Chemo 3 done

I just completed chemo 3 of the initial six, blood counts were good and tooth infection in remission so we were able to go ahead. This time I got the chief nurse Kirsty and she got the line in first time with no trauma which was excellent. One of the young ladies in the ward had four of here friends turn up for a "chemo party" with nice sandwiches and cheerful chat so we all joined in and the afternoon passed very easily. At the end of the treatment Lee and Poppy picked me up so we were able to show Poppy what goes on and introduce her to some of the other folks, this seemed to be interesting for her and lots of questions came out on the way home.

So far I feel fine as usual due to the steriods and the pretty powerful IV anti nausea treatment, if past experience is anything to go by Monday will be my slump day hopefully recovering to join in some phone calls to colleagues in Arizona Tue/Wed. The following week will be my "Easter holiday" from part time work ending in Chemo 4.

As we have just had the final electrical work done on the kitchen we can move back in filling cupboards and drawers then just wait for most of the painting which will be finished off next week. Finally done - we have a long list of deferred dinner parties to catch up on not to mention being able to use some of my time at home to get back into cooking proper meals for the family. It will be great to get the house back to normal something like normal! (and get my garage back to tinker with the car I am getting fed up with my tools being a mess and my books outside).

Our original plan was to go to the meeting in Flagstaff Arizona using air miles and get some skiing in this Easter, sadly that will be replaced with sorting kitchens and gardens if the weather holds out that might be OK actually !

Cheers
