Released on good behaviour

The doctor said I "looked too good to be here" (I had been hyperactive for the last 2 days and going to sleep after midnight every night) and so I was released based on good behaviour! However, they switched my medication from IV to oral antibiotics so that I can take that yucky stuff at home, twice a day until the weekend.

I have been malting like a fluffy cat in Spring. I lost 90% of my hair in 2 days and my bed looks like the floor of a barber shop. Daddy got hayfever because of my hairs everywhere. In the end, we got one of my favourite nurses to shave the rest of it off this morning, so now I look like a young monk!

My Neutrophils count seems to be rising now. My doctor says if my Neutrophils count goes up to 1 by Friday (the bottom of the normal range), my next round of chemo will be brought forward to 24 May. That is the reward I get for doing so well on the first round! I will have to do a few of my favourite things between now and then, like watching planes taking off and landing from near the airport.

Thanks Bee, for picking up my singlets and baby cereal (it's one of the few things I was able to eat in the last week).

Aunty Sharon, what a good idea to name my 10 pillows. I have soft and firm pillows, big and small ones too. Anyone has any suggestions on the names?
