Monday is Bluey day

What's big and pink with five digits? My hand of course! My arms and now my legs are swollen with fluid. My back is still itchy, as are the arms and legs but my face and shoulders have gone down so I am healing but it's slower than expected. We are still wondering if it was a late reaction to anaesthetic or the codine but I wlil ask the three Anaesthesologists what they gave me and see if there is a pattern or not. Anyway .....

Rick got on the plane home this morning. It was a quick trip especially considering all the time spent in waiting rooms. He seems pretty happy with how it all worked out and has talked about putting his name forward for local tissue donation in Victoria. He was waxing philosophical the other night about the sameness of all peoples and said that more poeple should clue into the fact that these stem cells know no color or race.

Excuse me while I sctratch.....I can't scratch actually just rub the skin gently with the palm, but it is some relief.

That's better.

Forgot to include Regan Morris in my list of supporters that I admire in the last post.

Hey you all know Bluey; that Austrailian champ the one in the picture a couple of posts back. She's grand you know, and I love her so. Anyway she is woriking from a distance, doing laundry and looking after me ALL AT THE SAME TIME. What a little beauty.

Have you considered entering yourself in a talent show? The amazing swollen man! You could earn millions!
I hope you get better soon though because the amazing swollen man is all very good, but I do prefer my uncle Chris.

Hmm, I have a large headache. This will require beating myself with a solid object. Should do the trick.

Hehe

Love you both FAR FAR more than chocolate.

Sian.
