This is overdue. Tim Blair has started blogging again following his cancer surgery. In typical Blair style, he is cracking jokes about his experiences as he recovers.
• Overconfident, a few days ago I attempted to take a bath. Unable to haul myself out – no exit strategy – I was forced to call on the only other person in the house: my dear old mother. During an intensely awkward bath-extraction pas de deux, it was silently agreed that we must never speak of this again.
• The level of cancer with which I was diagnosed: T3. Not the worst.
• Weight before surgery: 82 kilograms (180 pounds). Present weight, after several days on solid food: 75 kilograms (165 pounds).
• I’m informally banned from driving lest sudden braking cause sudden breakage of slow-mending abdominal wounds and subsequent hilarious organ spillage. My mother – a former nurse – once saw this happen.
Hilarious organ spillage is a classic. Welcome back, Tim. Get well soon.
T3 is not the worst but just about the worst. Tim stay in touch, I have knowledge of treatments that are Sloan Kettering based. But do not recommend Sloan, I will help in passing any knowledge I can..
