Four days after the diagnosis, yet still we await some contact from the Oncology team as to how things are going to proceed? One positive has been a phone conversation with one of our local Pilgrims Hospice nurses who have informed me of their intention to provide home visits in order to monitor Bev's pain relief medication and offer alternatives if they see fit. They were also able to confirm that the Oncology team were actively seeking a course of action for our situation. Under these current circumstances it is probably just as well that Bev is as "high as a kite" on Morphine and Cocodamol and sleeps (or is just unconscious?) almost 24/7
Bruno still needs his daily exercise, thus provides me with an opportunity to spend a while just enjoying whatever crosses our path. This past two days we've visited Stodmarsh/Grove Ferry NNR and it's been very rewarding. Booming Bitterns, a maximum count of twenty-eight Cattle Egrets plus good numbers of newly arrived Reed & Sedge Warblers. I've still not seen a Wheatear, Whitethroat, Garganey or Yellow Wagtail yet, under the current circumstances, will simply have to bide my time. I did have a nice surprise as I examined the contents of the moth trap, yesterday morning, when I discovered a lovely Mullein Moth. Not particularly scarce, but still another manifestation of simple pleasures?
