Craft and Oncology

Craft table to chose from

  Yesterday Chloe, Kit, Joy and I had a craft day. It was so lovely. Chloe and I planned some activities and then made a craft table of everything to choose from. It worked really well. The projects they chose were -

•  Easter Bunny bunting (no photos as it is already up)

• Needle cases

• Flower brooches 

• Flower cards

Felt ready to be used

 It was such fun having a day making together - although we probably did less talking than usual!Maybe that was a good thing!

Chloe and I really loved planning the day and thought we could set up craft days as a living! So if you would like to come to a craft day let us know!

Today I have been for my oncology appointment. We chatted about how I had been feeling and being more sick and more tired recently. My Consultant felt that this is probably due to my change in blood pressure tablets but had a good look at me. And I am to have every blood test (well nearly) under the sun at the beginning of March to tie in with my renal blood tests. If anything shows up he will do some more investigations. If nothing shows up I will have to do some more juggling of my blood pressure tablets. I suppose this is all part of the problem of having 3 different diseases - juggling side effects against the need for the drugs.



Tomorrow Chloe and I are of to London to see the new production of Great Expectations. We have got tickets from Lastminute.com. which is brilliant. Just hope that we can see everything! It's my last day with Chloe which has been such a joy. We get on so well. I am so glad to have her as my daughter.
On Friday she takes her stuff to Portsmouth to begin her penultimate placement. She just has 4 weeks in obs and gynae and then 4 weeks on paeds and then its over. Wow! Where did those 5 years go?

On Saturday I am going to a conference in London - hoping I have enough energy to cope with this. Not sure what they would make of me having a snooze at lunchtime! I am looking forward to spending the day with lovely people.
