Final chemo had.  PICC line removed *ouch* (instruction to look away and breathe deeply ignored - I am interested and I wanted to watch - and I'm not a fainter).  That was one long tube.  Bell rung.  

CONGRATULATIONS, WELL DONE AND HALLELU!!!!

Now for the rest of forever with the beasties in submission and remission I hope xx 

Twinkle howling again and being vile.. what are the odds of her ending up in TO again?

Valli so pleased the chemo is done.  When DSs Picc line blocked I declined going with him while they "whipped it out and popped a new one in".  I didnt even like looking at where it went in his arm.

Iona great to hear the gym can do that without you having to see the GP.  Hope it's good news.

Paid stuff done.  I am supposed to be only working tomorrow morning but not sure if I will manage that.  Pilates done first thing, flying is minimal, kitchen floor needs attention. 

DH is going to go on steroids for a few weeks to see if it will dampen down his immune system.  Hope he doesnt have too many side effects.

A bit of a sit down is needed.

Well done, Valli!!! Wooty woot woot! xx

Work has been worked - is it Friday yet?? Dinner cooked, rather tasty fish on a tomatoey orzo creation. I Made An Effort, especially as it’s only Wednesday. Mr M delivered today - 1 hour 40 minutes early was taking the mickey, imho. Luckily DH abandoned his work call to find the bags dumped on the doorstep. Not impressed. The last delivery looked like they had thrown it half way across the country. Time to abandon Mr M, possibly.

Still trying to break the WAC habit. 1am is tedious.

That’s fantastic @Valli 😍

Valli

Bit of a dilemma…am wondering if I’ve done the right thing.  Saw the  vallikid’s other gran in the unit, don’t know what she was being given or why and I know that not all patients are in there for cancer treatment.  Anyway I’ve decided to mention it to them, then they can decide whether or not to get in touch.  It’s years since they saw her.  They are adults now.  But if the worst happens I don’t really want them to think I knew she was ill and I didn’t bother to tell them.  

Bin out ready for the morning.  Vacuum filter rinsed, I have two so have swapped over.

thanks all.  Wooty  wooty woot woot indeed

Congrats on finishing your chemo @Valli. Do you need to have more treatments, or is chemo your final one?
I didn’t manage to finish my bathroom today. By the time I got home from work I had run out of energy. I cleaned the bath, wash basin, and toilet. The floor was mopped and the towels were washed at weekend though, so it wasn’t a complete failure.
Well done everyone on your achievements today.

Great news Valli.

Not much of a flying day:
- went for a run
- put on a load of washing
- went to uni and did an assessment. Finally managed to catch up with manager re a difficult assessment the week before last, for some reason my emails hadn't reached her. Now sorted, bits added to the report and it needs a final check tomorrow.
- Paperwork ready for tomorrow's student.
- did final check and sent off last week's student assessment.
- checked calendar for dates I'm available to work over Easter, crossed my name off for my big birthday and also the day we are going away for BIL's big birthday.
- Caught up with Chris Packham's programme on autism which may not be flying but is relevant to work.
- moved another couple of garments from temporary rail to new wardrobe. 
- had long conversation with old school friend who sadly lost her sister this morning, expected soon but rather suddenly as it turned out.

You don't KNOW she is ill.. she may be having a check up for a previous illness.. you just know she was there so you could mention you saw her in passing but that you have no idea what she was doing there.. then they know as much as you do.. anything else is speculation. I'm sure if she was interested in them she could just as easily get in touch, just because they are now adults doesn't mean they have to make the first move, she chose to not see them. My lot have 2 uninterested grandparents (1 for the younger 4) and an uninterested great-grandparent who has never even seen Twinkle.. if yours are anything like mine they won't care.. my former MIL has dementia (we said she's had it forever!) and when I told them they all said 'oh' or something meaner.. sadly sharing DNA does not make some people family. 

Tesc0 purchased.

Now off to my nest! We have Pixies friend for a sleepover tomorrow! .. I don't know why I said it.. I must be demented.. I don't even like children.. mine have been vile this week what the heck am I doing volunteering to have a spare?!

Radiotherapy in about a month.  I will also be on meds (similar to tamoxifen) for 10 years.  I appear to be too thrilled to sleep!
