Dialysis went well yesterday apart from a rather long wait to start. Chloe and I started a new crossword book. My haemoglobin has dropped again to 5 so we have decided, after a helpful chat with the sister, to have a blood transfusion on Saturday. So hopefully I will be full of beans soon! My last day of injections for my white cells today so hopefully I am also full of those too! The Sister commented that when I first came to dialysis they had been unsure what to expect, I think they had been expecting someone who was very poorly and sad. However they got me! I am so grateful to be as well as I am especially with the chemo as well as the dialysis. Thank you for your prayers.

I am looking forward to seeing 2 friends today and catching up on news and maybe seeing baby photos. Maybe cutting out some patchwork squares today too following my lesson on Wednesday.

Josh will make his decision about jobs today. He is in the wonderfully privileged position of being offered two jobs one in Brighton and one in London and today is crunch day. We are so glad that he has been able to get a job at all in this current climate especially in the design world. He is hoping at some time to come and talk in church about his year at CCK which has been wonderful and challenging.

  1. Glad there are helpful people around you to advise on decisions. What talents - crosswords and patchwork. I usually start the Weekend Telegraph crossword and then google some of the answers! You must be cheering up the medical staff I think. Have a good day with your friends. x

  2. Wouldn't say talents!!! A work in progress would be more accurate! I think we do lighten the ward at lunchtimes. It is a hard shift as many of the dialysis patients are very poorly. Most of them sleep through dialysis while Chloe and I can be quite noisy! Lots of laughing usually. The staff work really hard.

  3. What a wonderful witness you are, Anne, to how our Lord Jesus can give us strength and comfort us when we ask him.
    Glad yesterday was a better day for you.
    Keep smiling xx
