Well, went back to mum's this morning to have the bob changed to something more 'me ... feel much better now lol! People have said it makes me look younger - bonus! Even if they don't mean it, who cares, it had to happen and I like it now :)
Went to get dressing changed and everyone's happy with it, doc gave me some antibiotics as the swab they took last week proved positive etc, so have 5 days of those to take.
Then I drove home to be here for when Bronwen's school bag was delivered, then popped to see Pedro for 5 minutes. He likes the hair too.
Then I went to work for 2 hours, said Hi to everyone, checked/filtered/replied/deleted the 150 emails ready for a 'normal' day's work tomorrow! Line manager came to see me and had a nice quick chat and signed the return to work form. My two days following chemo are going to be "rest & recuperation" days not sick days so my pay can less interfered with and I don;t have to fill in a return to work form every fortnight! It was emphasised by her that I MUST only go in and when I feel like it and leave when I am tired etc, and I said that plan was EXACTLY what I was going to do, so hoorah!
My fab baking-mad mother called in at 5pm with dinner for tonight, a cake, dinner for tomorrow and tins of soup... she is brill!
ALSO - each of my girls started a new year at school today of course -
Deri, yr 2, Bronwen, year 9, in the new blazer and tie and will soon
have to take her 'choices' for GCSE's! Megan started 6th form!!! I am
SO very proud of my munchkins, they are growing up beautifully :D
