Another wonderful day yesterday. My Aunt and cousin came and updated me on their news. I really enjoyed their company. We can all talk for England so when they left there was still so much to say! Another visit is essential. In the evening we went to a farewell meal for a friend V leaving to work in Italy. It was lovely to be out in the evening and although I didn't manage the whole evening it felt wonderful to be doing something 'normal'. I am looking forward to hearing all about V's adventures living in Rome.

I had a bit of an adventure with my injection yesterday. I have restarted these injections which encourage my body to make white cells which drop due to the chemo. So far Chloe has given them to me but she is in France. So I started off well and mixed the fluid and injection material together and then sucked it back up into the syringe ready to give. Well I assumed I had! I was pushing the syringe to make sure there was no air bubbles when I realised that the syringe was actually empty! I had sucked nothing into it. Not quite sure how I managed that but glad I didn't inject a full syringe of air into my tummy! I am looking forward to Chloe being back tonight!

Today brings my first dialysis on my own. I have had the privilege of always having someone with me so far but today I go it alone! Ben has loaded some films onto my computer and I am going to take my patchwork and my book - so I am all set to go.
