End of Treatment Day 1

A busy day!

Packing took ages and despite deciding against the cocktail dress and other luxury goods we still had a full car load. Now, after all the gifts Suzi had today, it'll be two car loads to get it all home. We never have had the ability to travel light. The nurses were entertained by the number of times I passed them laden with stuff. The room is packed with flowers and other essential items like Mabel the protective boxer dog!

S got wired up onto her chemo drug and is pleased to report that her vastly expensive cut and colours she had done to her hair last week have survived the first 12 hours. She had a peaceful few hours chatting with Mandie before James and I burst in laden with more goodies. A beautiful book to go with the dog from James and a very stylish new laptop from Jan/mum.

Time passed very quickly and it was soon passed 9. It was tough leaving but she is so clearly in good kind and caring hands. James and I then met up with Mike for something to eat and a chat which is always enjoyable in their perfect company.

It was just after 11 when we got back home and then James set to work for a couple of hours trying to get the wireless network working. I caught up with the phone messages but by this time it was too late to return any calls but many thanks to you all for your kind thoughts.

I've just finished chatting to S, our regular 2am slot, she is fine comfortable and feeling very well cared for. I told her about all the phone messages of love. She did have a list of several more things for me to take into her tomorrow so I may have to look into the possibility of getting a second room at the hospital to fit it all into.

Time to sleep again for me too.

Love to you all

B
