My subconscious has churned.
Worked through issues. Examined. Understood.
Used many words to help me to understand.
Now done.
Status at 24oct24:
Physical.
Cancer in brain stem is actively working to kill me. Best time estimate is: sooner rather than later.
Side effects are well managed by minor drugs. Major drugs will slow the decline.
Noticeable effects on physical well-being could as easily be due to age.
Mental: bloody good memory. Still doing crosswords etc.
Apparent problems are due to vision: I miss seeing clearly, effect may be confused with confusion.
Emotional: now much better settled. Not entirely happy but... satisfied. Enjoying... the "challenge" of life.
Ready to tackle some things which may be pointless... but which need to be attempted.
To nowhere near infinity and... beyond :-)
Happy.
half blind. half deaf. dying of cancer.

Good on you mate. Keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteG'day Nick, I haven't caught up with your blog for a few weeks now and have to say, I am extremely sorry to hear about your incidents over that time and ongoing prognosis. You are seriously setting a high bar for the rest of us to follow if/when we find ourselves in a similar situation.
ReplyDeleteI can only wish you the best outcome possible - and also hope to catch up on t'other side when the time comes. I still have clear and pleasant memories Nick of my times at Third Ave, Kelmscott all those years ago, thank you for that.
Sincerest best wishes
Leo
