In an Older Posting relating to “Murphy’s Law #4″ and pertaining to happenings/incidents each time Myrtle & I visited Dunedin Public Hospital, I mentioned I could finally “slam” the door, on those “lemony-incidents”….how very, very wrong I was soon to find out!
………………………………………………..
Myrtle and I travelled to Dunedin a day B4 the appointment, I am unable to relieve Myrtle at driving, we left Invercargill @ 3:00pm arriving @ 6:00pm at Kowhai House, after picking up “our key” at the Dunedin Hospital Reception Desk we promptly retired for the evening.
At 8:50am we presented ourselves at the Nuclear Medicine Laboratory, where we met Dr.Nichols (lovely communicable man) easy-going, polite, a very reassuring man) he was the Dr, who “looked” after me during my Radiation Iodine Treatment.
Full Body Scan………Technology in action is never really appreciated until one is actually involved, and its been used in your “healing process”
After 30 minutes, Myrtle and I moved down to Ground Floor to see the Dude in charge of all this modern Nuclear Development, a Dr Manning.as Myrtle was explaining to the receptionist about our appointment with Dr Manning, Mr Dean Rusk (My Surgeon/Specialist) walked by, I smiled @ him and he responded by “touching me on the shoulder” that simple gesture, meant more to me then a 1000 operations & appointments Wuuuuuu – Weeeeeee !!!
The Lemon……..don’t get me wrong folks, Dr Manning is another wonderful/Dr Specialist I’ve met in the “Healing Process” He began to explain the Full Body Scan Results to Myrtle and I, and it “rocked-me” to the very core of my rotten cancerous-festering damn scab !!!
my immediate reaction was to LASH OUT, instead the “flood gates opened inside me” and I just let it, outwardly no.one would have noticed anything, that’s my RELEASE VALVE, from REACTING !!!
I don’t remember much after that …….I just turned off !!!
Dr Manning, had explained that cancer travels thru the “nymph nodes” in the body, and that the Scan revealed the Chest area to be clear (thats not to say, it’s absolutely CLEAR) the Scan also revealed a SPOT in the Hip Area….and that “they wanted to try another RADIATION METHOD of attack !!!……..this is where I TURNED OFF, horizontally & vertically, I just wanted out !
Myrtle and I walked slowly & sadly back to Kowhai House Carpark, and I said to her “Mum, I have an appointment with Dr Dean Rusk on the 1st Dec.2009, and I am going to ‘pull – the -pin“
No more trips to Dunedin, No more appointments, No more Scans,
No more Radiation Tre atments.
I am taking back control of my life, come what may, and regardless of however long I may live, I am going to live my way.

THE LEMONADE……….an “inspiration” came to me at 2am Thursday morning and I called this Poem………………………..
The Stillness Of Morn
Yea Lord, I seeketh thee
“in the stillness of morn” as thou hast promised
have I sought thee !
e’n fore….the stirring of babes
the stirring of bird…….nothing stirs,
but, the “stirrings of my soul”
………………………..
Yea Lord, I do find thee
“in the stillness of morn” as thou hast promised
have I found thee, as the “gushing forth of water”
do inspirations flow…..from the heart, to mind.to pen,
Thus have I found thee !
…………………………………………….
Yea Lord, I searcheth thee, with all my heart,
“in the stillness of morn”
