I'm still here!

In case you're wondering, I'm still here, although there's not much of me left as I've now lost the rest of my hair, part of my eyebrows and I have no eyelashes on my lower lids.  If I had seams, I be falling apart at them!

This will be a short one as I don't have the energy or brain power now to write too much, or in fact to do anything much at all.

I had dose number 2 of the double poison last week as scheduled, all went well, they are very pleased with my progress, so much so that they want to keep going with this heavy duty stuff for another 2 sessions.  Next week, as well as a good dose of poison, I'll be re-scanned, MRI'd (god help me, is there no end to the torture!) ultra-sounded and CT'd.  All in a good cause, to see how the tumor has responded to this horrible treatment.  Let's hope it has responded well.

So, aside from sleeping my way through afternoon TV, I am now adept at giving myself injections!  I managed to get over my fear of sticking a needle into myself and was able to do the necessary jabbing and plunging to get the immune system boosting drug into me.  When I was finished, the supervising nurse said "Congratulations! You've done an injection, you're now a fully qualified nurse!"  Wait till I tell Nurse Mary....

Once again I haven't been outside since I was at the hospital, but I haven't missed it yet, and the weather is horrible, so who wants to go outside anyway?

While I was confined to the couch, I was in the expert hands of two of my sister-in-laws Michele and Suzanne, who very kindly took it in turns to look after me.  The food was great, but they need to brush up on their bedside manner.  I never realized they were so bossy!  They've obviously been hanging round my brothers for too long.  I had to ask permission to get off the couch to go to the bathroom!  And I couldn't deviate on my return route either, or there would be questions.  One of them even pretended to have no shoes so that she couldn't leave the house and leave me alone in case I got off the couch.  (There was some story about a boot with a broken zip, replacement boots being purchased, which subsequently also had a broken zip, and no replacement for those pair to be found!  Several phone calls were made, a third pair were sourced, Tall Kevin was dispatched for them, only to have to pay over the odds, more phone calls then strongly worded letters of complaint were sent to the store.  All that just to make sure I stayed on the couch!!??  Exactly, I don't believe a word of it either!)

That's about all I can manage today.  So it's back to the couch for me.  Unfortunately, I never seem to be able to have it all to myself, I always have to share...
