Sad News

Not a blog entry I ever wanted to make and I've no doubt been long forgotten since I've not been on here for a long time. I apologise for that. I've been so busy and I miss boating and to be honest keeping away from it has helped me not yearn for it more so I have not ignored this place on purpose, more for my own reasons.

Anyway, I...

Hi all,

Well, an update from me. Our old boat has been spotted around, so looks like she is being well used and loved. I miss her every day. Still not quite got my head around not having a boat, but have adjusted to land life in a 'have to do this so get on with it' kind of way because otherwise I would get depressed with not being on a...

Well folks, our lovely bright red sploosh boat has been sold. I am a mixture of sadness and happiness really. It was the marina open day this weekend, and we were worried it would be a wash out. The weather was very wet on Saturday morning and everyone looked a bit down. The marina had asked all the boat owners to come down and basically show off...

Well folks after 3 long months, my father is dinally home. I can't believe it!

He's come through some life saving surgery, several bowel perforations, CDiff, chest infections, going into shock from his own body poisoning him, you name it, he's survived it. It's amazing! The cancer is there obviously, but things are looking...

Wow, can't believe it has come to this. I was talkng to hubs about the boat going up for sale. We have put so much into making her our home, and now we are going to have to say good bye. Mick said he has come to terms with it so the emotional attachement is not there as it is with me. I feel very numb at the moment, the thought of having to...

Well, first an update on dad. After a few days in hospital on a peg feed he perked p. When I saw him he was sitting up, talking with a hoarse voice and a little bit more cheerful than he had been.

However a couple of days later he suddenly went down hill and his heart, kidneys and lungs started shutting down. His body went into shock and they had...

Well, after my report of good news, now I get the bad.

Dad is getting worse. Last news was it was hopeful, not he has lost too much weight and hasn't eaten since Christmas. He got taken in yesterday because they feared another day with no food and water would mean they would have found him dead.

So in he went. The idea was that if he got to...

Stoney is off to dry land

Hello all,

Well, first things first. My father's test results came back and so far only one lymph node has been affected. this is good news, and hopefully the chemo and radiotherapy will kill it off and be done. We can be more hopeful as they caught it so early without it spreading.

The other news is we are moving back to dry land. I know,...

Christmas Cancer

2 Comments
3 years ago my father was diagnosed with cancer of the gullet. It started with him having trouble eating and swalloing, so because he had years of stomach ulcer battles, we thought it was something to do with that. They can rupture, it hurts, it causes issues.

So being the helpful nagging women that we are, my mum, sister and I all nagged dad to...
