Yesterday Anne dropped by to drop off stuff for Shinny's overnighter. She is up to her neck in conferences, summit meeting, sorting people out, tonnes of paperwork and then she has to go down to the mine and shovel a ton and a half of coal before she gets to bathe in a puddle, go home to her two by two room and get 20 minutes sleep..... And tell that to kids today (say it with me) and they don't believe you. Sorry Anne it just turned itself into a Monty Python routine. Sometimes I just can't control the Muse.
Anne Maddern and her daughter and maybe husband? are coming by today.
Shinny came after her class at Uni last night. we had a great dinner and visit. We are such poor hosts she had to bring her own barrel of Quick. This is now a weekly thing and will keep us grounded in reality, as she is very smart and fun.
Speaking of smart and fun Ret Wright is do this evening. She drives from Hervey Bay every Wednesday to take a uni class for her doctorate. this is the first of many sleepover visits we hope.
Just an update I may have been unclear in my use of language. All the docs here call the chemotherapy leading up to the transplant ‘Conditioning’. My protocol is five days of Fludarabine served up daily as an outpatient at the Mater Medical Clinic starting on Friday the 9th. Then on Tuesday the 13th I'll go in for one day (Wednesday?) of Malfluine then transplant on Thursday the 15th.
Thanks for all the emails including my sister Melissa with great news and Chelsea with news of about two hundred friends and colleague at school.
Thanks for all the support
More later
Chris
