Half Life – 62 – coping January 7th, 2021 Yet another urgent set of internal pictures. It’s almost as if when not sucking blood there has to be another form of mild torture applied just in case the patient gets too comfortable. This one is important, denying that would be foolish. Worries about another compression on the spine is real and serious and demands attention. Pain in the hips and lower spine became unbearable and was stopping the nerves from carrying the instructions to one of my legs, making it necessary to move it manually into bed or the car.
The way you write about something so hideous is beautiful, and I admire your strength. Keep chopping, or whatever it is you do in karate... (*ducks to avoid the blow)
I know you will keep fighting, I know how competitive you are.......... I know how brave you are! And yes apologies in the past I paid no attention to Karate conversations - albeit I am learning more from your posts! And if I meet a karate person I now might be able to throw in the word 'dojo or 'kata' xx and will always think of you! Big hugs as always xx
Love the final sentence! Stay strong. We are cheering you on!!
as always written beautifully. keep strong x
Inspiring stuff, as always Charlie. I'm glad counting in Japanese and mental Kata is helping you to cope (a bit). Brave, brave man...
Depressing when a draw feels like a victory O well, like life, small steps.
Happy Anniversary Charlie! :/
Thank you for writing, Charles, for sharing these thoughts. Thinking of you. ‘Stay strong’, as you once said to me.

My husband lived with cancer for four years. Your blogs sum up our experiences perfectly. Thank you for your honesty and humour.
