It had to happen

I finally caught a cold, or some other virus as I do not have all the normal cold symptoms.  At least I waited until after the critical first 100 days!  Fortunately it is not very bad and I mainly feel just a little under the weather and have a sore mouth from ulcers.

I had my fortnightly appointment yesterday and went along with an overnight bag in case they kept me in, but they were not unduly worried and let me go!  I met my new consultant, Rachael, which means that I have now met the whole team.  There are four of them who rotate on a 2 monthly basis and they are Karl, Kirsty (who looked after me while I was in hospital), Emma and now Rachael.  Also I have a new transplant coordinator, Sarah, who was one of the senior nurses who looked after me while I was in, as Heidi has just gone on maternity leave.  I wish Heidi luck and plenty of rest!

I also had my monthly session on the nebuliser yesterday which was a bit boring as my Kindle's battery had died so, having written a couple of texts, the only entertainment was staring at the wall for half an hour!

Anyway, that's my appointments over now for another fortnight.

And finally, after a very long wait, I have finally summoned the courage to post a photo of me in my Kick Ass purple wig that the girls gave me for my birthday in December.  Only nice comments please.

  3. Lesson to be learned? Always charge batteries and I dare you to go out in that wig for Red Nose Day - no-one will notice!

    Love Lynn and Dale
