Couldnt have treatment friday as platelets on the floor. Thought, oh well i get another week off - but sadly \i felt rubbich yesterday and mildly better today, but still knackered. My birthday today too ( just to lay it on thick.) Luckily I had Assumed i would be tired anyway had chemo happened last week, so didnt have pLans. Lots of flower and messages and some terrible cards ( i hate teddy bears and such= seems my own familly dont know me very well!)  I  asked for money again so I can make charitable donations- feels much better. And I like to pick chsrities which will annoy some people!

Hopefully I will pick up a bit eah day. Had Ct Thurs - shoud have known platelets would be low as I left  trail of blood behind me. Hope they dont have a murder in the scan room or my card is marked.

Got face to face appt for review Monday, not sure if they are inviting a few people in or if there is a reason. I will find out \ suppose.

I havent picked a song on the thread before - but "Comfortably Numb" seems appropriate today.

  • Well OBS, that sounds like a splendid day and so pleased you feel a bit better. Save the snooze and have a double one next time you need it.

    As we only get the Mail on Sunday, does that only make me a 7th of a bad person?

    Xx

  • one seventh for that reason, the rest is made up of other sins I am sure.

  • How can you know me so well.I had better start going back to chapel the weekends.

  • Just caught up with your post. I'm glad that things are looking up a bit and you managed to get out for tea. Celebrate your birthday whenever you feel up to it - celebrate it over a week. Who's to know or care how many times you do it? Can you manage a glass of something - or is that forbidden on the regime? Big hugs to you and your platelets.  Rainie x

  • A belated happy birthday OBS, I am glad that you are picking up, hopefully a sign that your platelets are too. What a good idea to ask for money to donate to charity for your birthday, do you tell your donors where their money went or do you keep it to yourself?

    Best wishes

    Hi

    Sorry I'm late to the party. Hope you had a great birthday and are feeling ok. Had a bit of a rough week, that's why I'm late to the post.

  • Sorry you had a rough week. I am better every day, mowed lawn  today( well the grass left between the archaelogical trenches dug by dogs) .walked aforementioned dogs further than usual today as the weather was cooler, and we all felt up for it.

    @Rainieday , no wine for me sadly, since i was diagnosed with liver mets i decided to take no chances.

    I am going for family meal sunday with 4 sisters, 1 brother, I niece, I brother in law, and my daughter. i will chose to reveal which charity i chose, depending on how much they annoy me, You dont choose your family.  Sad but true - we get along at a surface level, but i always wondered if  I  was swapped at birth, because i am nothing like the others in likes, politics, music, interest etc. However, when I put my wig on when I got it, I realised me and twin sisters so  could be triplets, that there is no doubt i am related. Weird how we can be so different from our siblings. I sound like a proper misery dont I, but my friends and kids love me, honest. And I do like food so every opportunity to eat out is welcome

  • The more loopy your ideas, the more we love you. I think you are more conventional in your likes than you make out?

    Have a great meal, don't be unnecessarily controversial, you will give everyone indigestion.  Have a mocktail, I love them. Xx!

  • Hope the review goes well on Monday 

    let us know xxx

    Pleased you are feeling better each day and are able to get out and do things. It makes a massive difference to our mental health, I think. Enjoy your meal on Sunday,  i always find those social gatherings stressful but then I am a misery and find small talk draining.

    We always say that my husband is the interloper in his family as he is not like them at all, in character anyway, no escaping the looks. It's odd isn't it, maybe you would get on with family from further back in the line, we might all find out one day when we get upstairs haha.

    Have a lovely weekend
