    Peter, I can't see whether you got my blog to you so just to reiterate I am so sorry you have such a bad infection - those drugs and really heavy guns and not very nice with after effects.  I know you have to work to pay the bills but, as its Sunday, REST REST REST.  If you have to, go sick tomorrow, you are the only person who can heal yourself and going to work no-one is very considerate, they just want the work done.  If you have to get a certificate for a few days, afterall, its not everyday we suffer from cancer, some people have days off for a pimple on their bum!  Look after yourself Peter and you will get there, you have no choice.  I sincerely hope one day you will look back on this long episode as a bad phase in your life but you got through it and are stronger for the experience.  God bless, Ann
