chicken soup but the goulash and dumplings that they serve here aren't bad. Saints are looking a bit dodgy this year.... Demons even worse..
Thinking about you...love from Prague

Dear Pauline,
I so love your witty publications and ruminations!
UST --- have to use that one tho not sure when or where!
I love reading these comments from far afield -- unfortunately down the road and round the corner in Alphington is no where near as sexy as Prague, Vietnam or the UK!
PS. I loved seeing you up and about this week with a smile on your face and looking fabulous so quickly after another ordeal!
Keep those positive affirmations flowing baby!
Sorry to hear Greg is suffering -- our well wishes for a speedy ankle recovery!
Love from Lucerne
(mmm... we could be o/s if I delete the word Cres and Alphington)
