Hiya all,
Thanks for you messages :-)

Oh and would you bloody believe it - a gold cap came loose today nearly swallowed it - well gonna try n get a dentist with a little cement to pop down n stick it back in lol.
Blood count still oh whole fat ZERO! - probably will be til Saturday when I start to have some more GCSF (injections like before to stimulate my stem cells for my harvesting, grown hormone factor stuff) - well not alot to tell ya cos I cant escape - but if I run to the door when they take the bins out I can see outside lol - yeah I know I gotta window ................ but its a 'different' bit of outside!!

Feel like a prisoner with haircut to match lol
Hi All
Still locked in my little room - count hit zero, yesterday and today (but that's the idea) so cant go anywhere - getting a little cabin feverish but ho-hum and very tired - keep doing the whole nodding dog thing - will break my neck a this rate lol.
Had half hour reflexology yesterday which was very pleasant :-)
Well not alot else I can tell you except that .............................................................................................. my room is 17 1/3 piggy steps by 14 1/2 piggy steps!!
LOLOLOL
Pxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Chemo is doing it's job .....................
Well the chemo is doing it's job - (sorry Jill, have to put in the nasty bits too) bloods are dropping as off yesterday morning I am officially Neutropenic - very low blood counts - i.e. the chemo is working - killing off all the old cells - then the stem cells will eventually grow, grow, grow replace the old immune system, yeah thats about it really lol.
So I am locked in my room - I am allowed visitors - HEALTHY ONES ONLY!! - not feeling too bad yesterday/today so far - but gotta hit the bottom before you can climb the ladder back up again.
It is kinda odd not being allowed out feel like a prisoner lol.
luv to all

Week One – Short breakdown: HONEST IT IS ....... JUST LOOKS LOTS!!
Sorry peeps probably more for my benefit than yours
To help with the boredom – as feeling ok at the moment
Summat too look back on in the future
also if the entry is that boring it might help me sleep lol or you :-)
DAY 1 – SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2009 - Chemo
DAY 2 – SUNDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2009 - Chemo
DAY 3 – MONDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2009 - ATG DAY – the rabbit stuff, no initial reaction, that followed.
More chemo – yeah I know repetitive aint it lol
Day 4 – TUESDAY 20TH OCTOBER 2009 - ATG – RABBIT DAY 2, had a slight reaction, temperature, feeling unwell for a good few hours but soon passed.
Carol popped up to see me briefly as poorly and Michael came to visiting in the evening so all in all turned into a good day.
DAY 5 WEDNESDAY 21ST OCTOBER 2009 - Met Lisa outside visiting hours downstairs had a wicked hour or so having coffee n McD’s for lunch (well it is in the same road so considered ‘on site’ well is in my eyes).
DAY 6 – THURSDAY 22ND OCOBER 2009 - Lots of lots of peeing thanx to the meds, as managed to gain almost a stone and a half due to fluid retention (fat cow)!
DAY 7 – FRIDAY 23RD OCTOBER 2009 (NOW DAY ZERO – LOL)
STEM CELL REPLACEMENT DAY – MY NEW BIRTHDAY
All went well and continues to do so.
I did manage to get a couple of hours (literally 2!) free in the morning so I was really bad!
I jumped in a cab outside popped home n had a HUGEEEEEEEEE squeeze of my boys – quick coffee with Carol n Shelia and popped to Tesco and came back to the hospital for my Stem cell replacement (given via IV drip)in the afternoon.
I think I could have got away with it but I could not resist the urge to purchase some Krispy Kreme donuts for the ward and the day unit – I think that was when they began to enquire as to where have you been?? lol – but hey – I think I got away with it lol.
So now we just sit back and wait – feeling ok but any day from today to next weekend all my blood counts will start to drop I shall be very unwell and get neutropenic (i.e. no immune system and in isolation and very open to infection anf just generally feeling like sh**e!)
Then it is just a case of getting over that waiting for the bloods to slowly rise and start to climb the ladder back up.
Its not gonna be easy I doubt but hey I am in wonderful hands I have you all out there routing for me – and HEY I GOT 2 BIRTHDAYS Now! …………… NUFF SAID LOL
Lovin ya all

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
