One down, one to go

05 Aug

Yesterday I had the seventh in my present course of Chemotherapy. One to go – hopefully in three weeks if I don’t contract any more colds or bugs. The session lasted from 1pm to 4pm and the only trouble with afternoon treatments is that amongst the concoctions pumped into you is Dexamethazone which is an ‘upper’ so its still very effective when you want to go to sleep that night!

Today has dawned fine and I don’t feel too bad. We have Abe and Phoebe for two days and nights while Becky is in Christchurch with her part-time job. I’ll be taking them to the Mapua Aquarium for a field trip with other homeschoolers this afternoon. Abe and Phoebe are always very well behaved at our place so no real probs when they come to stay here.

Bronwen is in bed though today – she’s picked up another chest infection. We are hugging and kissing from a distance!
