Didn’t blog yesterday as I felt I had been hit over the head with a mallet. As well as varying chemo cocktails I am constantly have to swill down endless tablets: anti fungal, anti sick, anti-something or other, phosphate, calcium, oh yes, antibiotic, . shake rattle and roll. Hospital life is not one to hark after, though the staff are amazing, very calm friendly and unphazed by anything. I have a hickmam line set up in my chest – I look like a spare part for a washing machine. Those of you who don’t know what one is, I’m afraid it’s a google search, as too long to explain, but basically all things that have to go in to me (chemo / medicines etc) or come out of me (blood) are taken directly through the hickman line. They say it will eventually become my best friend. Ha!. Saves on endless needles though. Enough of medical information, it’s a bit too much detail, specially for the squeamish, which includes me.
Thanks for responses to blog. And too all of you who have stopped by to visit. I am still pretty much in the dark as to what is going to happened over the next few weeks. My guess is I will feel worse, more mallet hitting, as the chemo progresses. Don’t care really, as long as I get the result. Wimbledon and football. Normally I would be in seventh heaven, but the grading has slipped down to about 4th! Another blogget soon. Love to all who read. Ciao ciao.
Do you get break after the 10 days of chemo? Your new hairstyle looks cute by the way. is it ok to let Cassy, Zoe and Damon know about your blog?

Hey Gal- short hair is all the rage! And, after all it is summer...Teal xx
ReplyDeletehi tessa – piggy-backing on Teal's password. you were probably better off missing a sweltering degree show private view, and the manic preparations beforehand. but i will email you some pics of student screen-prints looking lovely in-situ. personally i have always been a
fan of short hair – minimum maintenance + i reckon you wear it well.
