Didn’t realise how long it was since I last wrote. Just a quick entry as I’m off to bed shortly. I have a cold at the mo and went into hospital today to get my chest checked as I am coughing- but all seemed OK. Am hoping I can get over it without the dreaded antibiotics. Having appointments every two weeks at the moment. My recovery is going a bit slowly, with the various routine blood counts still on the low side and very variable. No real explanation - possibly as I had such a hefty lot of chemo before my second stem cell gathering - I didn’t feel fully recovered before I had the transplant.
The aching has been very bad - don’t know whether it’s the medication or over exertion. Today I took a paracetemol for the first time, which helped - and have been taking it very easy over the weekend. Felt very low for a couple of days, but a bit more cheerful today, despite the cold! Bob took me to the library yesterday for the first time, and I have already nearly got through 3 books in a day and a half! (Read at night too when I can’t sleep).
Well, will update again when I feel a bit better. Thanks for the various messages - much appreciated.
