Moving Days

We're off to the new house today but not toally leaving Clic Housebehind. Due to hospital appointments and Bristol's traffic, it's not been easy to pick up all the things we've bought and been given via Freecycle.org in one day. So we've been building up to it.

Leo is very excited about having his own bedroom, but more so he can play on his own, I think. He keeps asking if I can sleep with him! We'll wait and see, shall we? The key thing is we'll be able to make meals without thinking about other people sitting down to eat just as our dinner is cooked! And we also will not have to compare stories about childhood cancer with others! After nearly three months at Clic House, it's so important for all of us that we have some normality ahead of a busy week next week and an even busier six weeks from Aug 11th.

A new Hickmann line is being put in on Tuesday then we're off to Surrey for the clinic appointment on Wednesday, going to my parent's in Henley for Wednesday and Thursday night so we can be back in Surrey again for planning and the shell to be made under a general anaesthetic on Friday. There's no point us driving all the way back to Bristol in between these appointments otherwise it will only add to our tiredness, I think.

Hopefully then, we'll be back on Friday in time for Leo to start his next cycle of chemo. This is the be confirmed, but may need to be put back 24 hours in order for the shell and planning to be completed in time for the radiotherapy to start.
