I have been to the hospital three times this week for blood tests and each time my blood counts have gone down. Thankfully today my platelets and haemoglobin had recovered slightly but my neutrophils are quite low (0.17 for those of you to whom that means anything) so I am back on the neutropenic medication and the GCSF injections. So no Brie or lettuce, no meetings or socialising, but thankfully I feel pretty ok. Back to the hospital next Monday, Wednesday, Friday for more blood tests...
We had an 'interesting' day yesterday to do with drains. At 10:30am there was a ring at the door and our plumber, who was investigating a problem next door, wanted me to move my car so that we could take the lid of the chamber to find out if the pipe was blocked. It was. Ugh. Once we had found the drain rods in the garage (lucky we had some) we were able to deal with that problem. Since it would have become our problem next we were not at all unhappy to help. That reminded us that we had noticed our kitchen sink drain running away slowly so we had to uncover the rodding eye and rod that drain too. Very smelly.
This is the sewing project I have been busy with on and off for the last few months - a quilt for some young friends who got married at the beginning of April. I have now finished sewing the patchwork together and will be having consultancy from a friend on Monday afternoon on the kind of wadding to buy and how to put it together. I have to say I am quite pleased with it.
