Hi everyone, 

So yesterday was a beautiful family day, playing football with kids in garden, we had a tennis tournament and just lots of playing. I even cut the grass and loved every minute. 

Kristian fed his bearded dragon all on his own, he even managed to take each locust out and cover them in calcium, bear in mind these are alive insects bless him he is really looking after Jeffery (bearded dragon) really really well. 

So today it was Lyn's turn for a road trip with me hehe

 

We had to go for my blast of radiotherapy then had to wait for 2 and a half hours, before I could go to the ward for my Chemo, so the most exciting thing was we went to Starbucks and I drunk a full Latte yippee, and then we went for a walk around the museum gardens the sun was shining and it was just perfect chatting to my number 2 mum.

When it was time for me to go to the ward for my next lot of Chemo Lyn stayed with me we laughed a lot talked to the 2 other ladies that are on the ward with me, then it was time to start the treatment. The consultant came asked me lots of questions to make sure I was ready to go, she was quite shocked that I had cut the grass yesterday and thought I was doing really well, I'm trying so hard to keep going as long as I can, I hate feeling poo, well we all do if we are honest, but I'm sure the fresh air, the pump feeding is all helping and I even managed to eat a cheese sandwich, I never eat cheese sandwiches but because it's soft it's a easy food to get down. 

Here we go the Sister on the ward said first bag of fluid plus anti sickness, within a few minutes I started to feel funny, heat was raising up through my neck to my face, my ears were on fire and itching, the roof of my mouth began to itch, the air felt thick. I told Lyn I felt odd and a nurse walked past so I shouted her over and explained what was happening, she stopped the fluids and then the next thing 1 consultant came then another and another until there was 6 consultants and a couple of sisters and a couple of nurses all around me  and me and Lyn thinking what the heck is happening. I was going in to anaphylactic shock, I had, had a reaction to the anti sickness drug ......... trust me ....... anyway I was given some drugs and I felt drunk hehe, cheap night that was haha.  

Within the hour I was coming round but there was no way Chemo was happening today so I have to stay in hospital tomorrow night too but I'm ok about that it's for my own good. I have been looked after so well by everyone here amazing humans. 

Lyn has stayed with me until 9.30pm and we've had a lovely day bless her, she is even coming back tomorrow to be with me how lovely is that. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family, and all you around me supporting me. Everyone is so wonderful to me and I can't thank you all enough, no words can ever be enough for everything xxxxxx

So I say Night Night to you all

Lots of love
