Two
weeks in the sun and then home to the sun! Get in!
I am on the train back from the airport
(took the mac with hopes of writing my
book during cool siestas in the villa –
I failed on both the writing and the afternoon rest) We have had a blissful time,
reading, eating (it was a total carb fest) drinking and generally relaxing. It
feels good to be back though I cannot wait to see Tilly J
Oh yeah, we both read the fifty shades trilogy
– disappointed, end of.
I was a bit paranoid about getting some deathly bug from salad or fish or
something. Then I realized on the day we went to a water park that it coincided
with the most likely time to have low blood counts and at risk of infection if
I was going to be after chemo-lite. The park was packed and I was pretty
grossed out by the idea of swimming around in pools of germs and snot, we still managed to have an ace time though!
Oh and obviously I didn’t catch any thing yukky and die.
Unfortunately though, I discovered that I now
have anxiety issues about any potential danger, accident death etc. I was
properly scared on even the tamest rides. Every slide I imagined me knocking my
head, me flipping over and breaking my neck. I mean I have never been one for
scarey rides but I have definitely had more guts than this before. I mean, oh
my God, when I did that loop the loop in an airplane I was quite scared, but I just took deep
breaths and thought ……well what’s the worst that can happen, oh yeah I might
die, ah but I am dying anyway sooooo….it will probably be pretty quick if I go
this way and it will quite legendary! Well now I am officially now a wuss.
I also made myself my own laminated medical
alert (Alerta Medica) card before we went, very proud of myself, I translated
my medical history (Historia Clinica) in to Spanish and even highlighted that I
have difficult veins (La vena difficil) Check me out! I am basically Spanish!
Ok am not at all Spanish, I am now shamed by my
lack of linguistic talent. You see I would have learnt in the last year but I
didn’t see the point ‘cos I was going to die! Yes, that old chestnut! Makes you
do things you might not usually do and puts you off things you probably would
do, see what I mean? We are definitely
going to Spanish lessons as soon as possible.
Actually I have ended up with an infection, an
ear infection though – I spent lots of time under water with my lovely new
goggles (thank you Tilly – human Tilly that is not canine Tilly). Yeah it’s
pretty painful and usually I would just dose up with painkillers and squirt a
garlic capsule in my ear but now I am hyperchondriac woman I will actually go
and get some anti bugs from the doc.
I have an appointment in Bristol with the bone
marrow man on the 17th August to discuss options. So I reckon I will
be looking at hospital end of September, that’s cool, I can go to my school
reunion, see Jesus Christ Superstar and maybe Matilda again (have earnt a
special day out courtesy of the fabulous Willow Foundation J) It will be autumn I can wear hats for my
baldiness then emerge in the new year cured and lovely!!
Live long and prosper xxx
