Early start to today - blood tests at the hospital. I even managed to find a parking spot where I didn't have to walk up or down a hill! There was a queue but it wasn't too long. Then on to the surgery to collect my prescription. The problem with all the adjusting of my drugs is that I spend my life writing to my GP and collecting new prescriptions! I expect tomorrow to bring more changes! Then coffee with my  friend D for a catch up. We hadn't seen each other for a few weeks so much to catch up on. She is my friend who I used to see weekly when she took me to dialysis so we are used to telling each other everything! Then home to start the Reading Festival washing !! Unfortunately by the time I got home I was feeling quite sick - I do hope my blood tests will be ok. I am going to see the renal consultant tomorrow. This is the longest I have gone without a blood test since I stopped dialysis. 

I am looking forward to the Paralympics starting tomorrow. We have tickets for next week and I am really looking forward to being in the stadium. I hope that Channel 4 cover the games well. I will miss the BBC presenters. 

11 days until my guest blogger - I am looking forward to sharing her answers to my questions and for you to get a glimpse of the life of a real author. I am reviewing her second book - THRIVE - The Bah! Guide to Wellness After cancer. She has also written 'How I Said Bah! to cancer: a guide to thinking, laughing, living and dancing your way through' She is also writing fiction - which I can't wait to read too. I would recommend her books to anyone learning to deal with an initial cancer diagnosis or learning to thrive afterwards.
