Sunday 18 July 22.50pm

First sign of some red blood cell regeneration…great news. Still being drip fed a sack of iv antibiotics for liver and gall bladder, but seems all that too is going in the right direction. Starting to feel a bit more like normal, which makes me realise how crap I have been feeling. Spent an hour with Luigi in the Lavender Square this afternoon. Fresh air, blue sky and summer wind rustling through fat green plane tree leaves. I lay flat on a park bench, sunshine on my face watching airplanes flying overhead while at ground level, pale brown pigeons with bright red feet scuttling about. Now looking like a bald headed eagle. Lots of hair gone, just patches left. Waiting for some clippers to shave the rest off. Tonight I sleep drip-free. Hoorah!

  1. So glad things are looking up, and that you had a chance to go out for a while. I hope the trend in the right direction continues...

    Was out in the garden a good bit today myself, despite the heat here in CLE. Cutting things back, weeding, and picking some veggies (mainly squash and cherry tomatoes). We need some rain in the worst way, and may get it tonight.

    Thought of you over the weekend. I played in a bocce tournament in Little Italy with loads of Italian Americans and some real Italians, too. I hadn't ever picked up a bocce ball before, but it turns out I'm not too bad! Have you and Luigi ever played?

    All kinds of love and best wishes,

    TM

  4. I'm hoping by today (monday) you are feeling even better than yesterday. Its graduation day tomorrow for all our year 3 at LCC. I can't be there to gown up or drag up as i am off to cyprus tomorrow to see my sister. Who has just had a mastectomy but doing well. It doesn't rain...

    Keep fighting Tessa

    Great that you were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine, you are painting a wonderful picture of your time in the garden. Ours is all brown and sad, the veggies are rubbish however it appears that there will be loads of Greengages what joy.
