October 11th, 2007
hi all
today has been a good one. acupunct this morn then massage then lunch, take away macaroni curry plus spagetti bolog. and a cake each. then physio. Shelagh was pleased to find her grip of left hand has improved a lot since physio started. then shopping and back to Hosp. for tea and red wine (Chile) cab sav very good at $6 compared to Aussie wine at $20+. Managed to get on line very quickly so rushing this thruogh while can. Tommorow we are promised fast and reliable internet service so may be able to update more often. Tommorrow is a very busy day with the usual dose of acu, mas, phys and 2nd injection of s/cells. all the nurses and doctors are courteous and helpful and the Beike rep Tony one of the best. Ive done a lot of Xwords to pass the time during therepy sessions.

Hello!! Its fantastic to hear that you have already noticed an improvement in your grip Shelagh, hopefully this is the first of many improvements for you on your road to recovery.
Cant say that the food sounds overly appetising though!! Macaroni curry!!?? At least you can have a nice glass of wine to wash it down with!
Its lovely to read the words of support for you both from everyone that loves you, wishing you both well and sending lots of love.
Love Michelle and Karl and Bomber too!! x x x

G’day to both of you…have been keeping up with all the news. You seem to have settled in ok, and sorry to hear that there is pain associated with the treatment – as someone else said that is the way of hospitals! Although I put a little bit more your way…speed reading does it to you…I read thump and immediately thought “gosh, he thumped you on the back” then I re read it!!!!
Off to Rosies 70th tomorrow, I expect we will be having some red – Aussie Shiraz. We’ve had a few from Chile they are quite nice but boy, they are cheap up there. You’ll have to send some home. Anyway, thinking of you both xx

Hi Mum and Dad,
Will make this a quick one as the blog reliability seems to be quite variable…….
Great to hear there’s improvement Mum, and that you’re clearly coping quite well with all the treatments that are going on.
Not sure if you’ve been getting our emails (and photo’s x 3) – if the internet connection’s been down for you can u txt me so we can send stuff via another way.
Great to hear all the comments from everyone – lovely to see the support and love to you both from loads of people.
All is good here. See England got beaten by Russia in the Euro Champinships (18/10/07) – looks like another futile attempt at a campaign. At least they are in the final of the Rugby World Cup – and that is one sport we get coverage of in NZ on a very regular basis……
Keep the chin up – keep the tippling of the Chilean red up, and we’ll hear from you soon.
Love Richard, Angie, Willow, Frances and Madelaine xxxxx
