Me eyes!!

I go through stages with my blog!
I will write loads at once and then not any for ages. It's not a case of only write the crap stuff, but my blog is my therapy.
Also my computer is a bit old now and overheats really quickly! and the battery doesn't last very long.

Anyway I think my radiotherapy may have affected my eye sight a bit! The aim was to get the radiotherapy to come down as close to my eyes as possible to be able to reach as much of my tumour as possible. They said it wouldn't go down any further than my eyebrows.........but it did. I've lost hair in patches on my eyebrows and that's not growing back.
I had my eyes tested, not 20/20 vision as last time. Close up is a little bit fuzzy now but still 20/20 long distance.  Lee says it's my age...Cheeky fucker!
