Many apologies for being away from my blog for so long. Time seems to have got away from me this past week. It doesn't seem to be so long when you say it like that but it has trully been one of the longest weeks I have ever had to endure. Getting used to being on my own is proving harder to do this time around. I am used to Nick going away for a few days at a time but I had forgotten what it was like to be on my own for weeks at a stretch. I am slowly getting into a set routine which will make my life easier by filling my time and not giving me time to brood over missing him. The hardest time is just as you wake up and you for a split second wonder where he is then you remember he is away. Going back to the hospital has been harder than I expected, through no fault of anyone. I have been so used to pleasing myself with times to suit my life having to go back to someone else's routine and having to rearrange and cancel my own arrangements because of it is horrible. There is only so much moving around that the hospital can do to fit in with personal arrangements after all they do have so many other people to think about. I have been lucky that they have arranged my dialysis to enable me to go to the House of Lords on Wednesday. My Mother is coming with me, my little way of saying thank you for all they have done for me - believe me it is small recompense for everything my family have done for me and continue to do (especially with Nick being away).
I have been letter writing once again but not to a politician this time I am afraid I have been writing letter after letter to Nick in a vain attempt to make his life a little less boring whilst he is away. I'd better get back to my barracking of the politicians next week as I am yet to receive a reply from either my AM or my MP. I hope others are fairing better than I.
