Haha.......ok a day for some smiles.
My dear wife and I have decided that whichever way these unwanted journeys that we are now on, take us, they will NOT get us down no matter what.
We will spit in it's eye and laugh and joke till the cows come home. I'm determined that the last thing to leave my body will be my sense of humour !!
So...... if you are of a certain age, you may have heard of the horror/wonder-drug called Thalidomide. It caused devastating birth defects in the late 60's and early 70s, when it was prescribed to pregnant women to ease morning sickness. I think it's use in USA was quickly stopped, before the rest of the world. However, it is now a very effective drug used in the fight for some cancers, and is part of my treatment.
You have to take very serious control on the storage and handling of the stuff to take home and of course, no intimacy......
You have to sign legal forms etc.
As I live and am being treated in Wales, you may know that Wales is a big 'sheep country' and of course the standard jokes about lonely farmers abound......
A few years ago, an old IAP friend gifted me a naughty T shirt that I wore to my second treatment visit yesterday. ( Thanks D
) I told the treatment nurses that it was showing my commitment and seriousness of using Thalidomide.....
It got a good laugh from them and I'm pleased to say that several of my fellow sorry comrades in the treatment room also had a smile or two.
Even some that are obviously in a bad way....
Anyway, here's the pic. Apologies for the shaky hands. It says.... Baaaaa Means No !!!!!
Thanks again D
