    Hello blog peeps,

    I am writing this blog from within the hospice.  My family are here with me to stay the night, please don't panic.  I am in here for respite and very much plan to come out again but I'll tell you how we ended up here.

    It's been a while since I wrote a blog.  It's been eventful.  Unfortunately not in a good way. 

    On the 15th March I felt really hot so I took my temperature.  38.9 is not good…

    I didn't get my first infusion last week as hoped.

    We booked our train tickets and hotel room as the hospital suggested we would be better to spend the night before in London so we could be at the hospital in the morning ready for a raft of tests and…

    Hello blogees (is that even a word?  I might have made it up )

    Just thought I'd take five minutes to update you all on the latest happenings concerning the Bastard.  Seems a perfect moment to do it as the children are all still asleep and Mr H is occupied on the PlayStation.

    The last fortnight has been hard.   I won't lie.  Things are starting to go wrong with my body.  Nasty urinary tract infection, bowel issues and…
