Yesterday was so much better than I had thought it would be. I managed to tidy and dust my bedroom before collapsing in a heap!!!! It looks so much better. Paul calls it my hotel room! I then had some lovely visitors from school. It was so lovely to see them and catch up with their summer news. It encouraged me to get maps out and work out where all these places were - my geography is appalling.

Today brings dialysis on my own. I have a film to watch and a book to read and my knitting to carry on with. My arm is feeling much better and I only have 2 more days of swaddling. The 'thrill' continues to grow and I can feel it further up my arm.
