Guys Wednesday 11 August 5.30pm
Back into Guys – Sunday night was a bit like preparing for return to boarding school… Two days worth of chemo and getting that familiar wacked over the head feeling… sleeping a lot. Have had a picc line put into my arm, which they can take blood from and give me anitbiotics and chemo, so fingers crossed that doesn’t get an infection. Couldn’t bear more needles and canulas. Best news is that the I have got cytonegenetic remission. This is the complicated medical stuff, but anyway, its all good and everyone very pleased that I have had such a positive response to chemo. Including me. Big time. Am back on the open ward which is so very noisy!. There are workman on the floor above drilling and banging from 9am – docters and nurses rushing around, endless bells bleeping and radios/tv blaring. Not exactly restful, but I seem to have an amazing capacity to switch off from it all. Just the drilling that sears right through… Managed to get out for a short walk with Luigi this afternoon. Good to feel real fresh air and hear the sounds of the city. Miss all things home: Lilly, food, garden, views etc, but hopefully this time round I wont be stuck inside for such a long haul. Thanks everyone again for comments and emails. Great to hear from you all. Back soon. Ciao Ciao

Better and better news Tessa! Am on my staycation for a couple of weeks - really enjoying being at home for an extended period - so really understand the desire to be snuggled up in familiar surroundings. Shall I post some earplugs??

ReplyDeleteGreat to hear the good news. I hope this stay is uneventful and that your worst complaint is the noise.
ReplyDeleteThings OK in Vegas. Taking a trip to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam with the girls today. I just hope nobody faints in the heat. We've had a rash of that already...
All the best,

They ought to open the Information Design Studio as a hospital ward, because that's what it sounds like in there half the time. Graphic Design ward - there are enough cases to fill that ward.
