any more news from linda ?

anybody heard anything from linda yet xxxxx

I've not heard anything - not seen her anywhere else either - lets hope no news is good news, and they are just recovering from their last journey and that all is still on track for John's recovery xxxxx

luv n hugs to them both xxx

I haven't heard anything either. It's been a hard time for them and all the extra traveling won't help. I'm sure she will be on when she's ready.

YEA BABS YOUR RGT SHE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE WHEN SHE IS READY XXXXX

I'm back ! We're both absolutely exhausted but ok. John has had a hard time of it, he's really wiped out form Boeing off his thyroid tablets for a month, and the treatment itself. Hs been down the doctors today as he's picked up a chest infection and is also feeling very sick. He was getting injections in his stomach for the sickness when he was in he hopsital, but obviously those have stopped now, so hope the tablets from the dr can sort him out. I'm just worn out from all the travelling and the stress, but was back at work today, had to show willing !
We have been told John has two areas of uptake, so hopefully the radio-iodine will " seek and destroy " the ************ cells and that will be an end to it. It won't be until December that they will scan him again, and so have been told we can go on our hols all being well and they will see us again when we are back.
Poor John must be glowing in the dark, he's not allowed near any children or pregnant women for three weeks, and can't have his hair cut for three weeks either.
We had a few problems coming home on the boat, the hopsital had booked us in the Premium lounge which is normally nice and quite..... But because it is the start of the Manx Grand Prix bike races, the boat was heaving and the premium loung was full of kids. We explained that we couldn't stay there and John showed them his "yellow card" explaining his treatment and eventually they moved us to the Exectutive lounge! You can't even buy a ticket to sit in there it's so bloody exclusive, members only, by annual subscription! Anyhow we were shown through to this beautiful lounge with panoramic windows all round and about 75 reclining leather seats, sofas table etc, a vast space, with just 2 people in it....how the other half live! Anyhow we had a comfortable crossing being waited on hand and foot by the stewards, while the rest of the boat was like a cattle truck, we were very lucky!
So that's where we are now, still playing a waiting game, but at least we have a break now, have finally chucked all our suitcases, hold alas, backpacks etc back out of sight in the cupboard under the stairs for a while, so glad to see back of them all !
Onwards and upwards now, just hope the pills kick in for John soon and he gets his strength back, thatnk you all for your love and support ! Xxxxx

All good huni, all good No wonder you are both exhausted (despite the Executive lounge - now you know what royalty feels like lol) .... anyway, I diverse - you need to have some quiet "us" time and get a grip on what used to be normality in your house - poor John'd semi exclusion from the rest of the world might actualy just do you a favour and stop lots of visitors beating a path to your door untill you have had time to rest up. Its excellent news that you will be able to go on your "extra special" cruise too - and something for John to aim for. I'm sure he will still have good and bad days, and you will both worry if something falls outside of what you are expecting to happen - but trust in whoever has been watching over you all this time, and the path to wellness will get easier as you walk along it together.
Keep smiling huni - you have done REALLY WELL Sending you both continued loving support, and you know where I am if you ever need me lovey Love n hugs xxxxxxxxxxx

It's lovely to hear from you Linda, it's been a drain on both your systems and a nice cruise will be much welcome me thinks. I do hope the tablets work for John it's awful feeling sick all the time poor man. He has been through so much and I am so pleased he is responding to his treatment. You my dear friend have been his rock and have been through so much with him. Nice that you got some peace and quiet on your journey home, now that you have a rest from running backwards and forwards you will be able to breath again and plan your much needed holiday.Sending you both much needed (((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))
