Great news everybody! Yesterday I had the big exams I have every three months, and lo and behold one of them shows my cancer is in remission! Some parts have disappeared, the rest has strongly diminished. I've gone through all stages of joy and relief, which included vibrating at such a high frequency the doctors told me I had to relax or they couldn't do the other exam. Then I came home and crashed. Goodbye adrenaline, my old friend.
Other highlights of the past few days include one of the doctors, the one who operated on me a few months back, telling me he could never forget me because I'm such a great person he looks up to me and my strength. Which left me blabbering and blushing for half an hour at least. That was so unexpected and so nice!
Then, on the evening before the exams I saved my family's life! We were all sitting in the kitchen, watching tv, and I started feeling weird and it hurt between my eyes. I ran to check the hob and there was gas leaking out. We opened all windows, and sat in the cold night air breathing it in for a while. My aunt got really scared, and now she insists on buying one of those thingies that can tell when there's a gas leak. I'll see if I can get one on amazon. She also called me her guardian angel, and I haven't stopped smiling since. ^^
In fandom news, I binge-watched all of Legends of Tomorrow, and it was surprisingly much better than the reviews I had read said! The first season suffers from a very boring villain, and that Kendra and Carter storyline, but other than that I thought it was intriguing and funny, and there were a couple of plot twists there that had me shouting at the screen. With the second season we got much better villains (one of my favourite villains ever, let's face it) and Sara got an even larger role, so I'm as happy as I can be with the direction the show has taken. Plus I really love Amaya, and I hope that cameo in episode 9 means a certain someone is coming back to the show for good.
I've also started watching Prison Break, super late, I know, and so far I'm really intrigued. I started watching it because of Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, but I'm really enjoying everything about it. I have to say I'm a bit puzzled they did four seasons of it, considering the premise should cover one season at best, but hey, I'm only at episode four, so what do I know? *shrugs*
So yep, it's been a pretty eventful week for me. My cousin comes back from Ireland tomorrow, and on sunday we're going to see Rogue One together, and then have sushi. We did the same thing last year, almost to the day. I had just started chemo, I was still hurting everywhere and I'd just lost my hair. A couple of days later I got surgery for the cvc. It was as tiring as climbing a mountain, but I was so ecstatic to be out of the house for something other than being in the hospital. So now it's our December tradition to celebrate how far I've come: watch a Star Wars movie, have sushi, and this time nothing is going to hurt! \o/

Quel medico ha una gran ragione, sei un mito!
Ommadonna il gas :/ Sono in accordo col messaggio sopra: fornello con la sicura.

Poi adesso arriva pure il Natale, hai visto il tempismo!

Sai che in Svizzera i piani cottura a gas non esistono praticamente? Qui usano praticamente tutti l'elettrico, hanno impianti potentissimi nelle case e quindi hanno tutto che va a corrente. Devo dire che la cosa è tranquillizzante, e il tuo incidente me lo conferma... in Italia non so quanto convenga avere un piano di cottura elettrico, più che altro per via dei costi, ma i piani di cottura a induzione sono FAVOLOSI.
Star Wars + sushi? ARRIVO

Definitely a good idea to get a gas sensor thingy!

Date: 2016-12-19 08:20 am (UTC)Mamma mia, chissà che spavento quello del gas! Compratevi subito un sensore, mi raccomando! E nel frattempo cercate di chiudere la valvola di sicurezza ogni volta che non state cucinando, tenendola aperta solo quando vi serve e poi richiudendola subito. Noi facciamo così, almeno siamo tranquilli. Ci vuole solo un po' di abitudine!
Nei prossimi giorni ti chiamo per farti gli auguri. Un abbraccione.

Date: 2016-12-24 04:42 pm (UTC)Il sensore alla fine non l'abbiamo preso, causa casini diversi che poi ti dirò. Al momento abbiamo risolto chiudendo il gas ogni volta che lo usiamo.

E mamma mia cosa avete scampato con il gas! :X Nel frattempo hai trovato qualcosa di utile su Amazon?
no subject
Date: 2016-12-24 04:43 pm (UTC)Macchè, quindi stiamo chiudendo il gas continuamente. Ovviamente io me ne dimentico costantemente, quindi ogni volta che voglio farmi un the finisco a fissare il fornello per dieci minuti chiedendomi perchè non si accende.
