Hi everyone,
I have been neglecting my blog because I've been having too much fun and enjoying almost every minute of my week off.
Back to chemo next friday then its the next Friday then a week off then 2 more Fridays and then FINITO!!!!!! Roll on chemo free forevers and a holiday in Queensland!! the last four doses are going to be the hardest psychologically so I need to stay focused!!! I feel like saying NO MORE.
I have been feeling very well apart from a day of gut wrenching abdo pain caused by the side effects of my new anti nausea drugs (the ones I've been raving about!!! Oh well. I survived but it was a bit grim at the time.) I'll just have to be even more careful next time.
I have been cooking, walking, catching up with friends, reading books, watching the West Wing and generally enjoying every day. My kids start holidays next Friday and unfortunately this coincides with my next 2 chemo's. I'm sure they will still enjoy having a break from school and being able to chill out for awhile even if mum is not quite up to racing around.
I hope you are all surviving winter and having a nice time. I'd love to get some feedback on ideas for what you think I should do with myself when my treatment finishes.
So farI am thinking:
Write my life story for my kids
just write something and see what it turns out to be
Make a bird bath out of pottery
Join a drama group
find a life purpose (if anyone has one please let me know what it is!! Maybe I could pinch it!)
Any ideas most appreciated.
Off to lunch...... catch up soon.
Love
Pauline
xxxxx

You should write a play. You've described to me at different times at least two perfect tableau from which to shape a drama. One was a who-dunnit set behind the anonymous rustle of hospital curtains, and the other was set at Gawler, the prostate table and the gynea table, failing to eye each other off ex-libido, but sharing a fierce determination to live.
Think Joanna Murray-Smith and Hannie Rayson -two local girls made good. Think of the advantages of writing which is entirely dialogue-driven: none of that boring descriptive crap...
Best of all, think Alan Bennett and the History Boys: his great loving embrace of human foibles; the way he juggles laughter and despair, the high-minded and the low-minded, great joy and great sorrow, tragedy and farce...
The play's the thing, Pauline. I'm sure you've got a few in you.
