So I am back at home resting with a huge bag of medicines and a big chart telling me what I have to take and when. I have a mouthwash where I have to mix two different coloured vials together and use 7 times a day! Tomorrow I will have to give myself an injection that targets my bone marrow and helps it to produce more red and white blood cells. The nurse told me that it is working well as my blood count was within the normal range on both blood tests. I am glad that I am on Mike's work insurance as each injection costs a thousand pounds!
I am not sure if it was the chemo or the recent bout of partying that is making me feel tired, but the parties were so worth it. Last week I managed to meet Claire and Scottie who were over from Australia with their gorgeous daughter Chloe. On Friday I went to the teachers' night out where we danced the night away with our 'dance instructor' called Desmond. Then on Saturday I gatecrashed an old friend Aaron's party which was so amazing and I actually got to DANCE IN THE RAIN to a live band in the most amazing setting with thatched roof cottages, marquees and of course some amazing friends from softball, some whom I haven't seen for ages and ages. In fact we have been invited to gatecrash "Azstock" again next year. (Thanks Aaron - top quality party!) Unfortunatley I gave so many hugs away and on each unsuspecting person, I left a piece of me in the way of a little lock of hair! Yes, the inevitable is happening and I am loosing my locks rapidly. In fact the hair is falling as rapidly and persistently as the summer rain we are having. So I will very soon be parading around modelling an assortment of hats and of course my Jason Sorbie wig - watch this space for more photos soon! I am planning on meeting Mike at the airport in my green wig on Friday when he returns. (shh don't ruin the surprise!)
