A mastectomy

She needs a mastectomy and they are investigating if she has the cancer in her other breast which might lead to a full mastectomy. So far she has been very brave and is facing it with great grit and composure long may it reign.
Lisa is depressed to think its all going to affect her own life and I am contemplating taking time out of my life to be available and its all a bit reluctant which in its turn is sad and depressing.
To be honest it all feels a bit remote and its not difficult to forget and just get on with life and then you remember that she is about to undergo a horrible and maiming procedure. I've said that when they find out when she is due to go for surgery I'll try and arrange a visit. It would be slightly weird if this does coincide with the dates I've booked on my train ticket...bigger things than we realise at work me thinks.

Right now I have Ed Milliband on the news making his first speech to the labourn party. It seems odd seeing this new generation taking over from Blair and Brown. I hate to say it but they seem too young. I remember thinking that all politicians were all old men and now I have reached the time in my life when they now seem too young!! Horible but at the same time quite comfortable as well. I don't think that our new Ed has quite the power of being able to make a good speech like Tone had or even Gordon really.

Had a lovely weekend with Chris and Fiona coming down on Saturday and saw all their 500 china photos. Then off to Cambridge for a tapas with our Phil to celebrate his birthday and dessert at the Copper Kettle. A nice night not spoilt by drunken rampages as Chris and Fiona went home the same night. Next day we all sat in watchig films whilst the rain came down outside and then a meal with Phil at De Luca a lovely Italian again in Cambridge...we must stop spending money on meals out as we are living way beyond our means.
Right off to cook tea and take an echania tablet as I can feel a cold coming on and I put it off a while ago with the drug.
