    Auld Lang Syne.....

    As 2010 fast approaches I have realised I am entering into my third year of having cancer in my life.  Its gone quick I can tell you!! I turned 29 on Christmas day and what a Christmas it was. We had the perfect day, everyone got loads of fab prezzies (I got the Pauls Boutique bag I wanted..yay) and we had a beautiful lunch at Cafe Rouge. It was great, I couldnt have asked for better.

    I am aware I havent blogged for a while but I have been looking on the site now and then. Since I have been back...

    Taking offence is the national pastime, people do it at weekends instead of barbecues
    I was sitting at my desk preparing invoices and work sheets earlier this afternoon wearing my usual office wear, flip flops, jogging bottoms & t shirt. Playing away at the side of me was Radio 4. It's such a nice way to go to work, and the only thing missing is a picturesque view out of the office (middle bedroom) window. However the downside is that work slows to a crawl when something good [on radio] diverts me. But since the beast that dare not speak it's name started it's fight within...

    Karen's Boxing Day Blether #11

    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 don't realise, these life-saving nurses, the momentous decisions that hang on...
