Hi,
Even though I feel life has sometimes got it in for me at times, when a really nice day comes along, where everything has gone just right, it really does raise your spirits.
Tuesday was one such day. I took my wife for a drive in the beautiful Berkshire countryside, her first trip out in 10 weeks (she's having to shield) and stopped to do some pictures when we found an incredible field of poppies. She loved it and the fresh air did her a power of good.
When we arrived home, I had a phone call from my surgery, giving me the results from a Diabetes test I had last week. I've been classed as Pre-diabetic for several years and in view of my love of chocolate and all things sweet, especially when I feeling miserable and I'm in a "what the hell, I going to die from my cancer anyway" mood, I was convinced they would tell me I was now Diabetic. To my surprise, they told me that my figures had come down almost to the point where I was no longer classed as being pre-diabetic anymore. Wow such a relief.
Then, half an hour later, I had my Oncology consultation (via telephone) where she told me that my recent PSA test came back as 3.40, a fall from my last test where it was 4.30! I was so pleased that I celebrated with a can (or two) of lager in the evening.
A perfect day!
Steve
