Thursday… t+37

I didn’t record the elapsed weeks last week, but it is just over 8 months since I had the transplant, although I suppose we are back where we were at t+63 (days) which was when I had my first post transplant PET scan. That was the day that Thalidomide was talked about while we were waiting for the GvHd to kick in – and here we are again. But the entry for March 23rd makes interesting reading and is reminiscent of the last couple of posts this month! And the GvHd did work very well, so I will be keeping digits crossed that it works even better this time around!

Meanwhile my friends at Leukaemia Care have also been doing some research to see what clinical trials with new drugs might be taking place! Always useful to know ‘just in case’.

And if you do look at back at that page, you will see that the conservatory slab and wall had just been completed and we were waiting for the superstructure to be installed.

I said in the last post that we were expecting the last of the furniture and cushions too arrive by next Wednesday… Well good news and bad news, some arrived yesterday, but the wrong seat cushions – and the next delivery (to replace the cushions and deliver the table) will be towards the end of October! It has been a bit of a saga, but it will have been worth the wait. However I can report that the underfloor heating is very effective and it is a lovely room. I will post a photo when it is (finally) complete!

Funny to think that six weeks ago I was considering whether or not to close the blog – guess it will keep on for the time being!

Finally, tomorrow will be a sad day – it is the funeral for my late Father-in-law, in the morning, followed by a memorial service in the afternoon. I will be driving up early in the morning and returning tomorrow evening – Felicity went up this morning, and will be coming back on Saturday.

Onwards and upwards…
