It’s been
difficult year, a not very good year and unfortunately I’m not in any of a
better situation. Originally being told 1-2 years and now 4 to 6 weeks. It
really makes you sit and think, of course it does. It isn’t human, it not sane
for us to hear language used like this, we’re humans we don’t talk about death,
we embrace life, constantly learning.
I have come
to terms with the facts of the liver failing slowly, the bleed on my bran and
fluid. I’ve accepted my outcome, this doesn’t mean I want it, or think single
mindedly this is how it’s meant to be. You never know I could be a very lucky
son of a gun and have the cure could and hopefully be around the corner but
till then, it’s the present which matters the most, not forgetting of course
the future. Don’t worry all my fingers and toes are definitely crossed, STAY
POSITIVE. Presently though I need to have priorities and that’s with my family,
the very little energy I do have needs to be focused on them. I’ve always tried
not to let anyone down and come across as honest (sometimes a little too
honest), trustworthy and reliable person but its taking all my energy out of me.
I want to spend the day with you, and hear everything you’ve got to say, you have
a problem, I want to make It better, but this is a message to say sorry, I can’t
anymore which kills me off more than the cancer.
I’m asking
you, and please don’t be offended just to give me some space over the next
month. I need the emptiness to, I don’t know, sign off my own bucket list
mentally… maybe? If that’s spending special moments with my family than that’s it.
I was always worried about writing this because you end up sounding like ungrateful
toss pot. You, yes you have made the last couple of months easier, you’ve made
me smile in dark times, you made me cry with happiness rather than tears of
sadness. You made me forget about being ill most importantly.
But, now
all I want is the normality of waking up and making it through the next 12
hours pain free which even now is more a challenge then it ever was.
So I’m
sorry If I don’t get back to you Facebook, via text or phone call, or meet you
in the pub next week but I simply haven’t got the energy anymore, physically or
mentally. I’ll try!
I hope you
understand.
Medical
update, I had to have 4 units, full body worth of blood transfusion to get me
back on track last weekend. Wasn’t the best, clinic is booked in for mid-December
to arrange an action plan or palliative care, who knows?
Thank to
everyone who’s been involved/attended mini festival & the wedding, it was
perfect. You me made so happy, so much positive energy. I love you for it.
If there
any major medical news I’ll update the blog, otherwise for now I’m signing off.
Peace out,
yours, Glaba.
