insiders return by petra
Well I know you have all been waiting for the follow up blog by the insider… I too would like to think I have a fan club like Serg.. not that we are competitive in any way.
So four weeks has passed and we are knocking on the door of another few days in the hospital. Understandably Serg is apprehensive about the next chemo and I am ironing my nurses uniform and getting ready to go back on duty. Serg has been a great patient infact better than if he has the flu. We have assessed the last cycle, had a team meeting [serg, me and the dog], taken minutes of the meeting , identifying the positive and negatives!!! and come up with an adjusted game plan for this treatment. I have stocked the fridge with powerade drinks, organic ginger beer, pickled ginger, strawberry jam , bread and oh of course bannanas to met the dietary needs of the patient. I have placed the recommended reading books by the blog audience at bedside, charger at hand so ipad can be charged to check blog and organised the children pick up drop offs. I feel ready for game day tomorrow and hopefully we can improve on our performance from last cycle. Who knows my 360 performance review may improve.
The one thing that is much better prepared, is the BLOG… can I say Serg checks the statics like the profit and loss report. My inside tip is he know who has been naughty and nice so start commenting on the blog if you want a Christmas card. He is really enjoying reading people comments and I wonder if soon we will be printing tshirts saying “”…i read my sabbatical to me, do u ??”
My Unplanned Sabbatical 
Good luck for the next round Serg. (and to you Petra)
Just shout if you need any help – I am always happy to drop the girls back home after school/ take them to school or whatever you need.
Thinking of you
Karen & Richard
Lurkers to date, but yes, we read it religously! Keep it up!
Ok, mark me down for a Hannukah card. Haven’t missed an episode yet! Enjoying the updates, particularly being interstate and unable to drop in for a cuppa, or drop over some chicken soup!
Petra – what a gorgeous support you are. Look forward to your continued ‘insider’ blogs as much as the main man’s.
SD, stay strong during round 2. You knocked them out in round 1 and are sure to reign over the next. I wish you strength, resilience, good humor and a continued appetite for all things pregnant women would crave.
Hi from Team Catholic,
Serg I think it is fantastic that you are peaking pre tomorrow and that the weekend has been brilliant- you will never lose the ability to enjoy a party …, love the tennis video and the photo of the heirs to the mortgage.
Have spent the week post Cave Hill Creek telling anyone that will listen what an amazing weekend the nursing crew (what a blessing to have that many wonderful friends in one spot) had, made all the better to share it with you, Pet and the girls.
Hope the side effects are too crappy this week, but the weather Thursday onwards is with you to curl and and rest inside so you won’t be missing out.
Have been searching for new and exciting jams to add to your collection.
Looking forward to being entertained by your stories about the roommates this week,
Lea xx
