When I woke this morning Jon was already downstairs watching the football and the Grand Prix.
No more mice!!!
I showered and had breakfast and then it was time to go out to the hospital to see the chemo consultant. She is really pleased with Jon and laughed and asked if we thought he was taking a placebo drug due to the lack of side effects! Both the consultant and the nurse are really pleased with how he is doing. We wonder if it has something to do with how fit he was before all this started and maybe all the hours spent in the gym have been more beneficial that we ever thought. So, he has nine more sessions and that will be it. They say he should expect to still feel tired even when the treatment is finished but hopefully by the time we go to the UK he will be OK.
We got back and the football was at the penalty stage so we hadn't missed much! He then watched the end of the Grand Prix which was more exciting.
He left to go to Hamilton and I started on my housework but soon had a call from him to say he had left his iPad and he would not survive without that at the Lodge. He turned back and I drove over to meet him to hand it over and away he went again.
I spent the rest of the day doing my housework and managed to get all my washing dried out on the line. I took Tot for a long walk, well, I had to drag her she is so lazy and jumps at any noise or big lorry that she sees.
I had my dinner at 6.00 and wondered why Jon hadn't called as he usually calls around 5.30. I phoned his mobile when I had finished and it went to answer. I sent a text to ask if he was there yet? But still nothing. I was by now getting worried when eventually at 7.20 he phoned. He had got involved doing some work and making phone calls and didn't notice the time. To make matters worse he had turned his phone to silent when at the hospital and forgotten to turn it back on again.
He said he was fine and the road closure over the Kaimai Mountains this morning hadn't happened. We had read in the paper that they were doing some repairs on a dam up there and there would be closures and detours which would add to the journey so he left in plenty of time to get to his appointment. He saw all the detour signs but a lorry in front of him carried on so he followed. The lorry stopped to ask if it was open and was told it was so Jon went on up and had the road to himself which must have been nice on such a horrible road.
And that was our day nothing much happens on a Monday as I do my housework. I was pleased with myself as I managed to hook up my iPod to the TV speakers to listen to my music. I am usually happy with the radio but the station I like closed down on Friday and all the other stations talk so much and advertise and you don't get much music. I will have to start listening to BBC Radio 2 again.
