Once more unto the breach...

That's probably the one and only time you'll ever get me quoting Shakespeare... and especially Henry V.
That's me ready and counting down the hours till admission tomorrow. I'm all packed up and all my gadgets and gizmos are either charged up or getting charged up. Skype is installed on the PDA so I hope I can get a 3G signal down in the bowels of Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The sooner I get started the sooner I get out. I'm 100% fine about the treatment and what lies ahead but I do get upset when I think about Erin and Rebecca. I'm gonna miss them sooooo much. Veronica has said she'll beg the nurses to let them in once or twice but I think that would be harder for me than just not seeing them. I'm already counting the days until I'm out... I'll maybe get Veronica to make one of her sticker charts for me.

Keep in touch, everyone. I have the technology!

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck for tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be home with your girls again soon. I've been trying for ages to come up with something inspirational or clever to say, but I'm sure you've heard it all before, so all I have is 'good luck' and I hope it's as easy as it can be for you.

The sooner you get started...the sooner you'll be home to your wee girls who'll be waiting for you with big sloppy kisses : }

Remember all the advice you've read from your fellow SCTers...lots of walks around the halls, take all the drugs they'll offer you...etc.

You know you have LOTS of positive vibes and big bear (((hugs))) from your HL forum family.

Keep us updated when you can. Hang in there Wullie and Veronica...the light at the end of the tunnel will be getting brighter as you count the days on your sticker chart...and it will lead you out the hospital doors and back to your home and your own comfy bed and loving family.

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
