Went round to my pals on boxing day. My god son is very creative and so we did a little video for his youtube channel. I filmed him but he did all the rest himself.

Best wishes to everybody, hope that those with illness in the family get to the other side with the right results and that 2019 isn't as bad for us as the doomsters would have us believe.

I had my first drink on the big day at about 10.20. Didn't think it was that early.

Happy new year to all you MB feckers ;-)
Quiet night in for me last night, I was in bed before midnight!....
Back to work tomorrow, I’m looking forward to it actually......normality!!
The new season seems much closer than it did a few weeks ago...if you get my drift. Now I start planning my bike trip for 2019, might do one long trip or two shorter ones....

Happy New Year all.
Some good news; my mother-in-law has been given the all clear! Although she was given the all clear around August, that information wasn't passed onto my wife as her family work on the philosophy of "no news is good news"; or if it was passed on, then she forgot and didn't tell me. The m-in-l had two more treatments since then and was released on the 22nd December after her last one. She'll have a blood test every 4 weeks for another year and then once every 6 months to keep an eye on her.
My sister-in-law's daily radiotherapy treatments are going well, as is the chemo; by all accounts her oncologist is happy with her progress.
So, a much less stressful Christmas then I anticipated; apart from the usual arguments which always happen when my wife and her mother get together!
Looking forward to the new season, especially MotoGP (JL at Honda) and Moto2 with the new Triumph engine. I'll take Moto3 as it comes, but it'll be interesting to see if the Max Biaggi team (Max Racing) with Aron Canet as the rider can ruffle the feathers of the VR46 Team... could prove interesting! I'm curious about MotoE; apparently they'll only run 15 minute races due to the battery charge. If the racing proves popular, then the manufacturer could re-engineer the motorcycles to incorporate quick release battery packs and allow Dorna to run longer races with pit stops. WSB... meh! I'll take it race by race.

My sister-in-law has been given the all clear and she is in remission. She'll still needs ongoing checks over the next few years, as is the norm, but the whole family is mightily relieved.
Because of my family history, I had some blood work done to test for Prostate Cancer and the PSA results came back as zero. Again, because of family history and my age (45+), this is enough for the GPs to set up a regular screen programme to keep an eye on things.
If you're 45 or over with a family history of Prostate Cancer or high PSA counts, or you are 50+, a quick blood sample and a weeks wait is all it takes... although I must admit, that wait is nerve racking.

Finger up the bum time on Friday, just to make sure! As I said to my brother, who has a higher than usual PSA blood test result, I'm always a little suspicious when test results, of any nature, return the best possible and hoped for outcome.

The prostate examination revealed nothing out of the ordinary, so coupled with the PSA results and the lack of symptoms (the 'Triad' as he called it), he was worried and gave me a clean bill of health. The PSA results weren't actually zero, because apparently that's impossible, but 1.3 ng/ml which is still a safe level; www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/guide/psa#1He has recommended an annual screening programme, but if anything changes regarding toileting habits, frequency etc. then I'm to call the surgery and book an appointment. Hopefully by talking about health issues, more men will pull their fingers out (so to speak) and get themselves tested. |
