Yesterday morning I was hooked up to the drip again for a couple of hours and then had the pump installed for the rest of the week. Blood tests showed that my platelet count had not dropped very much, so Round #2 could go ahead.
No fuzzy head this time. Sleepless night last night, the same as last time. Jigsaw almost finished. Tonight I'll probably sleep like a log.
Last time my voice was croaky for the first few days, but then it went back to normal. It's croaky again today, but hoping the same will happen.
I don my celebrancy hat again this Saturday for a wedding at Athol Hall, near Taronga Zoo at Mosman. My friend, Kerry, will drive me there and act as assistant - I'm very grateful for that. And next week - one on Friday and one on Saturday - both in Wollongong. I won't be wearing the pump then, so won't need a helper so much.
It's nice to be able to continue with my celebrancy practice. Outfit has been organised to conceal the pump. And if I lose my hair, brides are OK with me wearing a hat. The next wedding is on 1 April in Margaret River. I'm going for a week with the groom's parents - off chemo week. His Mum's a nurse - my insurance policy!
The Hopemobile has gone to its storage home for a little while - but not for long :)

You sure lead a busy life, don't you. Are you sure you can fit it all in?
ReplyDeleteI believe that you will love the Margaret River area. You are seeing more of Australia than I.
All I'm doing is going to Grenfell, next weekend, where I will see some mutual friends.
Love from Jan.
