This feels like the 2025 version of proclaiming you don't have a TV.

"What we're creating here is a wound."

If you'd like to help me get through this nonsense, the GoFundMe link is in my bio. Of course it is. 👊

I can barely speak now - or at least not without feeling a fair deal of pain.

I'm also very much in the realm of eating soft food only. (Hello ice cream and custard - it's not all bad.)

One good thing about my imminent London radiotherapy is that I WILL be in the same city as my kids every day.
