My Life after a
Larygectomy
2011 started very cold and I spent
most of the time indoors, trying
to be a proper housewife: making
soup, dusting, hoovering etc. By
the end of January I thought, ‘what
are you doing?’ so off I went to a
dog show - and won a first prize. I
was also having chemo at Christies
with some lovely nurses and my
Consultant ‘Prof Timothy Illidge’
who definitely does not think I am
normal!
March was approaching fast. There
was a lot of cleaning teeth, filing of
nails, brushing, shampooing and
conditioning and of course I do
mean ‘the dog’ Zac, as it was time
for CRUFTS. Zac did very well and
got a 2nd in his class. I was overjoyed
and walked on air for the rest of the
day. We attended a lot of shows
during the year going up and down
the country and he has done very
well. He is now going to be with the
‘big boys’ as he is now two so we are
keeping our fingers crossed.
