We are home

Oh I love our house so much and it is so much more than the bricks and the things in it. It is the place which Steve and I have built together. Not literally of course, saying that Steve has done alot but not as much as he was originally planning, due to the cancer but never the less everything in it, from the design to the furniture we have painstakingly put together as a couple.


Our house, is our home, it feels and smells of us. Funny to say but so true. When we come back after being away it feels so welcoming and I miss it and the times we have in it as a family.

I drove up this morning and got Steve, as I came home last night to get the car and did stop for a quick drink with Bruce and Tim. It was lovely to see them and talk non stop about Steve and how he was getting on. Sorry guys! Know you were probably planning on chatting about boys stuff!

Steve was pleased to see his Dad and I this morning and immediately sent me off to seek out the Doctor to find out when he could go home!!

An hour later and we were in the car on the way back to Chobham.

Steves Mum was waiting at home, with Megan both pleased to see us and immediatly sprang into action to make Steve a large Cheese sandwich! (Steves favorite! Fresh bread of course!)

Steves shoulder is getting so much better. He has so much more movement in it.
Steve is such a determined person! And has already decided in his own Wrighty way that tomorrow its going to be back to normal! Which is a good job as Ginge is already planning the next golf day!

Well Ive left Steve and his Dad downstairs watching Match of The Day and Im off to bed.

It is now a wait of 6 weeks until the next scan which is a great amount of time to get back to focusing on the house and Christmas! Steve has a great way of putting things to the back of his mind and unless we get any more curve balls then probably wont be posting much up on here! We do have to go back and see Tom in the next couple of weeks, for a check up, which will cause the usual battle between Steve and I about him not wanting to go and me being the over protective mother hen! But hey that’s a part of our lives at the moment! And unless we hear other wise then we are treating the shoulder as simply a side effect of IL2! And let Tom and the Radiologist battle out the other stuff!

Thank you once again for the comments and texts I cant tell you how much it makes mine and Steves day to read the encouraging words and I know Ive said it before but friends and family are so important when it comes to the battle against Cancer and Steve and I really appreciate all of the support we have got.

  3. I hope that Steves shoulder doesn't ruin his golf swing (I think that is the correct term)

    When are you going to be ready for a breakfast?

  5. You both have strength that is only found very deep within special people. Even though I have never met you Sally - you are an inspiration and a rock - keep it up! Steve, my thoughts, prayers and everything else goes out to ya - keep on fighting - just like you did on the football pitch for all those years.

    Lots of love
    Brooksie.
