Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Big Week

Adoring Husband and I have a big week ahead of us.

A couple of weeks ago, AH's doctor told him that the results of his scan came back with some questionable results and that he thought he had bladder cancer.

As you can imagine, this was very shocking news to both of us, and at the time, I had just arrived on the Sunny Coast, so we weren't even together to absorb and discuss this turn of events.

Last Tuesday, we travelled to Brisbane to visit with a specialist and after he looked at all of AH's test results and asked a few questions, he told us that he didn't think AH had bladder cancer, however, he was concerned with his prostate readings.

So he is following up both possibilities, and this week AH is spending a night in a Brisbane hospital to have the follow up tests for both bladder and prostate cancer.

I am feeling positive and hopeful that the results of these tests will be clear.

While I can't even entertain the idea that we will have to deal with the worst case scenario, AH's mindset is different, which is to be expected, because this is his experience and everybody deals with this kind of experience in their own way.

He is focussed on all the worst possible outcomes and I am focussed on the way his current GP has let him down .. but I shall save that for another post on another day!

The second big event happening this week is Bubbles and Knight in Shining Armour arriving on Wednesday for two weeks!

Adoring Husband is especially looking forward to it because he gets to visit Fraser Island with them to do a 4WD tour. I don't enjoy that kind of thing, so I will save my excitement for the whale watching tour instead!

We are really looking forward to seeing them both and hope that we can show them a great time!

Having had an early night last night and sleeping for 8 hours, I think I would like to get into the habit of earlier nights. My brain and my body seemed to be quite thankful for the extended rest period :)

So I shall sign off now .. at 10.20pm .. and make my way towards the bedroom.

Nite all.
