Today I am 56!
Yikes, that feels old! but I am still here to celebrate. It feels like quite an achievement!
Brothers x 2 came round for tea and fat chocolate cake (with candles) and a mini rendition of
Happy Birthday to You. I am very happy! I am alive and kicking (unlike Man Utd…)
Laid low this week (still laying) with nasty throat infection. On antibiotics. My baby stem cells clearly having a hard time trying to get rid of infection. So I am treating them very tenderly. Bloods are down a bit, but to be expected with infection nagging away at my tonsils.
Last night I lay in bed and watched the moon steal across the sky (looking like a large chunk of half stilton). There was Jupiter too. Incredibly bright. I was full of thoughts. Awake till 2am (exhausted now).
Quick blog this - basically for a bit of blatant self publicity and to say thanks to all of you for the stream of texts, emails, phone calls, birthday cards and presents that have been bouncing in all day. It was great to hear from you all. What bunch of brilliant friends.
Below is a birthday photo, taken just now. Hair is back big time! Also a"selfie" with me and my brothers. Will write another blog soon with a catch up. Though nothing much has changed - weekly visits to HOP for blood tests. Scan on my eyes which are being troublesome. The usual list. And my medication consumption still hasn't reduced - apart from having a lower dosage of steroids.
bIg hug to everyone. Back soon tch xx
