I wanted to get it out on the day and I wasn't sure whether I would have been inclined to tackle it later in the evening. I'm feeling about the same today as I did yesterday Jenny.

I couldn't believe it.<br /><br />Anyway, our minds were working in a similar way and, yes, Day 1000 has come and gone Pet. I've been looking at the note I was handed when the treatment ended. It does sound as though I might be feeling the effects of the radiotherapy for quite a few weeks. Perhaps I'll be one of the lucky ones. In the meantime thank you for your good wishes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-74615346802106826482013-07-24T22:04:24.953+01:002013-07-24T22:04:24.953+01:00Fancy 'Nothing Really Matters' sticking in...<br />Fancy 'Nothing Really Matters' sticking in your mind, when it could so easily have been 'Scaramooche, Scaramooche.

I'm having such a good time'<br /><br />Like Mitch said it's hard to believe its 1000 days. Good on ya Charlie.

I hope it isn't too long before you feel some relief.<br /><br />It is hard to believe a thousand days have already passed, it seems like only recently you told us of your diagnosis.<br /><br />Enjoy your celebration, you deserve it.

Hmmmn, kicked in the buttock by a donkey, eh? Well, I've been kicked in the thigh by several horses at different times and that was very definitely not a comfortable experience, so I hope it all settles down rapido. You sound a little down in this blog post, Charlie. Like as though you're completely fed up to the back teeth with going in to that flipping hospital every few days - and who could blame you. Maybe you can take all the good wishes that are coming your way on this your thousandth day and use them to carry your spirits up to that punching the air place that a thousand days is worth. Celebrations? I should say so. :D Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-44319650482084455572013-07-24T17:03:46.581+01:002013-07-24T17:03:46.581+01:00I've been waiting for the "Man of the tho...I've been waiting for the "Man of the thousand days" post for ... well, almost 1000 days! I'm afraid that I have the movie "Anne of a Thousand Days" stuck in my head, so it just stood to reason that you would be similar in title.<br /><br />I hope that you will feel improvements from the treatment, Charlie. And enjoy the celebration.Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508765596478858195noreply@blogger.com
