ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: Short Break
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/short-break.html
Monday, 27 September 2010. As it turned out, it was a glorious weekend. We went to Witches Craig. Caravan site, which lies just outside Stirling, under the Ochil Hills. And not far from the Wallace Monument, so beautiful views and a beautifully kept site too, with HUGE pitches! Here are the new caravanners with their beautiful brand new van - had a bit of van envy going on! We hadn't dared to hope that it would be nice enough to sit outside! And Ochil Hills taken from just outside the castle. So pleased ...

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: September 2009
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 15 September 2009. September and I’m back in the Day Ward at 9am for my first cycle of treatment. As Cisplatin can cause kidney damage, the first part of the treatment involves taking a water tablet, and being given two bags of hydration fluid via a cannula placed in the vein in the back of my hand, each of which takes just over an hour to go through. All is well for the first 45 minutes and then the trek backwards and forwards begins…. It’s probably good for others to see that it’s ...Not much ...

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: July 2009
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2009. I’m not sure how I feel about my hospital appointment today. I’m not sure what I expected, but I left with very mixed feelings. The appointment was at 4.20 and we arrived bang on time, expecting a wait as they’d be bound to have been delays by that time in the day. Surprisingly, my bum had hardly made contact with the seat in the waiting room when my name was called. Then though to get bloods taken. Got a bit worried when she said “Oh damn, damn, damn! A couple of minutes later, ...

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: December 2009
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 December 2009. Post Op - Dave's Post. Well, where to start? I feel like a teenager having been handed the keys to his dad's Porsche being let loose on here - so much to live up to! I was given strict instructions to give an update so here goes. So that I could talk to her. She said 'did the hospital give you any updates yesterday' I said 'yes, all the time until they let us through to see you'. 'Were you here yesterday? She said - couldn't remember a thing about it! At the moment and probabl...

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: 4am Wake Up Call!
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2010/06/4am-wake-up-call.html
Tuesday, 22 June 2010. 4am Wake Up Call! As if I didn't have enough trouble sleeping already, for the last couple of days I've been woken up by some terrible screeching noises outside - not the usual dawn chorus of birdies at all. Got up to have a look to see what was going on and this is what I saw:. It's a peacock - or a peahen to be more precise! I've no idea where she came from because we can't think of anywhere close by that keeps them. I did report her to the SSPCA. Be distressed and she WILL.

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: October 2010
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 October 2010. I've fallen behind again! A couple of weekends ago my sister was staying over as she'd taken me to my Mistletoe appointment on the Friday, so we took the opportunity to have a bit of a girly day out on the Saturday. First we headed off to Simply Create. To see what the lovely and talented Kath. Quick spend on some gorgeous new BoBunny purple christmas papers then we headed off into Aberdeen to Silly Bears. Who were having their 3rd Anniversary Cocktail and Cupcake reception!

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: November 2009
http://scotstitchersarmchairadventures.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 November 2009. P is for Paracetamol. So, visit to the Oncologist went ok on Tuesday - just a bit of a "catch up" appointment to confirm that the surgeon is of the same opinion that surgery is required and to make sure that everything is in place for the next stage of treatment. I've to have another CT scan (oh no, not more gastrografin! A special hello to all the AC ladies if you've found your way here! Thursday, 12 November 2009. Friday we headed back to the Legends of Grandtully. For lunch...

ScotStitcher's Armchair Adventures: January 2010

Tuesday, 12 January 2010. Post Op Part 2: 21-29 December. Sorry it's been a while. I'm still not terribly comfortable sitting at the moment, so I've been avoiding the computer. I can sit long enough to catch up with emails etc, but haven't been doing much in the way of replies - I promise I'll catch up with it all soon! The first couple of days I went through to have a bath - which I managed OK with a bit of assistance to get in and out, but after that I thought I'd try a shower. Fine as long as I di...
