Almost Home


Hi everyone, how are you all keeping? Tuesday was my second visit up to the hospital and the counts have stayed stable and seem to be settling, I thought that at one of the visits I would have needed to get platelets or even RBCs but thankfully that hasn’t been the case. This has meant they’ve just pretty much been similar to the regular checkups that I was getting before. Getting the bloods taken and then waiting out in the car till it’s time to see the doctor.

Tuesday was much busier than the Friday and seemed to take forever to get the bloods taken but this was made up for by not waiting as long to see the doc, normally it’s about an hour for that but wasn’t even 30 mins this time. The fitness is getting better, but still not great, stairs are the main issue, I seem to be mostly ok on the flat, but there was one time going to the house when I was carrying a bag and noticed a big difference from when I wasn’t, it was a lot more tiring, even though there wasn’t much in the bag. But that will improve considerably once I get home and start on the treadmill and exercise bike a bit and build it up.

It has been nice sitting out in the garden and bit and getting fresh air, I’ve not really been able to do that since last summer, but at the same time I’m not overly keen on the sun so I’ve still been wearing a jumper and hat to cover up and keep it off me as much as possible. Apart from that I really haven’t done anything at all. I’m sitting around like a vegetable but again once I get home I’ll be able to do my own thing. I had planned to go home on Saturday but apparently it’s bad luck so I’m assuming it’s bad luck to go home on the weekend so I’ll be going home on Monday. Saturday I had a Tesco delivery so I was able to get home for a while and sit there waiting for it to arrive which was nice getting a bit of peace and quiet.

Really have little else to write about so I guess that will do till the next time.

Hope you all keep well.
