Hard times

Sorry no blog for a while. Have been having extremely difficult time. A mountain of things going wrong. I can't keep up with it all. The drug I had to control the CMV turned out to be foul and caused many problems. The main one being affecting my bladder. I have a catheter and violent bladder spasms. I need elektrolites daily. Hours worth of drips to replace stuff I am loosing. Today I have 'deranged' vit k levels, which means I am at risk of bleeding. Nightmare. The whole thing is a bloody nightmare. I need some core strength. I feel right now that i will never get out of here. Everyday there is something new to add to the list. I needs vibes and prayers and good wholesome things. Miss the outside. But often feel too bloody to not care that much. Back whenever I can get the energy. Bloggers all, salute... tch xx

Thinking about you - stay strong and positive. Sorry about all the set backs. Sending you positive thoughts and wishes from the US!

I had another round of maintenance chemo on Wednesday - feeling tired but pushing through!

OH Tessa. Yes I wish we could give you a day off and fight some of that horribleness for you. Feeling sick, and ill and scared is so hard...Am going to meditate for your well-being, and hope you can feel calm and strong. Big love from freezing St Leonards where I'm watching the 6 nations!

You'll be back home before you know it just in time for the daffs springing into bloom. Lots of love as always xxxx

Cara Tessa,
finalmente siamo riusciti a leggere il tuo Blog. Noi ti pensiamo sempre e siamo con te in questa battaglia. La piccola Benny sta bene e continua ad osservare il tuo quadro, è incredibilmente attratta dalla tua opera. Noi speriamo di abbracciarti presto a Venezia, anche se verso primavera inoltrata ci piacerebbe far fare a Ben il suo primo volo aereo per venirti a trovare. Un grande abbraccio da parte di tutti noi a te e a Luigi
Marina , Paolo e Benedetta

PS Inviaci la tua mail così ti inviamo foto di Benny

Oh T! Words are not sufficient! Sorry it's such hell! Thinking of you every day! Praying (in an atheist kind of way) that one day, not so far off, we'll share a bottle of prosecco in a Thames-side bar and talk rubbish about phones and a property you've found... Sending all my love. Mxxx

Hi Tessa

Tilly, Kellie and I went out last week. Byron's Burgers. Onion rings, fried courgettes, two different types of chips. I had the healthy option for afters – banana split.There was a bourbon called Knob Creek so that had to be ordered for its name alone.
