It’s starting

 I’m in the Hospital. Had blood taken, checked all the charted medicines, and then went out to the pub for counter tea! That was unexpected but no docs wanted to see me on a Sunday evening, so the nurse said go for it. I’m back in the roon thinking about an early night and Bluey has returned to our apartment to finish unpacking. 

We arrived at the building and our sister in law showed up with the keys that she was good enough to pick upon Friday. They helped us take our stuff up to our unit , hookup Joyce’s workstation, and we went out for lunch. Such a great help. 

We were lucky to get a lease on this fubulous apartment across the street from the hospital! And there is an amazing pool,gardens, lounge bbq area on the roof. I’m happy knowing Bluey is comfortable while I’m here getting chemo.

So it’s all quiet and the origin game two is on so a bit of rugby league and off to bed.

I won't hold you in suspense

 Its bad news. 

As I mentioned I have been on a new treatment to hold off the evolution of my disease into  a worse one. That has not worked and I have been diagnosed with Acute Myelo9id Leukamia. I'll be going into0 hospital for a week of Chemo and then three weeks to recover in hospital then 5 months of outpatient treatment.

Bluey and ;I will be moving to Brisbane for 6 ;months in another week and I go into Hospital on Sunday the 26th of June.

Ypu will all go a google this next stage and will be a bit freaked out, I know I am but so far I have been very tolerant of side effects from chemo and have healed fast. remember I have had a month in hospital and five mno0nths after my bo0ne marrow transplant. and I may have mentioned that that I got out of that hospital one day short of setting a record for quick exit.

I'll be on email and phone when I can.
