last week on Friday it was daffodil day.My old school college street normal ran a fundraiser to raise funds for the Cancer society.At 11 00 am that day me and mum went down to watch some of the pupils and teachers get there heads shaved for cancer.Aaron Cruden also came down to get his head shaved and shave some students and teachers hair. Aaron Cruden donated 1000 dollars for Mr Kennedy the principal to get his head shaved of  and of course he did because you cant back down to 1000 dollars.4 kids,3 teachers my dad and 3 friends chad law, pods and Scott Robson got there heads saved of for cancer.overall it was a real good day as college street had raised 4000 dollars for cancer society, i think all the teachers and kids thoroughly enjoyed it.

Scooter tricks on the tramp

The other thing I like to do is play on the tramp on my scooter with it all foamed up.


That is when you take your wheels off and wrap foam around the forks and deck of the scooter. This stops wreaking the tramp.

Some of the tricks I can do are; tail whip, which is where you spin the frame of the scooter in a 360 round and land back on it.

A nothing, which is where you jump up in the air on your scooter and take your hands and feet off and land back on it.

A Barspin, is where you spin the bar 360 and catch it again.

School goes on...

While I’m not at school I have a teacher from the Central Regional Health School come and see me twice a week. Carletta has enrolled me in The Correspondence School. I will be doing English, Science and Math. She has taught me how to blog and taken me to library. I have just completed a math test that was mostly easy but got hard towards the end. I do math worksheets and go on Mathletics while we are waiting for my work from Wellington to arrive.

Weekend

This weekend I ended up in hospital with tonsillitis. I first found out I had it when I woke up with extreme pain in my throat. So off I went to the hospital where they poked and looked at me. They found a load of sand in my ear that must of got there after a night at the beach with Dad.


I had been having a good weekend I played soccer. My team won 17-0 to fielding. I scored a goal. I had my friend Tom staying while his parents were away.

However, was not in hospital for long and was sent away with antibiotics.

OH NO MY HAIR

This morning i woke up and guess what i looked at my pillow and i discovered that there was hair on my pillow.                       

The doctor had told me that it would take up to 2 weeks to start falling out and i didnt believe him but i guess he was right.

This morning i also finished my pills that i have been on for 15 days out of the 36 day. My next treatment wont be until the 6th of september where i have to go back up to auckland and they will give me some medicine through my port.

It started with a lump...

It started with a lump on my neck. Last year in October we decided to take a trip to city doctors. The doctor sent me home with a smile on my dial saying”It’s nothing to worry about, it’s just a swollen gland.”


However, nine months later I said to my Mum” I think this lump is getting bigger.” So we went to have an ultrasound. Which is a cold gel spread over the neck area with a hand held x-ray to look inside my body. The results came back that I had not one lump but six.

We went to see a specialist after that and he said “Harry I think it’s time to take a trip to the hospital and get it cut out.” So I did and they sent my lump away to the lab up in Auckland to get it tested. The following week it came back. It was positive I had a Cancer called Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Off we went to Auckland to start my treatment at Starship Hospital…
