What does a Wolf and a Honeybee have to do with "One Day"?

Today was a really good day.

Alex was wheeled over to his Glowing Session quite early.  Again, he managed to convince the staff that he didn't need to be wheeled back, so they found a clean pillowcase for his medical files to be hidden in, and we walked back to the ward.

By now the nurses I think would be surprised if he did stay in the ward for the day.  If he did, they would have to assume he was ill!  He returned his medical chart, and assured them he was going out for a "coffee" and he'd see them all later in the day  ...  quite funny really.

Before heading to the office, Alex had in mind the coffee shop he'd like to try.  So with the "One day ..." theme in mind, we were very fortunate to find a parking spot right opposite today's cafe of choice.

Inside it was retro furniture, well patronised and a good vibe.

We ordered a latte each and shared the freshest slice of toasted banana bread we'd had in a long time

The coffee really was good, and when I saw the take-away cups, I thought back to Heather's comments yesterday about the 4 full time barristers at Campos and I did have to smile ...

Well fortified, we set off for some time at the office, then deliveries in Chinatown, a too-brief trip back home and Alex returned to Royal Prince Alfred Motel a bit later in the afternoon than we'd originally planned.  The nursing staff on duty when we returned just said hello to us as we arrived - as if this was quite normal for a patient to be away for most of the day!

Alex's parents and Simon arrived not long after we returned, so the timing was perfect.  Alex also had a visit from Joan, who is one of the Community Nurses.  Donna had advised Joan that Alex was in RPA so she visited to touch base and to see if he needed any extra help with anything.

Joe and Leona arrived next, just as Mr & Mrs Hage and Simon were about to leave.  We moved downstairs to the coffee shop and had a great catchup with Joe & Leona for a couple of hours.

Alex was due upstairs for his B12 injection.  This is part of the preparation for his upcoming Chemotherapy treatment we'll be finding out more about on Friday.
