The ten day check up went well.
All my body immune system tools are at normal levels and my haemoglobin levels are virtually back to normal (now 13.6 against normal range of 14-18). Remember that my haemoglobin levels dropped as low as 7.5, which is a "life-threatening" and transfusion level. Whilst I am still not feeling like climbing Everest I am feeling and looking a whole lot better than a few months ago and absorbing the chemotherapy without distress.
I had plenty of time to kill whilst I was waiting for a doctor to come on the ward so I visited Naughty Norman who was in the bed next to me when I had chemotherapy. When I saw him a week ago he was looking in rude health for someone who was 84 let alone someone who was 84 with cancer. He was poorly yesterday, but I sat and we chatted for half an hour.
When I eventually spoke to a doctor it was just to ask if I was ok, which I seemed to be, so dashed over to Notoplip and Sushi's picking up Kitten, Boogle and The Huffty "en route". Notoplip had paused the Manchester Utd v Chelsea game (ah the wonder of Sky +). What a beautiful victory.
Before all you Reds start going on about offside, what about Machieda's handball eh, I haven't heard any of you banging on about that!! The injustice of the offside was fantastic especially after the blatant penalty that should have been given against Neville for taking out Anelka but it's just great thinking about Sir Alex Ferguson spitting his tea everywhere.
Talking of football, we went as a family to Notoplip and D A Decorator's club yesterday for a 5 a side family day. The rain lashed down for the duration of the tournament and when we went home the sun came out.
Notoplip, D.A., Deano and "Badly in Need of a Haircut" were disappointed to finish runners up but quality can't always shine through when the pace has dropped to "running down the road trying not to drop your kebab levels". It was a dad's five a side competition and I guess that there were a few achey dads around today. Whilst Notoplip and I were watching the football today he had to get up off the sofa and walk around the room at regular intervals to ensure that complete seizure did not visit. As for me I was an interesting guest, spending most of my time dozing on the sofa.
What I didn't say in yesterday's post was that Kitten "expressed her displeasure" on Thursday evening because she feels that I have done too much. I promised to start taking it easy now that I have established a pattern.
Nearly time to help the kids eat their Easter Eggs. Calories are king
