Monday 10.04.2017 - Yesterday evening at approx. 9.30p.m. we arrived home after the most wonderful week on-board the our hired cruiser 'Radiant Emblem'. My sister and brother-in-law came with us and we have all returned home with a healthy glow! The beginning of the week was quite chilly but bright skies and the second half was bright sun shine, blue cloudless skies, Saturday and Sunday were both at times absolutely scorching! I have done so little all week being waited on hand and foot and I really didn't want to come home, I was so relaxed it was totally Wonderful - Brilliant - Amazing! Reno and Sam have been amazing making sure that our 'crew' , me and themselves all have had a Great Holiday.
This morning we were up fairly early to go for my blood test. Three attempts!! The first two on the inside of my elbow didn't want to let go of any blood - not even a droplet! - maybe it was something to do with the baileys I drank on holiday! (I wondered what that beige liquid was in the syringe LOL!!) - the nurse decided the back of my hand maybe a better option and she was right the blood flowed just as required! We have spent the rest of the day slowly unpacking and getting washing, shopping done etc. and wait for it..........booking next years cruise on the broads!
At approx. 5 p.m. the hospital rang which really put me on edge - but all was ok! I can have treatment tomorrow. Hooray, Yippee, Yeah!!!!!! My red blood cells are a bit low but as I feel so well my treatment can go ahead this time but once again the nurse told me that if my count goes any lower I will need a blood transfusion. Apparently Spinach, Watercress, Dried Apricots, and Dark Chocolate are all very good for me to help increase my iron (red blood cells) so guess what Reno has been and brought this evening!! He is a gem.
Now going to rest for the remainder of the evening so that I am all chilled out for treatment at 9 a.m. in the morning - I am a little apprehensive but Reno will be with me and Sam will be studying and waiting at home - so how can it not be ok with so much love around me, so many family and friends hold me in their thoughts everything is gonna be okay.
