Late February, 2010
Maybe when you catch up with this news, I’ll have started radiotherapy treatment for a quite recently discovered tumour.
I shall be going back and fore to Raigmore Hospital, Inverness to have this treatment and so will see a lot of Janet and her husband Stewart – Janet is Dolan’s sister.
Ruah will travel with me and probably have her little legs walked off, as Janet often has her daughter’s collie Midge staying and is used to rather more energetic exercise than is my little Ruah!
When Ruah is on the move, Sponge will be in charge of Heron’s Flight (as he usually thinks he is anyway!) – and its newly mended kitchen and sitting room. Yes, the water damage will shortly and finally be a thing of the past, after months and months of waiting.
After the radiotherapy there will be a gap of several weeks, before I have an op. to remove the tumour. And I hope that will be the end of treatment, as two specialists have assured me that the prognosis is excellent. Isn’t that good news!
Since learning all this, I’ve decided that I won’t be taking any guests in 2010. That makes me very sad, but I am unsure as to how I’ll be feeling with hospital visits and lots of travelling. Many of you know how I really do not like trekking to Inverness normally – so the next while will be a test of my patience, if nothing else!!
I can’t be making firm plans and do not want to disappoint any potential guests – however I will look forward immensely to meeting you in the future.
I’ll talk to you soon again…….
Best wishes
Ann
