It's all about the sofa

I can't believe I have been home 4 days! It's wonderful. I have felt so much better than I expected, although that has had it's down side I think I may have been overdoing a bit so I have reigned myself in and have spent most of today on my AMAZING MAGIC RAINBOW SOFA OF JOY!! Yes thanks to the generosity and kindness of a whole load of people I am now living the dream! My original idea was red jumbo cord, but that's only because I had no idea of the existence of the velvety multi colour vision I am now seated upon, in fact I don't think it did actually exist until a team of fairies made it for me last weekend :) So, thanks to everyone who contributed and to my tenacious little brother who was determined to make this happen. Of course I threw everything off course by being discharged Monday not Wednesday, but I can't help being a little bit magic!

I thought my neutrophils had to be 0.5 before I was discharged but the consultant on Monday decided 0.4 was ok and as I was feeling well I could just go! Wednesday they were 0.6 so I am slowly and steadily creeping up in the right direction. My iron level is 9.6 which I think is fab, especially as I don't eat meat. My platelets are low - 17 and I did have 2 platelet infusions during admission, so I had better not fall off my bike or I might bleed to death, hmmmmm I know maybe I shouldn't ride my bike. So if it wasn't for my baldy head no one would know there was anything wrong, and as its winter I can chuck a beanie on and blend right in! I am on a whole pile of meds still which brings me back to earth. But, really I think things are going smoothly.

And another bit of wow-ness is that my friend Sue decided to shave her head for my 'rehabilitation' cause. She is doing it tomorrow at her children's primary school. Yes I have tried talking her out of it but she is like a woman possessed! What a nutter! But in an amazing way! At least I will have a bald buddy beside me as it grows back! She really is going above and beyond, I mean I have no choice in having no hair, she does - now that is really brave. Hopefully I will be able to post a pic of us both soon.

Signing off now from my fave part of the sofa, the purple chaise longue bit.......mmmmmm.....purple's definitely a good healing colour :)

Love and Light
