This is driving me bonkers!
Yesterday Pipocas took me out for a lovely lunch at a new place (well, new for us) called Viniera San Telmo. It had been recommended by someone from the UK who had written to me back in August, thanking me for my tapas blog because he brings people to Sevilla for tapa tours and apparently my site has been very helpful to him. He also told me about some of his favourite places here, one of which is Viniera San Telmo. And so we tried it out and it really was fabulous. Anyhow, over lunch . . .

… well, sorta kinda.
When I thought that after the liver resection last week I would just have five more chemo sessions, I was quite looking forward to getting back to work in January. Of course, now all that has changed to six months of a different chemo treatment starting around the end of October and then another stab at doing the liver operation after that. Which will take me up to next May/June. Shit. . .

It’s been about nine days since my ‘almost operation’ – is it still considered an operation if they didn’t actually hack into my liver and remove the tumours?. In any case, I’m sure this is why I went home after just two days, as I’m mostly ‘just’ recovering from having a 15″ j-shaped gash cut into me rather than that and my liver being resected. And I seem to be recovering from it quite well. Meanwhile . . .
