sent home
...Got sent back home yesterday evening with a box full of medicines. Still no neutrophils, so still walking the minefield. Body ravaged (!) from last chemo and taking a long time to recover. Frozen shoulder freezed hard. Have been given physio exercises, but agony to do. Still waiting for mri scan... yawn. Hopefully can now stay at home and quietly rebuild before final treatment. Autumn arrived in my garden...though still individual splashes of colour and morning glory still glorious, but much smaller flower heads. Squirrels everywhere. Next door holly bush heavy with red berries. Trees starting the big shake off...crows cawing. Big grey skies sweeping over south east london. Love how autumn smells. Big match tonight.

Welcome home. Rest and enjoy this lovely sunshine that is healing in itself!
ReplyDeleteHave fingers crossed that you can stay in Forest Hill & would love to come up when you are feeling up to it.ANY requests? love Lx
Great news to hear you are home again. Even though you may still not be feeling great, at least you are in your own cosy and comfortable surroundings.
ReplyDeleteAre you allowed visitors yet or are we too much of a germ risk?
Hope to see you soon, lots of love

ReplyDeleteall sounds to much of a nightmare for you. I did join your temperature club this week with raging temp too. Week off work with Flu and chest infection! We are only a 'hop skip and jump' from each other but neither of us can do any of those!
Take great care and glad you are home to the delights of changing of the colours.Jack
Glad to hear you're home. I hope it sticks this time! Autumn has arrived in Ohio, too. Beautiful leaves and copious rain. The boiler guy is down in the basement as I write this checking to make sure Old Faithful continues to be so. Fingers crossed...
ReplyDeleteReceived news earlier this week that I'm officially on the Bone Marrow Donor Registry. I may have mentioned before that I can't give blood because of how long we lived in the UK - I might have mad cow! - but for some reason they'll still take my marrow. Between you and my brother in law who had Hodgkins a couple of years ago I figured doing this instead made sense. They send emails here and there which make me think of you. I do hope you get better without resorting to something so dramatic, but it's nice to know there's that option if you need it!
