Nights off. Days out. Nearly D day

2 minute read time.

Well, R day went well, feels weird not to be having any more, though of course I won't complain ;) Another little milestone. Of course it would be wonderful if it was the last treatment EVER, but just the small matter of the transplant to do now. Should know dates next week.
Went to dentist for check up prior to SCT. Now, for me, this is a HUGE event as I am PHOBIC and not been for years! I need aa filling replaced and two roots out, but there is no active decay so I can wait until after the SCT otherwise recovery would be 3 weeks anc delay the SCT - if there was active decay then the SCT would have to wait but thankfully not!!

That night, Broni ended up bein gout at a sleepover too, so there were no kids in the house. I lit the fire, poured the wine, watched films, ate delicious pasta, and lounged on sofa........... oure, uninterrupted bliss!

Thursday, met the delightful LM for coffee and we had a long and fab chat which involved much laughter too :)) We also discussed how next time we saw each other properly, we would both be on road to recovery, as LM has an op and I have the SCT in the same month!
It was a most wonderful morning :))

Today has been a lazy day with Deri - although she was more active than me actually as she was out in garden on the swings, trampoline, toy horse etc! Ralh had lit a fire in their garden, so she made up an adventure about being called Lucy and rescuing the horse from the smoke of the fire :) She is always usin gher imagination, and most days is either being a pony, or a puppy, or a bear, etc ;)
Tomorrow we are meeting friends in the park and then back to theirs for lunch. I expect it will be a simple yet very nice lunch as J's hubby is a famous chef with a very nice restaurant haha!

All these normal activities feel surreal in one way, as in a week or two I will be sealed up in a room going through the SCT! Oh DO hurry up summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge hugs and love to everyone, whether waiting, going through, or recovering from, results and treatment. Proud to be sharing this journey with such amazing people as yourselves xxxxxx

    Ah hello dahling the wonderful LM here.... :) Well done for braving the dentist... actually I keep thinking what? you have a toy horse in your garden? How cool!! Sorry, now where was I? Oh yeah, rescuing bears...

    It will all be over soon and summer will be here with happy times abound.

    Iam guessing I will be back home before you go in cos you need a week's notice so have a good week and stuff yourself with cake in readiness for not eating much (well, you've got to keep your strength up eh?) and I'll sneak on somehow next week to say hello.

    Love you my welsh wytchy sister

    Hi there Fab girl!

    Glad you didn't get thrown out of the cafe when you met LM for coffee. I loved your outfit as described by LM and it was most definately how we imagine you!

    Why can't I marry a famous chef, oh perhaps  because I'm a man. Enjoy your lunch.

    You know we've all got so many things crossed for you, I'm not sure we'll remember what is crossed and what not. The treatment doesn't sound a bundle of laughs and may make you want to keep saying a four letter word - CURE!

    Love and cwtches,

    Hello Odin! How are you? :)

    And I'll have you know, the scarf was green, not fuschia haha!

    Thank you so much, it means such a lot to have all you fab people behind me. Although when my rear end starts reacting to the chemo, you may wish to be in front of me..................................................

    Am I allowed to say all sorts of 4 letter words? :D

    Love and cwtchs to YOU
