Boxing Day As well as broad-spectrum Tazocin, I’ve been on Teicoplanin (twice a day to start, then once a day) to target coagulase-negative staphylococcus. Big name for a little bug but it does kind of roll off the tongue once you’ve worked out how to say it. It's not too bad now that I know I'm staying til Tuesday at least. I can get my mind in gear for that and buy my mobile broadband time and TV etc now! They just…
Well the snow made everything look lovely but - like many other people - totally messed up our plans! We were snowed in til xmas eve. We’d had no post and, therefore, no presents delivered for a week. Radiotherapy delayed after lots of to-ing and fro-ing and pacing up and down when we got a message saying “Don’t worry!

My mood has been 'simmering' for a couple of days and totally slumped on the way over because I'd had to miss a couple of rare nights out recently because of colds - either mine or other people…
Thursday Off to the Radiotherapy department for The Planning Session. Airy waiting area and WRVS come round with tea! Excellent. But there was a TV on in the corner, which no-one was really watching, with a load of squawking bints arguing at full volume on some godawful sitcom. No need for that I thought selfishly.
