Had a nice day today...

Less than one minute read time.

Usual routine today. Hickman gave up the blood without a fight this morning so that was a good start. Neutrophils are zero so today or tomorrow will be the bottom out days before things start to rise. Platelets down to 40 which means the daily Clexane injections (blood thinner) have been stopped so that’s another little bonus. Feel good today. Spent a nice afternoon digging out you tube stuff to pass on to the boys. Today sent them a whole load of music to explore from soundtracks, blues women and a couple of really cool dance clips from films.They sent a few bits by return. Also gave them both some (garbled) help with their Psychology assignments. Dongles are great J .

Have discovered how to take my twice daily itroconazole syrup (prevents fungal infections and tastes bad. Really bad.). i just down the morning one before I do anything else - that way the day can only get better. The bedtime one has a movicol chaser - totally disguises it. Necessity being the mother of invention and all that :)

    Oh syrup, I thought the lactulose solution was bad!  I have to take 160mgs of Co-Trimoxazole (trade name Septrin) on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays for the entire 6 months I am on chemo to prevent fungal pnuemonia!  Its like a horse tablet but at least its not syrup and it slips down with a cuppa tea!

    Not many people get to play with their dongle all day  and not get arrested ha ha....sorry bad thoughts blame Buttercup ☺

    Hang in there Karen, slow & steady wins the race.

    Love & Strength

    yes - give me a pill any time over syrup - but they told me it's absorbed into your system better with syrup so...

    re the dongle, I've got just two words for you, missy...Be.Have.
