Monday 30^th July

I really think that with the amount of blood tests they have given me over the last few weeks, all of the ‘transfusion’ benefits have been cancelled out!

An hour in hospital this morning having ANOTHER test showed a slight increase in my clotting platelets (69) and I’m just above the border line in the white cell department, however neither is sufficiently respectable enough to receive any chemo this week!

So that means…………..more time for tennis and swimming, and resting of course! 

I met my friend LW in town and got treated to a birthday lunch at the Art Centre, (and very nice it was too), before I came home for a bit of R& R (and Olympic watching).

With great excitement I drove to AdeF’s house and played tennis at 4pm, truly enjoyable and some very funny ‘moments’ with SC and FP, the tennis wasn’t bad either…

Feeling so lucky to be receiving yet more birthday gifts throughout the day, and my cards now number 37!! All very proudly displayed in my kitchen, thank you.
