I am now having a course of injections ( 1 a day for 5 days ) to build up my white blood cells and to prevent me from getting too low a blood count so hopefully I will be hospital - free this time round. I was asked if I wanted to do my own injections ( are you kidding!!) I politely declined the offer and my fantastic friend Janet( who is a practice nurse) has been round every day to poke holes in me.(That's the sign of true friendship!)
I seem to have been a little more tired this time around - whether that's the chemo, or the fact I have been doing quite a lot - who knows?
I went to a retirement tea party at Avon house School on Thursday, a cream tea at Lorraine's (a teacher at Staples Road) on Friday, slept most of Saturday morning and then to my friend Claire's 'hen' meal on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, we went for a lovely walk in the forest
(thank you to whoever put that pub there, just when I was beginning to flag) and then I went into school on Monday to sort out Sports Day. On Tuesday I made it to the cricket club for the sports and it was a brilliant day. (I think I may have at long last learnt how to delegate)
ON WEDNESDAY I WAS VERY TIRED!!!!!
I am now taking it easy again so have time to update you all.
I forgot to tell you last time, that the wig that I have, has a name. (Please note; I didn't choose it - it's the name of the style) She is called Audrey. (see what I mean?) Now I am racking my brains to try to remember whether I have any friends called Audrey, but don't think I have, so I can be rude without offending too many people, AUDREY......... I ask you.............I 'm not sure if it's named after Hepburn, Forbes- Hamilton or the plant from Little Shop of Horrors! Those of you who have seen her, please keep that answer to yourself!! Anyway she is doing quite well although she was not allowed out on Sports Day. It was a touch windy and I felt very sure she would have had a mind of her own and would probably have flown off into the middle of the obstacle race. ( Never work with children, animals or hair pieces!)
I am feeling very strange at the moment as it builds up to the end of term. It's normally a great time at school although extremely busy and very tiring. I am sad to be missing the class productions, open evening, assemblies, and the general fun things that happen at this time of year. I also feel very guilty as I would normally be doing my fair share of all the hard work but have left it to all the others. I hope that they will save me some jobs that can be done from the comfort of my armchair ready for September.
Not much more to update you with I don't think, so I will catch up with you all soon. Gilly x
