Well wot can I say .............

Thank you all so much for your comments - especially you Jill n Bruv No2 - have just screamed with laughter think the nurse thought I was having another reaction to the ATG.

Yes had a bit of a reaction yesterday so didn't feel very well, surprisingly none of the symptoms Jill describe PMSL.

Feeling a much brighter little 'bunny' today ........ ummmmmm can ya get bald bunnies??

Had a bit of a shock this morning - saw a man outside my window ................ I'M ON THE 8TH FLOOR!!!! think he is ok and not a stalker - will let ya know lol

The staff here are fab - well they have to be for putting up with me!
And Carol for feeding and generally amusing the boys whilst I am in here and the other million and one things she does, sometime she does things in my house and it takes me weeks to notice lol - I would be absolutely lost without her - I hope Stuart or Julie - passes on or reads this message to her cos she is a *************star ************

Doctors just been round happy with me so thats good - still have a weight gain issue with all the fluids they are pumping into me but may not get a many fluids today and a more or that nice little injection to make me pee loadsssssssssssss!!!!! so that should drop a few kilo's (2.25 pounds to a Kilo ok :-) its all metric here lol.

Singing off for now Baldy Bunny P xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ummmm Rabbit for dinner............ PMSL!!!

Hi all

No - not really having rabbit for dinner - The ATG (a type of chemo stuff I'm having later) comes in 2 forms one contains horse and one contains rabbit.
Oh by the way just to clarify I ain't gotta eat it, its a rabbit by-product and I get it via a drip into my line, just in case someone thought otherwise lol - I'm having rabbit, not mt choice just the one im being given, I think I ordered sausages for my actually dinner - so don't think I will get confused!

Im am feeling ok just the normal crohn's stuff - no ill affects as yet from the chemo - but they are on the way, maybe by the weekend? who knows lol but I will be the first and I shall share my joy with you all lololol

Will try n update later after my rabbit n sausages n if no ill affects from the ATG!!
luv to all
Baldy P (but still with eyebrows - but not for long!!) xxxxx

and a hugeeeeeeee GOOD LUCK to Andy for 2moro!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Waiting Waiting Waiting!

Well not alot to report - except I have a dry socket lol my tooth cavity, so got some stuff n hopefully eventually it will heal and I can be transplanted - also picked up a bit of a sniffle - so definately not going in this weekend - maybe the next one (10th.)

But I have not been idle with Bruv No 2's help decorated the little hallway at the weekend and it does look rather nice - considering it was all bargin basement paint n paper from b&q - wallpaper £5 each (reduced from about £15-£20) and 2.5 litres of Dulux satin Wood paint for a pound!! reduced from about £30!! wey hey - happy days! also picked up 5 litres of silk emulision for £2 so may do the lounge next ............................. next year that is lol

Well should anything exciting or dramatic happen I shall let ya know.

The transplant due from platform ........

Is delayed!!!!

Had my tooth out - but the infection is still there so my transplant has been delayed as they don't wanna run the risk of it flaring up whilst Im having chemo - fair enough it is an unnecessary risk so maybe next week or the week after.

I had my Hickman line fitted on Wednesday and must thank the lovely Claire for arranging sedation cos that would have bloody hurt without it!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway feel a little like Frankenstein's monster with a tube in my neck and coming outtta my chest with 3 little cannula type things hanging off it lol - SO ATTRACTIVEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Only the bolt thru my neck is missing!

So I ran round like a looney for most of the week getting stuff sorted - and now I get a least another week to trash the house and start again lol.

Let ya know summat interesting when I do lol unless you got summat interesting to share with me?????????????

Baldy P xxxxxx :-)

Dental Issue ............ Grrrrrrr

My bloody abscess came back over the weekend and my dentist is not keen to touch it due to chemo - its never easy is it!
Got more anti-biotics - spent 4 hours at the hospital emergency dentist yesterday - oh wot joy! and gotta go back today to have the tooth removed this morning and more IV anti-biotics.
Also have an appt with Claire (transplant nurse) gotta drop off a 24 urine sample - wow I get to do some great stuff!! and Rachael (dietician) this afternoon - ummmmmm hair loss and tooth removal well that wont do the weight issue any good will it, better wear some heavy clothes lol.

I have had one or two strange looks wandering round with my bandanna's on - people who know me but not too well don't know about the treatment I have opted to go through have looked and kinda smiled oddly - almost sympathetically, haven't noticed anyone purposely avoiding me yet - thinking the worse and that I have cancer, its kinda a strange situation but I am sure it will happen, I suppose its an obvious assumption but still kinda strange.

My friends on the other hand have been great - shouts of 'Oi Tuffy' and 'oooh that reminds me I haven't had a boiled egg for ages' and various other things - they are all digging out their kids fuzzy felts to make me some eyebrows for when they fall out lol oh and just to clarify so far the ONLY place my hair has not started to fall out is my ............................... ARMS!
I know you are all dying to ask lol - but hey got another week of some serious chemo to come so suppose it will all go then.
Love to all
A still chilly Baldy P xxxx
