Ok, I'm guessing you're unable to type because of the sickness, but hopefully maybe someone is reading the thread to you?

Nearly through the week. Just tomorrow to go, and then if your doctors were right you will start the upward curve? Then it really will be onwards and upwards just as you predicted :-)

Keep your courage and strength going

Here's another daft story, in case you can still read things and are dreadfully bored....

Echoing StillProcrastinating. And some good news about my db... He is on day 9 after receiving my stem cells, and his leucocytes (sp) have just started increasing. Hope you're riding through this tricky phase and will soon be feeling better

Thank you for finding the energy to update.

It was clear to all that you must have been bumping along rock bottom for a few days.

Here's to you starting the slow climb back up now. I really hope that throat starts to feel better soon.

Aethelfleda · 24/10/2014 12:30

What a lovely picture! The big smile says everything about what a positive, brave and generally fab mum you are.

Sorry you have been feeling awful but WELL DONE for getting this far, take each hour as it comes, hope you are feeling less icky very soon.

And hope those hallucinations become entertaining, if you're going to have them, they might as well be fun!
