Hi Dan, Good luck, you show that squatter who's boss and get it evicted ASAP. So has your treatment started yet or does it start tomorrow with the log? 

My treatment starts today (as today's now Monday & I'll be updating my log shortly) looking forward to getting things underway, all of the staff (so far) here at my hospital have been great - thanks for your kind words & I hope you enjoy the log!!

Thanks Jen, good to hear from you - I hope all is well with yourself being in hospital & is nothing sinister - regarding the highly fashionable hat situation, I use the bowl in which they give you to be sick in (ensure there is no vomit prior to wearing) or the one that you use for the toilet - both garner high appraise from myself, but the "Vombowl" as I have named it (patented) is certainly the more comfortable of the two.

I am seeing Vik tomorrow as we are both missing each other & will have a big update for the VLog, the Waiting game will finally be over and the real fun begins!! Thanks again for your continued support and I hope to ur stay in hospital is brief and uneventful so you can get back to normality 

Kind regards - Dan

Thanks Dan!

I did have two hats at one point! But I have been in three bed arrangements over the last 20 hours and they have been lost in transition! Shall request some more and try for a pic! 

Thanks for your top Hat Advice by Dan... Maybe you could start a newspaper column on how hospital items can become accessories?

I am pleased to hear you and Vik will catch up tomorrow and can find out some further info and be there for each other.

I shall let you know the outcome of my medical mystery - only if you wish to know tho!

Currently I am not allowed out of bed in case I take a fall... Blood pressure low and all that jazz.. Hope to locate some hat options and will let you know! 

Take care and hope you are managing some sleep.

Sounds like the hats have become a desirable accessory - I would bet some of the other patients have poached them, it wouldn't surprise me - I'm going to start a Facebook page tomorrow & I'll post the link here so if anyone wants to post pictures/have a chat they can - I'm making the V-log tomorrow as I ran out of time today 

Yeah just take today to see what you have to digest information wise personally from today yourself and then tomorrow you can catch up on the V-Log. 

Please keep us informed of the Facebook page progress as I have an unflattering no make up "hat" photo to share with you lol! It's not my best photo but it shows off the accessory itself which is the main thing! 

Hats were definitely in the hands of people who aren't being sick anymore/yet so I think they were like me and secretly just wanting them back to the room for hat accessories as there were limited ones on the ward. I managed to pinch one from the CT scan department when I was getting my CT this morning!

Hope you got to see your partner today and V is feeling better and you are both resting. 

Looking forward to catching up with V-log tomorrow to see what's what after today but please take it easy tonight! 

No further on with me but still low blood pressure so not allowed to leave the bed much. Argh. I crack up with these things like being so still because I am so busy when I am at home but I need to just deal with it and see what happens.  No diagnosis apart from gallstones on the abdomen scan which is good but not sure if they need to image else were.  Need to catch nurse that's come on night shift then going to tune into a conference call at 9.30pm given the patient wifi holds up .

Take it easy and speak soon! Jen 

Good luck Dan,

Will keep track of your v-log.:)

Take each day as it comes.

Hello Dan, have just watched your Vlog from yesterday, and just want to wish you the very best of luck with your chemo, it won't be nice but I hope you manage your bucket list in the respite days each fortnight.  Will be following your progress and look forward to watching you having some good days out!  Fingers crossed for a good result in 3 months' time!

PS I think I prefer your old hat, sorry - I have very bad memories of sick bowls!  

We had a rather unfortunate event with the old hat, it kind of, well, turned into an emergency sick bowl!! And this was the only one I could grab on my way out after my liver biopsy!! I did prefer the old one but I guess I'll have to do... I have started my Facebook so feel free to add me, I will continue the V-log on YouTube nonetheless, we've just gotten a go pro camera & have been out on my bike today so some fun videos to follow

Just like to say a big thank you to everyone on here, it's really great how much of a supportive environment this site is, I will continue the good fight and hope people have a good laugh watching my vidz

Hi Dan

I've been following your vlog posts on YouTube but can't figure out how to add comments there - I can click the like button though - just to leave my mark on the place. Hope you've been managing to chill playing games with that mahoosive tv! Escapism is good. I forget all my troubles when I'm on my xbox. Love the new hair cut. I expect the hat fits better now?  I will be keeping everything crossed for you as you begin treatment. Give this evil squatter a good kicking!

Thanks Nutty - if your using YouTube on your mobile I believe you scroll right to the very bottom & it should allow you to leave comments - or maybe a little arrow on the screen?? Either way your support is very much appreciated - take care
