Day 13 - 2 sleeps ???

1 minute read time.

How are we all doing then?

Well my counts were hovering and being a bit sluggish so I talked to doctors and we all agreed having the booster (GSF) injection would help, especially as we're aiming to leave on Friday! I feel that I will, but I'm scared to say Yes for definite in case they need to do one last thing! Deri and I will explode if it's not Friday!!

The BMT nurse came round earlier to go through my discharge notes, which is also a good sign one hopes!

Finished all my books now, but not quite in mood to watch films despite having about 30 on that external drive from Ben!

EXCITING news is that Megan passed her driving test today! First time! Very exciting, also feels weird having a kid old enough to drive haha!!
I have lost 8 kilos, somewhere! My skin is as dry as anything, I have various lotions and potions to put on, some handmade by friends of mine, so keeping skin topped up, although the skin on my legs and breasts is peeling! No idea why those areas haha!

I'm SO ready to go home. I know I won't be able to do much, but it won't matter. And I'll have an appointment with local hospital, prob next week, for a check-up, which will be both odd and reassuring, because I have to say, there were times before transplant that I wondered if I would make it through!! Silly ? Probably, but it's big time stuff :)) Then a 3 month check up here too, so guessing I'll be popping to local hossie as and when necessary in between.

So, let's see what blood count says tomorrow!!

Much love and hugs to you all

    Good morning Ems,

    Fingers and toes crossed for tomorrows discharge!!!!!!

    It all sounds soooooooooooo positive and even with a litlle wobble (absolutely normal and allowed), you've battled on and on and now you've come out the other side, IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLOODY MARVELOUS YAYYYYYYYYYYYY.

    Well done to Megan for 1st time test passing, she can be taxi to you now eh??? That's what I told my two kids when they passed. It's great having them pick me up on a night out now and then, though it soon wears off and they come up with any old excuse to get out og it tee hee.

    Much love and take care
