dates

not sure what's going on with the dates on this weeks bloggage, I wrote yesterday's at 5.30 in the morning (the 17th) but it is listed as the 16th. No worries, it's all in the right chronological order.

Got home yesterday at 12ish. All done, then back to radio for my 3 o'clock slot (8/30), then a quick dash up to ward 103 to be officially let out. Bit of tea then slept until about 7 this morning.

Touch wood, the pain after this op is much less, so I shouldn't have any trouble lying flat for my radio at 11 this morning. The effects of the chemo are building up though. We think partly because I couldn't take in any fluids on wednesday because of the op, and consequently didn't allow my body to flush out the chemo nastiness, I came out in a nasty rash last night. Tablets have sorted it for now. Also, my mouth is becoming a bit of a disaster area, very dry, a nasty green(!) coating on my tongue, so I think we are entering the tricky part of the game.

Anyway, enough of my woes. Looking forward to the start of a nice relaxing Easter weekend.

To cheer us all up, here's a picture from my old college mate Wendy which shows me in hairier times at our degree ceremony at Trentham in 1993.
