Friday Again


It is hard to get used to the weeken being on Thursday and Friday, now Kuwait has changed the weekend to Friday and Saturday. which is even weirdier, Friday is like an old fashioned Sunday then you have Saturday, Then back to work. So what you may say. Well this is my first weekend back in Kuwait. peace and quiet is great for a few days then you miss your loved ones and feel like a small stone in your shoe, always moving around but nowhere to be really comfortable.

washing, cooking, making everything tidy etc. not a lot to do, I use the same cup and same plate cuts down on the washing up. Sandwiches don't dirty the plates.

Well got to go, don't know why though. Oh yes I remember to stop my mobile phone logging on to the internet and consuming all my balance. I will beat these machines.!!!!!!

Bet it is on auto setting. yes it was now it can't log on unless I tell it.

On the Move


On the Move again. After a vwery busy 3 weeks in the Philippines, finishing off our house, buying furniture etc I managed to leave in the Middle of one of the most deadly typhoon in history. No our house wasn't finished it still isn't but it is getting nearer. Adam has started school in the Indianna Aerospace University, he really likes it and there are only 15 students in his 6th grade class, ( don't let the school name fool you) as well as a University there is also an Elementary School and a High School.


I have to undergo more treatment for the NH Lymph. starting with another FNA biopsy and then either Radiation or more Chemo. Please remember my needs in your prayers.


I will try and post some photos. I have to be out of Kuwait by Sept 26. so I hope I can get all my treatment finished by then.

Going off line for a while.

The big move is on. Tomorrow we leave Kuwait for the Philippines. Our family are making what will be the biggest move for us thus far. Ruth and Adam will remain in Mactan the site of our new house. We have heard that it is nearing completion. I will return to Kuwait at the end of June to close down everything with the job, I have to sign out of many different places, I will then go back to the Philippines to join Adam and Ruth sometime in September.

I have had more health tests and all have come back normal, my blood sugar is now normal and returns to normal as it should, The Doctor confirmed I don't have diabetes. I am on a diet and aim to lose weight approx 25 kgs. My eyes are good and there is no deterioration following the chemo. so I am happy about the results.

We will be off the internet etc, for a while until we can get phone lines etc. so please be patient and check this site regularly.
We will let you have a phone number as soon as possible.

Health Report

Today I had more tests, Blood and urine, liver function, and kidney function tests. All are normal, that is good news, I do have a high Triglyerides and my blood sugar is still to high, but it is coming down slowly. It is good that there is no glucose in the urine, so for one week I am to take madication to reduce the high blood sugar and then hopefully I can control it with a diet of low carbs, sugar and low fat. This is promising results I was worried that the Chemo had adversely affect my kidneys and liver. We continue to prepare for our departure to the Philippines on May 30th. More news as it occurs.

Health Update

On May 11th I went for by bimonthly appointment with the Doctor at the Lymphoma Clinic. All is about the same with regard to my situation, 'Wait and See'. The Doctor advised me to seek help with regard to the constant high glucose levels in my blood tests, which could be indicative of Diabetes. I have been having tests and continue to have tests tomorrow. There is nothing positive yet apart from the high level of my blood sugar, lets hope and pray that I can keep my blood sugar level in normal range with diet and do not have to resort to medication. More when I have some results.
