Hi Folks,
Just a quick blog to say my fever broke last night, cramps stopped of their own accord and I drifted off into a fantastic deep sleep for about five hours, what a relief.
I woke up this morning feeling fine, even made a work call for 30min on a personnel issue that needed some historical input from me, and I am still feeling fine !!
Still taking it easy, getting lots of fluids, breakfasting on yogurt and fruit smoothie like a sensible chap before heading off to the hospital for the maintenance of my Hickman line - they have to bleed and declot it to ensure it stays clear, totally painless and a chance to read my book now my body is not rebelling. The weather is terrible so I have booked a taxi for the trip, that is indulgent but gets me door to door directly. If I drive or someone gives me a lift its actually a lot more fuss and parking and walking around so this is the way to go on a day where the rain is sideways.
Cheers for now, just wanted to pass on the good news
Part 2
Surprisingly the day passed on the same note as the blog this morning all systems are good (or good enough) and I even managed to fix the garage door which had been bent out of shape by the heavy storms which continue outside. So things seem to be on the mend from chemo 1 properly now (which is just as well as my counts will be hitting peak bottom levels around today so this is my most infection prone stage, they should climb pretty well up through next week ready for chemo 2 on the 25th. So alls well here and lots of pottering around to be done.
Have a nice weekend
Regards
Gerry

Hello Gerry -
Glad to hear there are peaks as well as the valleys!
Sorry I did not get a chance to call or stop by when I was just in LIV, but sounds like you were "occupied" anyway. I didn't make it into Endinburgh at all this time. Just sequestered in the Lomand suite and back and forth to the Dalmahoy, with one dinner at Champany Chop House in Lilithgow.
Quite windy on Thurs, so I got to EDI earlier than originally planned to avoid missing connection in LHR. All's well as I made it home before midnight and was able to make meetings in the US today.
Keep your chin up - I might need your assistance re-installing the rebuilt engine in the GT in the spring... As soon as I get around to the reassembly, that is!
All the best,
David
Hi gerry
Happy new year! Great to hear that round one is almost over and you are heading into round 2 in pretty good shape.
Off to the US next week for more PRM discussions, shame you won't be there.
Continue with the smoothies and juices - have you tried adding garlic and celery, I hear they are very good, but can't bring myself to try! I have muliple lotions and potions that I add on occasion - I am still stuggling to use some black algae powder (the name escapes me at the moment), that is supposed to be great for something, only tastes rubbish.
Anyway take care and best wishes to you and your family.
