SPIROS KOTSIALOS

Yesterday I was reminded that I still have some way to go as I prompted my first ever emergency call for an Ambulance.

I had had some stomach pains through the day and because of that had not eaten much. Determined to have a good dinner I worked through as much mashed potato, mashed Salmon...

Nothing much to report as pretty much all I did yesterday was two things; Sleep and visit the dentist. From the exhausting day before I seemed to just sleep all morning until about 2pm when Alan and Elisa came to visit which was great.

Had a visit to the hospital to see the dentist which is...

Yesterday I probably pushed it a bit far and was really feeling sore last night and even more so this morning.  What was I doing? Juliet made a visit in the morning which was great, Had breakfast, lunch and dinner, made very quick trip to Harvey Norman and Bunnings (Kirsten drove) to make a decision...

Even though I am leaving the last 24 hrs has proven that I...

Yesterday was an ok on the recovery front but great on the news front. I met with the doctor in charge of my Chemo / Radiation and he passed on some potentially good news which should see me in a good position by Christmas. The key points are:

Yesterday was a relatively good day where I managed to eat mashed potato (amazing I know!) and went for a walk beyond level 10 of St Vincent’s hospital which was even more exciting. Unfortunately I probably pushed it a bit too far and struggled through the night and woke up a bit worse for wear...

It’s been a good day and I continue to feel better and better.  Apart from the need for a bit of Morphine at 3am for the last few days’ pain has been under control and I have started to drink as much as I can.

My goal at the moment is to...
