I saw monkeys

What an excellent month this has been. First of all I refused medical intervention and as a reward I went to Malaga for 2 weeks on my own. This was highly enjoyable. I took off my watch, ate when I wanted, slept when I wanted, did anything I wanted. It was great. Met some cool people, too...

Then I came home for four days to glorious CO2 induced British summer, then once again to Spain. This time with my girlfriend, Imelda, and good friends Ali and Gareth. A day in Valencia, a night in Barcelona, and 5 days of pool lounging and sea swimming.

Today I had a checkup at the hospital and it all went great. No problems here.

It is really hard to get out of the routine of being ill. Without a never ending schedule of blood tests, chemo-therapy, scan here, scan there, it's difficult to know what is happening. Now that it is happening I am going to do my best to start all the things I promised myself I would do once it was all over with. Mostly this is doing what I want to do, not what others want me to do. I will also be having a lot of fun.
