big old sigh of relief...4 rounds of poison chemo cocktails /5 months of hospital and all the bleeping baggage that goes with it..summer long gone, autumn arrived, russet leaves and 4pm sunsets. This nightmare has an end in sight. Finally. Am at home chemo exhausted and laying flat out, but the joy of knowing that there is (hopefully) no more chemo to come and that maybe I am fixed, fills me like a ballon! I have still to loose all my white blood cells /neutrophils / and immune system will zero out in the next couple of days - so not out of danger yet - but hopefully will get through these next 3 weeks of minefield crossing without anything too disastrous happening. I am determined not to spend too much more time on samaritan ward...Luigi back home, cooking sausages with homemade italian tomato sauce, mash, and purple sprouting broccoli...cat curled in her basket, purring hard, washing machine tumbling, tv muttering, dark wild windy night outside. Sometimes the sounds of home are just perfect!
thanks for all messages and long enduring support from all followers around the globe - your presence has really helped me to get through this tough time. i really really appreciate it. A presto tutti. x
♥♥ a big hug! ;)

So so glad for you! Your post made me cry, but in a good way. The description of you curled up at home with all of your creature comforts is just perfect. It's a small thing, but I am so glad I know what your place looks like so I can picture you all there. Just make sure you STAY THERE! No more trips to the hospital, if at all possible, missy. I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteMuch much love, and many virtual hugs and kisses.
