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

Hi Tessa,
What a difference a year makes and what a year it has been for you (and Man Utd)!!!
So happy you were able to celebrate your birthday at home this year and with a slab of chocolate cake!
Keep caring for those baby cells and I will see you soon!

You're looking good.
Happy Birthday from me, fellow Aquarian. Mine's coming up on the 9th and I will then be TEN years older than you. You think 56 is old? You wait!
Lots of love from down here.

A belated happy birthday. And yes, you are looking remarkably good on it! I can get into a bit of Tessa empathy – I've only been at home off work for a month and boy has the novelty worn off. It's incarceration 24/7. Been working on little projects like films related to teaching. I'm hoping for a full recovery and will appreciate being back in contact at work big time. My cooking and recipes are a bit on hold. All ordered online – boring! Food cooked, wrapped in tin foil and transported via a carrier bag. Thinking of going on Dragon's Den with my innovation. I'm back at Kings College on 12 February – I'd love to throw away the crutches on that day and get back to proper walking on both legs. Anyway – it's a lovely day down here. Spring hopefully will soon be around the corner.
So sorry to have missed your birthday but so pleased to see you looking well with your brothers. I have started a Dog Photography business and off to a gallery in Brighton with 'Vague' on Wednesday. Hope to see you soon
