Up and down

Had a good giggle during treatment with Lucie and Kerrie.  L camed armed with games which didn't leave the bag.  We entertained the whole ward and in true fashion my laugh could be heard in the corridors.  It was nice to see other people smile when we are all having the same treatments as we could sit and be sad but what's the point.  I think the place went very quiet when we left.  The had trouble with my veins and couldn't get one in the arm at all so ended up going in by my elbow which was a lot better and I didn't get the pain or the coldness I have had with the first 2 treatments.

Well it's not been so bad. Looked pretty grey on Friday and had a sleepless night but I expected it this time.  Had a relatively good day and Kerrie drove me to Virginia Water.  A bit of a comedy act with K driving my car.  I put the sat nav on for her but not sure why I bothered as she ignored it and I still had it tell her where to go.  We bickered like 2 old grumpy women there and back but thankfully we have known each other for so long it didn't matter.  Brought back memories or when she would drive for me in Spain when I was a OPC.  I have to admit I was worried about her looking after me as Kerry's diet consists of wraps and coleslaw but she is doing a fab job cooking my veggy meals and they are excellent.  Thanks for the tip Helen, Vegan meals for one is coming up trumps.

Today hasn't been so good, just felt worn out and haven't moved for most of the day.  I did manage a bit if weeding and a gentle walk with Bongo.  The sickness is worse this time but the wobbles  and dizziness are not so bad. I am hoping that maybe the side effects from the injection won't be as bad.

Ben popped over with the boys and Zach came to have his hair shaved off.  We did have a tear but I am so proud of that boy.  It is such a brave thing to do and he's has raised £546 so far and his target is £750. Luke did want to shave his but Ben and I thought it wasn't such a good idea as tomorrow morning he would have one of his tantrums and refuse to got to school.

Please help Zach get his target www.justguving.com/zachkench or text 70070 ZACH53 £?
