Tina's Twin Bommies

[TigerIssey]

O cmon Ben, I got back yesterday at 2 in the morning, did not sleep straight away, got up around 11.30 and then had to sort the tank out. I have not yet unpacked the cases either, I also need to download all the holiday pics off the camera first.

I promise that at some point today, there will be some pictures. I have to go to physio first though.

Hi Tina,

O cmon Ben, I got back yesterday at 2 in the morning, did not sleep straight away, got up around 11.30 and then had to sort the tank out. I have not yet unpacked the cases either, I also need to download all the holiday pics off the camera first.

I promise that at some point today, there will be some pictures. I have to go to physio first though.

Yeah Ben, pics shoud be a priority

I would like to say it is nice to be back, I would rather be back out there, anyway, reality has to kick in sometime.

My tan is not brilliant but I certainly look a lot healthier than I did beforehand. It was too hot somedays to lie in it, the morphine also had a habit of making me fall asleep in the sun, not good, even if you were in shade when you fell asleep, you would not be on waking. Had to be very careful, also could not get in and out of swimming pools, so did not cool down at all, the sea has a strong current and I would probably have ended up in Rhodes.

I have changed phosphate remover and carbon and blown rocks with my Turkey baster as well as adding more reef builder to increase alkalinity. Will add Calcium tomorrow now as you should not add both on same day. As I have blown rocks off, there is a little cloudiness, I am just waiting for that to clear before I take the photographs, they will be here sometime tonight though, I know they are priority but really had to go to physio.

Not emptied cases yet so photos will come before that, to be honest, the thought of all that washing is making me pull my hair out.

For those that know about Mum and her Cancer, she had excellent news whilst I was away, her cancer has decreased by half at the half way stage of her chemotherapy, we are hoping it will be held back by this. It will not go completley but at least will give her a better chance.

Great news about Mum T.

Only bad thing about holidays................................The Washing when you get home

 

[karigupi]

I do not envy you all that washing.

So glad to hear about your mum, chemo is an awful thing to have to endure, but it sounds like it is working, fantastic news.

Looking forward to pictures

I know I promised you all these photos yesterday but I fell asleep on the sofa again, ###### morphine.

Since messing with cleaning the front glass, the polyps on the frogspawn and Hammer have not expanded quite as much as they were when I first got back, despite that everything looks very healthy.

This seems to be expanding more since I got back too.

Thanks Bagu, if the parents ever agree to your marine tank, I will frag that leather for you, you always comment on it.

Thanks, it has took some set backs to get to this point, don't know whether you read both journals, I have fought green water, off hydrometer which left my SG at about 1.029 and just lately this red cyano. I am hoping I am getting over algae blooms now. I am also at the point where another fish would be very welcome.

Wow Love your tank TI. It's awesome!!

Good news about your mom. Wishing her continued success

Thanks KJ, you have followed the hard work, so know how much this means to me.

Thanks to everyone that has wished mom well, we are really really exstatic about the CT scan result. Mom is a very strong person and has fought all the way. She is convinced that the next few cycles will produce better results.

If you read newspapers at all, she managed to get Pemetrexed on NHS, it is a new form of chemo that does not give as nasty side effects and was stated in a recent Daily Mail as a new treatment that cancer patients are rarely told about. This has made our week that mom has managed to get this drug. I believe our local cancer centre is also a research centre hence getting it on NHS as it is £1000 per 3 week cycle.
