Life is becoming a bit routine. We start the week with a blood test Monday morning then we go to chemo on Wednesday. Last week we had a bit of variation with a visit the oncologist on Monday afternoon. Then we went to the shops on Tuesday and Elaine did very well looking for a present for a 3 yo with a birthday was on Wednesday and a party on the weekend. Wednesday as above and on Thursday I did a bit if work in the morning and some friends that we have not seen for ages dropped info a chat. Friday more of the same followed by our Friday night dinner hostess coming to us for dinner.

So all that mad a liar of the routine bit, but it was a most unusual week. I should add that we baby sat, using our van, on Saturday night and had Lyla for lunch followed by the birthday party on Sunday.

The effect on Elaine was that she was tired and her aches and pains were a little more obvious. There are still lots of bits of aches, pains and just not feeling well to put up with almost non-stop. But she does that and still does little bits and pieces. Last week she made choke soup, today verge soup and a chicken dish for dinner. She is paying for all that right now, tucked up in bed and feeling buggered. All in all though she is doing well in herself.
