At the end of last week I developed a tickly throat and a slight chest cough.
Unfortunately, I seem to have passed it on to Kitten and she is now suffering with a chest infection.
Dr. Swordfish's thermometer gives her a reading 37.9 celsius, so nurse Kitten is now under orders to rest and she had to take the day off and go to the Doctor's.
Although my condition is mild by comparison I also paid a visit to the doctor and phoned the Marsden to keep them informed of both the current situation and my on-going, though much reduced, tinnitus. The doctor was happy that my situation was ok and I relayed this to the Marsden but they called me back to say that they would like me to go in for a check up.
So, it's off to the medical day unit again tomorrow for an 11 am blood test and check up.
I am only one week away from my final cycle of chemotherapy before the operation and I hope that it will commence on time and with me in good health. If I said that I was looking forward to it then I would be telling porkies as I expect it to be a little more gruelling than what I have encountered thus far.
Far more important though is the fact that it is the last opportunity for my body to continue the healing process before being subjected to the surgeon's knife.
"Shrink, you naughty little tumour. Shrink".

ReplyDeleteSwordfish has seen a weakness in my armour and slowly but surely, the gadgets have been sneaking in through the door.

Wednesday saw the arrival of a super thin tv to replace the perfectly good, healthy, nothing wrong with it tv in the lounge.
Having crawled out of bed this morning - cough cough - to attempt the school run I arrived home just as Mr Postie was delivering a Blue-ray home cinema system! How did that one sneak by me? I am told there is a docking place for my Ipod.
I don't have an Ipod.
Ah! But old Swordy does!
I am reliably informed that multi room arrives friday.
I need a lie down.
