Tuesday 29th July

Fifty three years ago my six year old brother and four year old sister were getting excited, not about my birth, but the fact they were getting BUNK BEDS....... and not a lot has changed......

I have been sooooo spoilt!

1 pair of beautiful gold and diamond heart earrings
1 homemade towelling robe
1 bottle of sparkling wine
1 helium balloon
1 pair of socks
1 beach bag
1 mug
2 towels
2 candles
2 scarves
2 spa vouchers
2 bouquet of flowers
2 Jugs (why is that funny?.....stop laughing)
2 pot plants
2 cheques
3 bottles of 'smellies'
5 sunflowers
30 birthday cards
loads of good wishes on FB

And I'm sorry if I've forgotten anything as I've had a lovely day and been very spoilt!

I also had..........
1 blood test
1 injection (GCSF)

Unbelievably my white cell count has gone up to 1.49! And on the plus side the doctor said my red blood cell was excellent 13.3 - and had I not been 'banned' I could be a blood donor!!

He also said when asked that it was possible my bone marrow was still sulking from the chemo 18 months ago..... and I could have a lingering infection that I have been unaware of- a possible slight damage to the area of the small intestine/large intestine during the operation could have something 'smouldering' in there...sounds great...

During our conversation re side effects and diet etc, he did ask if there had been any diabetes or thyroid problems,  (my mum had an underactive thyroid) so I'm also being tested for Vitamin B12. Plus I asked for my CA125 to be tested... although dreading that particular result tomorrow.

We enjoyed this afternoon out at St Ouen..... a swim in the East this morning, and the West this afternoon... lovely

Thank you to EVERYONE who sent me birthday wishes/cards/presents etc, I am 'lucky' !!
