day 3

Slept until 4 this morning, then woken up for obs and to have first 24 hour chemo bag changed. Had a bit if a rash so taken off for a few hours to monitor the situation. This will have the effect of knocking back the finish time for the first treatment.I still have 6 x 12 hour bags to go, so it will be Wednesday morning at the earliest before we are done. Bum.

08.00 the breakfast of champions. Tea toast, reddy brek & these bad boys. Non nom.

Lovely visit from family last night. Marvellous Mother-in-law Christine, with her local insider knowledge of the UHNS, cased the joint and found it to her satisfaction. She also provided the below reference material, should it be required.

Who knew?

More later.

11.47 should say that I am typing this all in my phone so you will excuse any chubby-fingered spelling mistakes.

Still waiting for the doc to give the ok to get back on the chemo. It is delaying things but might make the change-over time (every 12 hours) drop at a more conveniant time(ie not 3 am).

I'm very aware and grateful for everyone's thoughts and support both here, with texts and on Facebook. It really opens up the means of communication and makes everyone feel close by. It means that I'm not just hanging round for visiting hours for a bit of company. Face-timing Keeley & the kids is wondrous. Even having to stare up their noses.

12.10 pm- back on the stuff now. The temporary disconnection has allowed me to have a shower which felt like just about the best thing ever. Next change at 1ish tomorrow morning, then only 5 left this session . On & Up.

Today's 5 at 1

A quirky batch I 'm sure you'll agree.

Just been asked by one of the nurses if anyone's told me I look like some geezer called Mark Wright off TOWIE.

No, was my polite, yet terse reply.

Just noticed that the dates gave got a bit messed up. Not sure how. Can't change on phone, will hopefully be able to tart up and re-edit when I'm home, along with very distressing use of random fonts and sizes.

Blimey, this TOWIE thing might go viral. Sarge has created another maelstrom of Photoshop genius . I 'm the one on the right by the way, with the better tattoos!
