Monday 17th December

Less Ho Ho Ho and more No No No!!! Hospital visit and subsequent blood test revealed that all blood counts still dropping, platelets down to 38 now, still neutropenic at 0.6, and haemoglobin 10.1, white cells dropped from 1.9 to 1.7.... all pretty rubbish really.

Had the concerned doctor chat, and he decided that I should have the GCSF injection which boosts your bone marrow into making lots of white cells, (usually to the detriment of my clotting platelets - I can have a transfusion to counteract that!) but it is quite important that I have the chemo this week.

So I duly had the injection and have been given another appointment on Wednesday afternoon to have yet another blood test and then Chemotherapy.....

A dog walk and yoga class followed on from my confusing morning of constantly changing plans, and then after lunch I met up with SC and dog walked on Grouville beach.  It was a good walk and talk (for the dogs as well as us plus two hailstorms and a double rainbow later......

Met up with three friends this evening FB, JH, and CB for an early supper at Ransoms....

 "Two guys were out walking their dogs on a hot day, when they pass by a pub. The first guy says “Let’s go in there for a pint.” Second guy, says, “They won’t let us in with our dogs.” First guy: “Sure they will, just follow my lead.”
He goes up to the pub, and sure enough the doorman says, “I can’t let you in here with that dog.” He replies, “Oh, I’m blind and this is my seeing-eye dog.” The doorman says, “Ok then, come on in.”
The second guy sees this and does the same thing. He goes up to the pub, and the doorman says, “You can’t come in here with a dog.” He replies, “I’m blind and this is my seeing-eye dog.” The doorman responds, “You have a chihuahua for a seeing-eye dog?” The second guy stops for a second, and exclaims, “They gave me a chihuahua?”"
