"The Last Supper" With My Friends

Thursday night my friend Sandra sent me a message asking if I would like to go to lunch today.  The plan was just to have a meet up before my operation.  This quickly snowballed from a few girls having lunch to twelve of us! 

It was really lovely to see everybody today as in the last few months I have seen very little of everyone as when most people are just going out, exhaustion has usually hit me and I am already in bed!!

Anyway, here's a pic of the mutley crew this lunchtime:

After lunch, just before we were about to pay, Anita stood up, "oh no I thought"!!  However, Anita had written a poem for me!  It bought a tear to my eye!  I absolutely love it!!  Here is the poem:

FOR TRACY

You gave me a call – quite late at night,

Oh my gosh – you gave me a fright!

To say at your door, the Police had been knocking –

Your tests had come back…

And the results- they were shocking!

Pack up your bag, away you must whisk –

You have to leave NOW… you’re off to Treliske!

After many a test, and thorough check was done,

The Doc said ‘It’s your kidneys… you’ll need a new one’!

Then me and your Mum, went for some tests –

To try and find out, whose kidney is best?

They then chose your Mums, as her match was greater –

And you said to me ‘I might have yours later!’

You’ve spent many an hour on a hospital ward,

Test after test - you must’ve been bored!

Your attitude and strength, has sure seen you through –

You’re stubborn, and wilful,

But that’s what makes you!

Your ‘Blog’ has been a most interesting read,

Charting your journey – a long one, indeed.

The road to recovery, now lies ahead –

But still yet more time in a hospital bed.

You’ll be there on Tuesday – both you, and your Mum,

Feeling apprehensive, about what is to come.

But please do not worry, as I’m sure it’s all fine –

You‘ll soon be in Helston, and ‘down town’ to dine!

To me, you have been such a good friend –

I’ll be ‘over the moon’ when you’re ‘on the mend’.

We’ll be old in Helston – with our blue Mac’s to wear –

With more than a little grey in our hair!

We’ll look back at the times we have had,

With you as my friend -

I have been so glad…

And now, in conclusion – what remains to be said,

I finish my ditty (without going red),

I’m sure that I speak for the whole of the room,

When I say Tracy….

‘PLEASE GET WELL SOON!’

Thanks for today guys, it was lovely for you all to come out and treat me to lunch!  Next time we all go out, it'll be the old me with bags of energy and I'm going to hold you all to that idea of going to Raze The Roof!!
