Emily has brilliant AS results. She has (sensibly) prepared us for 4 "u"s so, with great pride, was able to tell us that they were better than that.
Poor G has an overachieving chest infection and has had to curtail the partying. We are hoping rest and antibiotics will enable her to be well enough for the V Festival tomorrow. Crossing fingers and toes.
The lovely Christine arrived yesterday with more food. Such a joy to see her and catch up, especially as she is away for the next couple of weeks. I am very proud of her daughter, V, for making such a mature decision about her education and following her dream. (I went and bought 11 new saucepans thanks to you, Christine - love you!)
Lovely to see Sophie St as well for a quick cuppa, during cricket practice and Yes, Sophie, you do deserve that watch........
All this on a chemo day. Phew!
Em's godmother, Romay, arrives this evening from Aberdeen. I CAN'T WAIT to see her. So much to catch up on and one of those people I feel really comfortable with. She actually liked the girls when they were little - kudos to her. I can't wait for the soft Scottish burr and her, being a golf expert an all, may take HWISO out for a bit of R&R, now that we have heavy rain forecast for tonight.
The chemo has decreased the pain in the shoulder by about 500%. It was getting so bad that I nearly gave up on Tuesday. I was snappy, tired and slept for 18 hours - very unlike me. Chemo is weird because you can actually feel it working inside. Seriously! Back on the steroids again, as well, so was all over the forum at 4 am this morning. Grinding my teeth and feeling another SP blog coming on - just warning you all.
Picture of the day for EB who is not on FB so won't have seen it. Pirate keeping me company in bed during mouldy Tuesday.....
Love the pic C - what a comfort our small, smelly, fur shedding, instinctively understanding best friends can be.
