Update/Spike the cat.

Good old Spike, since my operation, he has not been too far away from me when I got discharged..
Have woken up during the night with some pain and the cat is lying right beside me.
Something has to be said that animals know when their owners are suffering.

He is an awesome boy ......
Gotta love your animals at times like this.

UPDATE - Had a interview with Oncology Specialist on Wednesday afternoon.
We went through the range of chemo that would be administered, the side effects etc.

I need to put more weight on as in the last 1 1/2 years I have lost 30 kg in weight.
I had completely lost my appetite for any food and are learning to more or less eat again.
The more I eat, the better I will feel. This is a slow process but am determined to get better week by week.

Specialist advised more steak sandwiches.

Thanks to everybody for all your good wishes as this is very much appreciated.
But my biggest thanks goes to my beautiful wife Teen who has been by my side since day one.

I love you baby ...........  <3 p="">

HOSPITAL FOOD

Hospital food can make you feel ill,
It's only good for the pigs to swill.

From the yellow tinged spuds to the so called fish,
It's like eating poison and toxin with every dish.

The egg on toast resembles a mat on the floor,
If you drop it, you watch as it bounces out of the door.

Some people eat this crap with no remorse,
While most of us throw up at the very first course.

The food should be made local and with love,
Add some seasoning to make this edible by jove.

Fresh water is served in cheap plastic jugs,
You can taste the plastic with every sip.

It's very core is tasteless and bland,
But all the suits think it's just grand.

To manufacture this junk from two locations,
Is to hand-clap and back-slap these innovations.

Hospital food should make us better and well,
The politicians and DHB Board can all go to hell !!!
