day 9 chemo 2 email from son

3 minute read time.
I have really slept through that was a good nights sleep with No sickness just great.
Yesterday
The weather started of very sunny so it looked like the day was off to a good start , did the washing and soon saw it on the line and blowing in the breeze.
 
Had a leisurely Breakfast and answered all my emails and dusted around the place, always trying to keep it clean so no germs are hiding as I know I must not catch anything that would give me an infection.
Always make sure now that all raw veg and fruit are washed as my Immune system is low. I seem to know when that has happened as my ankles are swollen so I'm taking the water tablets again.
I would love to potter in the garden and cut back some of the summer growth but I mustn't puncture the skin and there are to many naughty Microbes in the soil that could cause infection.
Ray has said wait until spring and we will have a good cut back then, so I'm happy to do that as there is such a lot of wild life playing in the garden.
Its too warm for them to Hibernate and the hedgehog is a good example of that.
Mr Hedgehog is really happy in the compost heap and he runs all over the garden, as I have to sweep his tell tale line of poo everyday --he does more when he comes to the gate --so the energy that he uses to climb through the gate creates this extra pile o poo.
That's why Louis sits by the gate watching for his friend to come back to his bed In the compost heap.
Then Mr Blackbird is churning up the gravel while finding insects still to eat, so between then I have to sweep and tidy the garden everyday.
 
Had lunch and a slow walk with the dog to the beach,  after but the sun was disappearing behind black clouds and when we got back the rains came and at night a very high wind was hitting us. 
Had a catnap --all this tiredness catches up and its just Zonk you are asleep but I do feel well now and the sickness has gone, which is a blessing.
I cooked a Shepherds pie and Veg and we sat down to the table and enjoyed.
Then I had an email from my son who is in Northern Cypress for the hand over of his villa he has had built out there.
I'm so pleased for him and if I'm very sweet to him I might get a holiday out there but Its having the confidence to travel away from home and the wonderful nursing I have here.
He says everything went well but he wont move out there for the foreseeable future.
I know he wants to stay by my side as that is why he moved back from Spain (well one of the reason's) and I do feel Guilty on one hand but not on the other as I'm being selfish, I love him near me and he is there if his Dad needs help.
We have been married  49 years and Ray will be lost without me--he will need Terry and Niky for comfort.
I love the fact though that at last Terry seems to have settled down and I will be leaving him in the safe hands of Niky when I do leave this earth.
Well I have to sign off as I have to get ready to go to Margate for a scan on my chest/abdo/pelcis with contrast to see what is going on inside me.
I cant eat after 9.00a so I will get Breakfast now. byexx
