The recent misty mornings reminded me that this time last year I knew I was having surgery and it was a case of counting down the days whilst trying to enjoy xmas and new year. this year I can see the looming shadow of my first scan coming over the horizon. Trying not to dwell too much. Thought I would confront it head on and get it done before xmas but they said it would be a two week wait for results. The waiting is too much like last year and I want a good xmas without fear and expectation so January it will be. Until then I suppose I can say I am still clear, health is good, and the little things that are odd are what might be a new normal.

Sometimes I can see my colon move! You know the scene in Alien where it bursts through John Hurts chest??? That gives you an idea. And I am sure my left waist is bigger than my right. But there are more organs on that side, and I have scoliosis so theres a whole lot of twisting going on still. Could they have missed a bit on my left? Possibly.

Had a Shiatsu training weekend where we looked at spleen and stomach meridiens. Despite no spleen my spleen energy appears to be very balanced. Mega! They say that the spleen likes stability and a home and touch.Every day I get home, I have my favourite place to sit and Scooter (cat) usually gets in the nook and cuddles in. I have a spleen replenish every day and Ive been doing this for years without knowing it. Home is very important; firstly in your body but then  with an external space. Although I dont own a space I think I have got this right.  Minimal and uncluttered but not hard and cold. I think carpets are due back in fashion....rubbish floorboards are not cool, shiny slidey leather sofas - NO, hard wearing rugs - WHY? get a plush one! 

Discovered a new herb called Astragalus. In 80% of mice with tumours it triggered off their Natural Killer cell tendency. Checked with John and of course hes got it covered as I knew he would.
