Crikey mikey 2 weeks since the last blog! That is absolutely disgusting.
Not much has happened. During our week off from chemo we packed the van up and headed south east to the forests north of Williams and on the eastern side of Albany Highway. The first night at a place called Pomphreys Bridge, nice but large armies of ants forced to move on. So we did, spending the next 2 nights in a Parks WA campsite which despite the rain was very pleasant. We were the only people there and the camp featured gas barbecues, toilets etc at $13.20 per night.....not bad eh? Then we moved on to a very nice farm just north of Williams on Albany Highway, but the heavy rain convinced us to go home on the Friday.
Then last week which was to be a chemo week. However that was not to be, Elaine's Monday blood test showed various deficiencies and a second blood test on Wednesday confirmed that result. So we left home at 8am, got to the hospital at 9am, after a short wait had the blood test and waited for the results and a decision by our medical team. Then they mixed up some blood and Elaine had a transfusion to fix some of the issues, but no chemo. We then had a visit with our pain specialist and finally got home at 4pm without having had the chemo that we set out to get 8 hours earlier.
Never mind Elaine is still travelling well, albeit with some noticeable pain and this week is another week. Hopefully today's blood test will show good results and the chemo will go ahead as planned.
In the meantime all this sitting around is encouraging yours truly to look for things on the internet and accumulate toys. So far the trumpet, although I already had that and just had to service it and get a couple of accessories. Then the drone and now a small trailer sailer trimaran. Maybe they will keep me busy enough not to accumulate any more.
Yay there you are! You've been missed. Sorry to read E has a couple of stumbles to contend with and hope that all settles soon. Let me know if you need me at all. I'm looking forward to hearing you play All in the April Evening very soon (yes, you CAN).
