On my mind: April 2008
http://mybraintumour.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
In my brain actually. My very own brain tumour. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Monday, April 21, 2008. I hate having convultions / fits / seizures. Yesterday (Sunday) Joan and I went to Kirstenbosch and slowly walked the Braille Trail. This is a tiny little walk with a little uphill section. We loved it and I found it exciting to be back on uneven, slightly rocky ground for about 20 minutes. It gave me hope that I could eventually get back to normality some time. Coping: up and down. Friday, April 18, 2008.

On my mind: The Last Post
http://mybraintumour.blogspot.com/2008/09/last-post.html
In my brain actually. My very own brain tumour. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Dear Friends out there who have been keeping track of John's blog,. It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart, but also with relief, that I am writing this last post on the blog. Yesterday just before noon, John died peacefully at home. He left this world as he wished - he just drifted into a sleep and faded away quietly, without a fuss. Life-long love affair with them in our early teens. Behind the reserve and formality ...

In my brain actually. My very own brain tumour. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. January 20th, 2008 by John. Click the picture to make it bigger. This picture needs a bit of explanation:. Many years ago when my children were tiny, I found that I was able to play tunes by turning the garden tap on and off in a controlled manner. Having played Frere Jacques on the tap, I went into the house and found my young son standing outside the toilet with eyes the size of saucers, saying, “Dad, guess what?
