First, the news from Florida,
"Josh had his fifth treatment today which went well. There was a slight delay waiting for the gantry so we were able to enjoy extra time for coffee as well as extra time to talk to other families. We met a lovely family from Reading who were able to share our frustration about the lack of English food available! The current list of foods we are missing from England stand at: Yorkshire puddings, Roast dinners, Sausage Rolls, Cadbury chocolate, Tea, Smarties and fish & chips! You may be able to guess which of the three of us misses which items!
Josh has been getting very good at his "freezing like a statue" for his treatment, which has not only halved his treatment time, as they don't have to keep stopping to tell him to lie still, but has also meant the hospital rewarded him with another toy.
Josh always feels very tired after having his treatment though
.
In the evening we joined a number of other couples who are patients / carers at the proton centre for dinner at Biscottis. We were told it serves the best desert in Jacksonville, we weren't disappointed!! We both had the largest slices of cake ever and they were both delicious! We did spare a thought for Rev Tiff (Rachel's uncle) who is currently doing a sponsored weight loss to support us financially with the trip, but decided that we should eat it on his behalf!!
The Cake!!!
My weekly Saturday morning weigh in (having not eaten any cake, never mind the one Lonnie and Rachel had!! Oh, and I'm missing chocolate, fish and chips, Yorkshire puddings, sausage rolls, smarties etc too - but I'm somewhere where they are available and therefore tempting!) has resulted in...
14 stones exactly
so another weekly loss of 2 pounds, and a total of 1 stone 4 pounds
(leaving ten pounds to go to reach my 2 stone target, and about 6 weeks to go before my time limit is up)
Well done tiff, amazing!:-)
