Monday 7^th January 

My lovely pedigree springer spaniel is having her first season so this is a WARNING to the owners of all male dogs living in the Parish of St Martin. KEEP YOUR DOG AWAY FROM MY BITCH!!! 

She already had a narrow escape from a one eyed Bichon Frisé down in Gorey, who though he put up a valiant attempt, wasn’t entirely sure what it was all about, and found a springer spaniel puppy a bit too much to handle!

On a lighter note…… I feel much better today (thanks for all the good wishes), which is good as we had Inset today and I wanted to ‘show my face’ before the start the new term.

Hubby came with me for the blood test/results fiasco at the hospital this afternoon, which as it turned out was a bit of a non-event. Blood results showed that haemoglobin 10.1 (down a bit) White cells 2.7 (down a bit) Neutrophils 1.63 (down) Clotting platelets 186 (down a bit). They didn’t find anything else particularly out of order with the bloods- a slight rise in my CRP this is “C-reactive protein (CRP) is protein found in the blood, the levels of which rise in response to inflammation.” Which I guess would make sense, good news in that my CA 125 still shows 6 (ideally anything lower than 35 is good).

My CT scan is booked for 11.45 on 15^th January and appointment for the results on the 17^th……………..(that was me taking a big breath). 

Lastly I must apologise for the constant changes in the background display of the blog, I have had a special request today from SCr, who avidly looks forward to each ‘scene change’, and I wouldn’t want to disappoint……!!!
