My previous passport was set to expire in March 2015 so I applied for a new one in September 2014. The following year I joined the big C club and was operated on 2nd July at full moon. The cancer was diagnosed pT3N0M0 with around 40 clear lymph nodes. They caught it just in time as at T3 it had broken through the colon wall. That passport kicked off a new phase of my life. I had colon cancer and bought myself T-shirts with a large semicolon on. I no longer had a full colon. I did not get any chemotherapy. I was now very expensive to insure in terms of life cover. Key man insurance was in the 50 grand sterling range. I did not want to continue tutoring high school science.
I have just applied for a new passport. The passport office have told me that it is printed and on its way. A passport is an identity document. My identity has been renewed. I hope this one is not a harbinger of doom. We have seen too many hospitals these last few years.
I have had a feeling these last few weeks that I am waiting for something and that something new is on its way.
Suddenly two things went our way. I caught the stray Tom and he is back now neutered looking at me through the window to see if there are any more bits of food. The vet thinks he may have feline FIV. And the volet company can fix our volets before Christmas!!
I am a bit sad in that my new passport will not be an EU one…
It is a full moon today…
