Hello everyone, it’s me again having a go at typing a blog again after a long time of not doing one. I thought I’d carry on my antics, and our antics as a family, with a bit of Crash, Bang, Wallop, Boing!
So, life goes on as usual, with hubby deciding to go through the house on a rampage. They were accidents, not that he was in a temper, I might add!
Crash, Bang, Wallop, Boing number one…
First, I was snuggled up in bed the other evening, watching one of my thriller films when all of a sudden, there was such a bang and a crash. Followed by hubby turning the air a slight shade of blue… I honestly thought that he’d fallen down stairs with the noise that came from up there. A couple of ‘are you ok’s’ from me, which I don’t think he heard, as he was still ranting away.
It turned out that he hadn’t had enough of me and was trying to throw himself down the stairs. He’d accidentally opened a cupboard in the room above my bedroom and his precious, expensive camera had fallen out of it. No laughing matter I might add, but he loves his camera gear like you wouldn’t believe. Straight away he took a photo to find it worked so he did calm down. I think he thought he might have to have a burial and go into mourning for one of his beloved cameras. No, I’m not having you on – as he loves all his things like you wouldn’t believe!
Crash, Bang, Wallop number two…
Next, I was reclining in my bath, minding my own business when all of a sudden, there was a huge bang from the direction of the kitchen. I realised straight away that hubby was at it again on his smashing rampage.
After the previous night’s episode I did think he would have been a bit more careful. Anyway, it turned out that he had smashed a pyrex dish. It was one of our wedding presents and we still use it a lot. (Not that we do now… no more homemade meat & potato pie for Kevin!) Apparently it ‘just fell’ when he was trying to get something else. Mmmm. I could tell that it was crockery of some sort as it smashed onto the tiled floor.
Kevin came running down the corridor to get the vacuum cleaner. Luckily the dogs were upstairs, as glass and shards at that don’t do well with tiny paws. A trip to the vets wouldn’t be appreciated. He was telling hubby to get out of the way and when clear to take his slippers off and check that he hadn’t got any shards on his feet.
What will Crash, Bang, Wallop number three be?
We’re waiting for a third crash now, as they usually go in threes don’t they. I just hope it’s a milder bang as my nerves won’t take a loud bang again! There’s one thing, he can’t blame Mr Nobody. Hubby was on his own each time so couldn’t blame anyone else to get him out of trouble!
Anyway, back to me and my health adventures. I’ve been playing the waiting game because as you know, I went for blood tests to see if there are any cancer markers in my blood. I had a telephone appointment with a consultant so after nervously waiting I’m pleased to report everything was OK. I’ll tell you the full tale later.
Then on Saturday morning and out of the blue came an another telephone appointment with a gynae consultant. Presumably that’s about the ‘things’ on my ovary. It’s the middle of August so hopefully it will be good news and they are indeed cysts as they thought in the first place.
To share or not to share?
I did just wonder if you lovely people out there who have been so supportive all these months, want me to carry on telling you such personal things? If it upsets anyone I’ll stop as I don’t want to scare or worry anyone. It’s just something that’s happened to me and my family – illness affects everyone if you care about each other.
I’ve surprised myself actually as I’ve always been such a private person when it comes to these things happening. I’ve always been quiet about myself. But since I almost died in December last year I’ve changed such a lot. Well I think I have, others might not. But if it helps one person to be able to confide in family and friends when they haven’t been able to before, that’s all that matters.
Let me know whether you want me to carry on or not. You can leave a comment below, or send me an email – chris@therabbitpatch.co.uk
