Not a lot to report really, other than I'm still doing ok. It's day 13 post chemo now, so I'm nearly through the "crunch" time.  Day 13 last time was when my neutrophils rose to the heady heights of 1.5! Day 14 was when I came out of hospital.  Fingers crossed I don't get the cold that the boys have got - I'm still keeping them at arm's length, spraying with Dettol spray and wiping with Dettol wipes (told you I was paranoid)!

Had visitors today - H and baby Jessica.  Both look brilliant, even though H would have you believe she's pigging out on chocolate (you're not doing bad on it, H!).  Livi was home (sickness and timetable cock-ups at college) and held Jess for a while, until she started crying and then it was quickly back to H!  Chris (working from home) also had to have a go and took her into the dining room, where he was playing some Lou Reed (she soon dropped off to sleep!).

After the visit, we went for lunch at the local garden centre.  I managed to persuade Livi to put her Blackberry away and talk to us.  This meant I had to ignore the text I received.  Chris said he wasn't going to ignore his phone, but didn't receive any calls or texts anyway!  And what look was the well dressed chemo patient going for today?  Well, it was full make-up and 1 of Auntie M's scarf hats.  Oh, and I drove.  This is the first time for a while.  Chemo and meds can make my head go a bit strange (mmmm.....no change there, I hear some of you cry), so it's not worth chancing it.  It was fine though today.  No excuse now for not picking the boys up from school each day.  Although, Chris has gone today, as Vaughan is playing in a school rugby match and he wants to watch.

I watched the first 2 episodes of the first series of Damages yesterday (BBC1 are repeating it) and think I'm hooked (Rob - have you seen it?).  So, I'm looking forward to more of that, along with Mad Men (mmmm......John Hammmmmmm......).  Even Chris doesn't mind when that's on - not surprising with the likes of Christina Hendricks in it (remember her in Firefly, Rob?). 

I'm babbling now (had a coffee at lunch), so it's probably time to go. Have to take Livi to work soon anyway (ooh, get me, driving again!).  Post again soon.
