Sunday 16th May 2004
So-So day today, having trouble sleeping because if I lie on my neck tumour it hurts, if I lie on my other side then it’s uncomfortable also. I try to sleep on my back but roll over in my sleep and wake up.

Hopefully one good thing will come out of my radical neck surgery, I will get to lie down on my side without trouble. I have been having trouble with my bowels for the last couple of days. Whenever I eat, it seems to go straight through me. Anthony and Cheryl took me out for tea tonight, which was nice. However after the meal I was not very well again. I broke wind and you can guess what happened, although I didn’t tell them. I had to go to the toilets and sort myself out. I will have to ring my doctor about this as I am not sick in myself and have still got most of my appetite back. I wonder if this is related to my illness.
