This
is not going to be a happy post. To be honest I’m sitting in the dark listening
to music to get into a better mood but it’s not working. So here I am writing
because it does give me a purpose and mostly something to do.
I
know I wrote last time about maybe having a heart attack, well the good news is it wasn’t a
heart attack. My blood is way to think with red cells and there was lots of big
words mentioned which I would always nod like an idiot and make out I
understood all the big words. I do know
I’ve done so many test now it’s a matter of saying “what day is it and what
test today?”
Today
I went to a specialist on blood and all he done was scare the crap out of my
wife Cheryl who was there to support me. You see he used big words too and
really I had no idea what he was saying except him saying we’re rushing you in
to have a Bone Marrow tomorrow morning and booking more tests on Friday and
Monday. I don’t even know what they’re going to be doing except drilling a hole
in one of my bones. “Hey I’ll be a Holy Man” you see writing helps. Haha
Hey
before I get a whole lot of people call or text or email me about the Bone
Marrow and what is going to happen, please don’t!! The way I see it, the doctor
knows what he has to do and me well all I have to do is turn up and go to
sleep. After I wake up they say what they did and then it’s too late. Not
worrying about it because there’s nothing I can do about it. As long as I don’t
come out a girl I’ll be fine. Haha. Another joke hey I’m doing better. Ha ha
Oh
I have a huge WARNING. I’m not telling my daughter Jasmine anything about this
because well really she’s only 9 years old and what’s the point of worrying
her. So the WARNING is, please if you know her don’t mention anything because
there’s no reason to upset or worry her. I wrote it twice so people would let
it sink in.
I
want to say I’m scared, not the operation, that’s out of my hands. I’m scared
that if things go wrong or I don’t heal quickly or there’s more wrong, then
what will happen? Will my family life fall apart again? Will I lose everything
again? Then there’s the big one, is there a chance I become homeless again with
nothing? I know I have a great wife and daughter but, well there’s always a
but.
The
Doctors can do whatever they want as long as I’m able to work and provide for
my family as a working man. I know over the last two weeks I have worked two
days because of my health, doing tests and money is already in a bad way. I need
to get better quickly and work again.
I
guess that’s why I help the homeless so much, because I know how easy it could
happen and really if I was to be homeless again I would want to meet someone
doing what I do to help me get on my feet again. I will never stop doing the
BBQ’S and helping one on one because of this every reason.
Haha
Now I know I won’t post this one.
What
the heck. People want to read about Grant the Polite Guy being positive. Well
here’s the truth, I’m always positive because I won’t face losing again because
it’s a quick road down, but a long journey back.
Please
wish me luck for tomorrow and for you I hope you have a great day. Remember the
words “Homeless People” are “People” if you take away the “homeless” word.
Thank
you for reading my blog and if I lose some readers because it’s a bit sad well
I understand. I still wish you a good day.
Grant
