Thursday rocks round and I wake after a sound nights sleep. It seems that less drugs, exercises, and a nasal strip are making a difference. I let myself wake up slowly and take my vitals, which were okay. I decide to train again today originally thinking I would rest today. So I get up and get into my training gear, take my morning meds and head for the garage. It’s chilly today and the house heating has chipped in. I get on board the rower and decide to go for 45 minute session as I may not be able to train tomorrow. I get going and with my ears full of Radio 2 and keep going pretty well, in fact I row further than my other 45 minute sessions. It feels that deciding to go for 45 minutes was a good one.

So I end the session satisfied. A lunch of cereals follows which I eat watching the latest space walk and Politics Today. Australia are going to lock children off social media, that will be interesting. While I rest after training and eating I start to draft the blog. It’s Tesco delivery day today so I am hoping I can at last create my new back tortilla recipes.

My afternoon sees me write a poem and then bake my new dish of tortillas for tea. After tea I get a call from a friend and we talk for a while about how we are both doing and how we can gain some perspective in order to get some thinking time and time to rest. It was a real pleasure to have the conversation and to catch up. My evening is mostly TV before I take my night meds and retreat to bed. Tomorrow I shall go for my pre oncology review bloods to be taken and then I shall put todays poem on the blog.
