Friday 3rd July
I was on my bike at 7.50am this morning (literally), I even
managed to transverse two parishes! Met a fellow parishioner at Les Platons (MJ),
good excuse for a ‘rest’! It gives such
a good buzz when you’re freewheeling downhill although I did have the les vent
aux chu (Jerrais, although probably misspelt!)
My daughter came with me into hospital for the blood test,
and that was as entertaining as ever…
Although It’s never happened before they ‘lost’ my bloods, somewhere
between ‘the pod’ on the 7th floor and the Path lab, an hour later a
2nd lot of blood taken and in the meantime Dr H is called on the
phone to ‘discuss’ my chemo on Wednesday, which actually I am now NOT having,
despite the bloods being just about ‘good to go’!
I think that is because the last time I had chemo was June
22nd, too much time has passed, and my hair has started to grow
again!! I am really, really confused, I don’t have results from Mammogram; I just
seem to have lost a grip on what is actually happening as regards my treatment!!
I do feel sorry for the department, they are so stretched
with patient/nurse ratios and trying very hard to compensate, it’s just not
easy for anyone.
I did see my daughter’s friend in Oncology who sadly has had
a re occurrence of her cancer and is due to go to London for heavy duty chemo
in an isolation unit- that upset me, It’s not right for an 18yr old or any
youngster in the prime of her life to go through that…
We visited the puppy, she is full of herself and the only
one to escape the box, (our work is cut out), and although it brightened the
day I needed ‘time’ out’. So I took myself to the beach (and then talked for 2
hours to Trinity folk!!)
I have managed to ‘book’ an appointment with the Doctor at
11am on Tuesday, so hopefully hubby can come and try and make sense of it all….Until
then I shall ‘Keep my pecker up!’
“It is
courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendour.
Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.”

I'm not suprised you're confused-hope you get the answers on tuesday. Good to hear you are making good use of your bike-there's no stopping you!! xx
ReplyDeleteYou must be so disappointed about chemo, especially when bloods OK, which is what you have been waiting for for weeks. Grill all concerned on Tuesday. You've had 4 children, I'm sure you can handle a pup,LOL!XXX
