Wednesday and I surface slowly having got to bed late last night. I take my vitals, all good, and then make breakfast. I have got into my training kit so after a while I go to the garage and set myself up for a 30 minute row. I try to start with a good pace and to my surprise I am able to keep it going.

I record the session in my journal and then shower. I while away time until its time to go for my scan. As I am putting the directions in to the Satnav a member of the publishers Ruler’s Wit arrived and collected 10 copies of Man to Man for an event on Saturday.

The scan took place in a nice new diagnosis centre at a local hospital. It was quick and efficient. It was a thorax and abdomen scan so I ended up with a cannula in my arm so they could pump a contrast dye into me. It was over very quickly and I was soon driving home to tea, football and a series. So the evening passes, take my meds and crawl off to be knackered. Tomorrow I have my nails done and then its another scan, the radiation one. Deep joy.
