Woke up feeling sick - NOT AGAIN!!! I hate the feeling sick more than the being sick-its horrible and I felt really sorry for myself! Once they gave me some medicine in my Hickmann Line though, I felt a bit better and still managed to eat loads! Went to the playroom this morning and we made a puppet theatre with an artist that came. I made a poster for the notice board too. The physio came at 12, but because I had been feeling sick, I couldn't take my paracetamol so my leg was sore, so I couldn't bend it as much as before! She's coming back tomorrow.
Lesley, my mums friend, came to visit in the afternoon, and she bought me 2 lovely t-shirts. It is really boring at the moment because there isn't anyone here that I really know - I will be going home tomorrow though, so thats OK! I will have 2 weeks at home before I come back again!!

Tuesday 29th July 2008

I had a great day today - I think the medicine has worked!!! I managed to eat loads, and not be sick - yet!!! The physio came and I had to bend my leg for the first time today - I was a bit scared at first because I thought it would hurt alot - it did hurt a bit but not as much as I thought it would!! I had the dressing removed and the blue bandage that the doctors put on after the operation was stuck to the glue they used to stick my skin together!!! The nurse had to soak it to get it all off!!! After lunch, dad came, and I went to the playroom for a bit. After that, the physio came again and I sat on the edge of the bed to see if I could bend my leg a bit further. I got it to about 40 degrees!! It hurt a bit, but not too bad.
After she left, Dennis the Menace came to the ward!! I got a t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a Beano comic. I also got some tricks that came with the comic! The Beano is 70 years old, and Dennis is raising money for CLIC Sargeant Childrens Cancer Charity.

Saturday/Sunday/Monday 26th/27th/28th July 2008

Getting a bit behind because mum was enjoying the sunshine at home too much!!! I wasn't because I don't like being hot! Didn't do much Saturday but Nan and Grandad came up to see me. I was much more cheerful this time, and Grandad was a bit happier seeing me like that and not shouting at my mum!! We had sandwiches for lunch that Nan had made, and talked all afternoon. They went around 4pm. I watched more telly - nothing else to do when you can't walk about!! I'm getting quite good with the crutches thing but I have to up and down stairs on my bum because it wears me out otherwise!
Sunday, my sister Katie was running in the Race for Life at Kempton Park. My friend Georgia came round at 10 and we all set off. We met Katie's friend Rebecca who was running too. It was sooooooo hot we had to sit by the first aid tent because that was the only shade! Katie and Rebecca ran round in about 25 minutes, which was good as it was so hot. Georgia said Hi to me on th microphone at the Capital Radio stand and my mum told everyone about me too, and started to cry!! In the afternoon, mum took me, Georgia and Katie to see 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' at the cinema. It was funny.
Sunday night I went to UCH again for the next lot of chemo. I got a room this time, so its nice and quiet! There's no school because its the holidays so there will me more arts and crafts to do, so I'll be happy!! The chemo was delayed until 9.30 at night because they had a fire last week in the building where the chemo is made up and they had to catch up on everyones medicines from last week!! Auntie Janice came in to see me as she was in London having lunch with some old friends. I am trying some different anti-sickness drugs this week to see if they can stop me being so sick-they use it on the teenage ward upstairs, and as I am quite big they said it might work for me - I hope so!! I hate being sick!!

Thursday/Friday 24th/25th July 2008

I got to go home yesterday!! Yippee! My x-ray was fine - I was a bit scared when the lady took off my brace to do the x-ray, but it was OK. I then saw the physio and she showed me how to go up and down stairs - it was really scary at first and I had to sit down at the top of the 4 steps because I was so scared, but when I did it again it was much easier.
When we came home, we had fish and chips, then we went to watch my sister play hockey in Staines. I got a ride out in my wheelchair - it was nice to be in the fresh air for a change!!
I spent all morning Thursday in bed watching telly!! My bed is so comfortable. I only woke mum up twice for the loo, so I got a good nights sleep! In the afternoon Millie came to see me.
Friday I had to get up at 9.15 because the nurse was coming to take my blood and change my dressing. After she left I phoned Georgia to see if she could come and see me - she said yes, but then was ill so didn't come.
This evening I was a bit down on the dumps - I am feeling so well apart from my sore knee, and I don't want to go back into hospital on Sunday. I know I have to, and its not fair. My best friend Rose has moved hospitals so I won't be seeing her any more. I will miss her. Nan and Grandad are coming to see me tomorrow, so that will be nice!! Might cheer me up a bit.

Tuesday/Wednesday 22nd/23rd July 2008

My poo sample came back negative so I haven't got the lurgy!! I am allowed to leave my room and go and play. I can walk on crutches now so its easier to go to the loo. The nurses say that once I have had an x-ray and seen the physio to practice going up and down stairs on crutches (wednesday) I can go home Wednesday!!!! Mum can't wait because she has a bad back from the wooden bed shes been sleeping on - she says she's got bruises all over!! I am happy too - I miss all my friends. We are going to watch my sister play hockey tonight, so we can have a family outing!! At least I get a nice long time at home before going back to hospital for more chemo on Sunday night. I have requested fish and chips for tea as a special treat..........!!!

Sunday/Monday 20th/21st July 2008

This morning (Monday), because I still had a bad tummy, the nurses sent a sample off to the lab for testing in case i had a tummy bug, and they had to put me in an isolation room so I didn't pass any bugs on to anyone else!! Mum was pleased because it was quieter, and we had our own toilet and shower, but I am not allowed out of the room to go and play!! I felt ok, so I was a bit annoyed and very bored. My cousins Jo and Lucy came to see me on Sunday with Katie and Dad - they bought me a great pair of slippers and some yummy sweets. We went to the playroom before I was locked in my room and I went on the computer while they played pool with Katie.
The physio got me standing up again and I even managed to walk to the toilet on my frame today!!
Auntie Janice and Uncle Mike came to see me on Monday, and brought me a sequin picture to make. They saw me standing and walking to the toilet and they thought I was clever!!
Tomorrow the physio is going to make me walk on my crutches!! Still waiting for the sample results to come back so Monday was spent in my room again. Had a restless night, went to the loo 3 times, and had a pain in my leg. I had some medicine and managed to get to sleep.

Saturday 19th July 2008

Had a good day today until bedtime! I felt better, and managed to get out of bed, on to the commode to go to the toilet, and even managed to go into the toilet too!! I ate loads as well, and had crispy duck and pancakes. Dad came and stayed the night in the bed next to me, and mum went to her room for a good nights sleep for a change - good job, because I was up all night being sick - too much food!!. Poor dad had to sort me out and clean me up, change my sheets and get me on to the commode! When mum came back in the morning at 7.30, she sent dad back to the room for some more sleep - the nurses told her he had coped with it all very well!

Friday 18th July 2008

Felt a bit rough today as I really need to go to the loo, but can't get on the toilet to go!! Nan and Grandad came to see me today and brought me some craft things to do. I was a bit grumpy as I had loads of Oramorph (morphine) for the pain in my leg and some Piriton to help with my itching that I've got from the Oramorph!!! All this medicine makes me sleepy! This afternoon the physio got me on to a commode to try and go to the loo but it didn't work! At least I got up off the bed today - it hurt alot!
Later on, I got back on the commode and I did go to the loo - yippee!! I then felt much better and wanted to eat loads - I hadn't eaten since Monday night! Its horrible keep talking about poo and weewee, but thats all the nurses seem to do in hopsital - I wish they would just leave me alone!
Everyone in the ward here has gone home tonight, except me, a boy called Joseph and another little girl. Its really quiet,and mum got to sleep in the bed next to me last night - she was more comfortable but still kept snoring as usual!

Thursday 17th July 2008

What a day this has been !!!! Last night, my temperature was still high, so they sent me down for a chest x-ray at 10.30pm! The radiographer had to come in from home especially! It was really spooky going down there when no one else was about. The doctor had a look at the x-ray and it was OK, so it wasn't that making me hot. They had a think about me and decided to leave everything as it was last night- this morning I woke up and they changed my antibiotics to 2 lots,and it has helped. My temperature has been fine all day.
I had a bed bath today with a nurse and my mum.Then the nurse came in and took the 2 drains that were on my leg out - it hurt and I screamed!! Then the same nurse took out my epidural - the fine tube that was in my spine, having medicine pushed down it stopping my leg from hurting. I was very scared and I cried when she took it out, but once it was done it felt much better and my back isn't sore any more. I've now got to take medicine for the pain if I get any.
Once I had that out, the physiotherapist came and the nurse took of my backslab cast and all of my dressings. I saw the scar-its not as big as I thought it would be, and it isn't all bloody either!!
Mum said they had made a good job of it and the doctor was good at sewing!Some of the scar has been glued together, and the bit over my knee cap has stitches!!! The only trouble is that there is a bandage stuck to the glue - the nurse said she will leave it on until the glue dissolves, or it will hurt!
The scar is about 30cm long from just above my knee cap.The nurse put a smaller white dressing on the front of my leg and the physio put a splint on my leg to keep it straight. Then she sat me up on the edge of my bed, and I put my good leg on the floor. I went a bit dizzy because I hadn't sat up for 3 days but it felt great to sit up again. I put my own pyjamas on and felt better.
We also watched a magic show by Magic Dave and Daisy the Cow!! They came on to the ward and he was really funny!
I decorated some candles today then tried to have some tea but I was sick all over my clean pyjamas and mum and the nurse had to change me again!!!I was really tired after all that so I went to sleep. Nan and Grandad are coming to see me tomorrow so I hope I feel better by then!

Wednesday 16th July 2008

Mum writing this - Sarah is asleep!!
Yesterday was incredibly traumatic for all of us. We were first on the operating theatre list so were woken up at 6am to prepare Sarah for surgery. She had a wash, and cleaned her teeth and put on her sexy hospital gown and paper knickers!!! We were taken down at 8.30 and Sarah was put to sleep at 8.45am. Dave and I walked around the hospital and had a full fried breakfast to try and calm us down a bit!! (It didn't work!) We watched a bit of telly and were called back to the recovery room at 12.50pm. It was the longest 4 hours of our lives!! Sarah was awake when we got there and a bit upset because her throat was sore from where they had put a tube down her throat to give her oxygen. She had some painkillers and calmed down a bit. She wiggled her toes to show that her bad leg was still working and the surgeon came and told us it all went well, and he had removed the tumour completely - yippee!! Sarah now has a back-slab cast on (one that doesn't go all the way round the front, just on the back of her leg to hold it straight, and loads of bandages. She has an epidural in her spine to block the pain signals so she says her leg isn't painful. We spent the night in the High Dependancy Unit so they could keep an eye on her. I had to sleep on a plastic chair leaning on the edge of Sarahs bed - not to be recommended!! Dave slept on the ward on the camp bed I had managed to find the night before!. Sarah had a bit of a temperature over night, and had to be rolled over twice to stop her getting bedsores. She cried a bit because it was so sore, but she was very brave. The worst bit is over now, and all we have to concentrate on now is getting her sitting up and walking about on her crutches - that should be fun..................

Monday 14th July 2008

I stayed in bed all morning today, after I was sick this morning! I was going to go to school but changed my mind. After I was sick I felt better, and managed to eat cheerios for breakfast and had mash and beans for lunch - my favourite meal at the moment. I had a bath and got dressed and we left for the hospital at 2pm. I got a nice bed in the corner and we can open the windows so we get some fresh air. The nurse came and asked questions, and the man who will put me to sleep told me what he was going to do. A surgeon came and asked me some questions too, and drew 2 arrows on my leg! Mum thought he was going to play noughts and crosses! He did it so they cut the right leg open! Then Mr Pollock, my surgeon came to see me and examine me ready for the operation. He explained what he was going to do. I don't really want to know! I had loads to eat as I can't eat after midnight, and I can't drink anything after 6am!
I am first on the list in the morning and I am going to Intensive Care afterwards for 24 hours so I won't be able to write anything for a couple of days, and then I will be the bionic woman and can write all about it!

Saturday/Sunday 12th/13th July 2008

Had quite a good day today - got up about 10.30, had breakfast and went to A Country Affair. On our way in, a lady gave us 3 guest passes so we got in for nothing!!! It was OK, but not that great - I got a new pashmina -white with black stars on it. I also got a little light in the shape of an angel- it changes colour really slowly, and its really pretty. On the way home, we went to Pets at Home to complain 4 of my new fish died, and they gave us 4 new ones for nothing!!! I went to Tescos with mum, and bought loads of food to take to hospital!!
When I went to bed, I was really sick!! I had eaten too much, a whole giant packet of spare rib flavoured Sensations!!! I felt better afterwards though and had a good nights sleep!
Sunday was a lazy day. I stayed in bed until 12 o'clock, then got up for breakfast/lunch! At 3pm, I went to see mamma mia at the cinema with katie and mum. IT WAS FAB!!!! Mum said it was the best film she had seen in ages, and she cried at the wedding!! She's so silly!!
I played with my friend Emily then went to bed early.

Friday 11th July 2008

My last day at Trafalgar!!!!! I had to get up at 8 am this morning which was a bit of a shock because I usually lie in until about 10am in hospital!! We went to Teddington School first to see the 'Pastoral Manager' who will make sure everything is OK for me when I go in to school in September. She wrote down all the things mum and dad told her, and will organise some lessons to be done in the canteen instead of me having to walk around school and go up and down stairs!! She was really nice.
Then I went to school. I had a nice day with my friends, and I took loads of pictures, and got everyone to sign my t-shirt. In the afternoon, we had achievement assembly - it was supposed to be in the hall but someone set the fire alarm off and the fire brigade came in fire engines and everything!!!! We had the presentation in the classroom instead, and I got my book 'Paddington Abroad' as a present from the school.
I had crispy duck and pancakes for tea, and watched Big Brother on the TV. If its not raining in the morning, we are going to 'A Country Affair' in Richmond - a big country fair at Old Deer Park. I hope its sunny.
Chris Henry, the nurse from Stanmore Hospital phoned today and said my operation is on Tuesday now, so I get an extra day at home. We have to go in on Monday afternoon instead of Sunday.

Thursday 10th July 2008

Last day in hospital today before my operation! Went up to the playroom upstairs and got loads of stuff to do - I did mosaic tile coasters - I made one with a K on it for my sister, and I did some braiding. This afternoon I went to school and did mental maths and then made a secret book again like I did 2 weeks ago, but I finished it this time!!! I was quite hungry today and I had a cheeseburger happy meal for lunch, plus a munch bunch yoghurt, and some quavers. I drank loads of milk and had tomato soup too ! Katie came to see me today and we played games while we waited for my blood results. At 5.30pm the nurse told me I was clear and could go home - she disconnected me from my drip and I was free!! I like that bit!! I have put some pictures of the type of knee I am going to have on my blog! It looks like Robocop!!! The big spike at the bottom will go in to the bottom of my shin bone to hold it in place, and the spike at the top will go in to the bone in my thigh to hold it all together. The big silver bit is the knee!! It won't ever break, and it will be really strong!! Its really heavy too - heavier than a metal hammer!! I thought it was too heavy for me, but it is made the same weight as the bone they will take out!!
I am going to school tomorrow for the last ever day at junior school - I am really sad, but I will take loads of pictures!

Wednesday 9th July 2008

Not a bad day today - I woke up about 9am and watched a bit of telly - I had quavers for breakfast!!! At 10.30 I went upstairs to collect a mirror to paint from the play lady, June. I painted it in my room - its got paw prints all over it saying 'Sarah's mirror, paws off!' I made mum go out in the rain and buy me chicken nuggets again for lunch - she got wet!! I went to school this afternoon, and Chris Henry, the bone tumour nurse came to see my mum to tell her all about my operation. She brought in a false metal knee to show us, and she came in to school to show me what it looked like and what was going to happen!!! It will be really strong, and it will move like a real knee - I will still keep my knee cap too, so it will look like the other one except I will have a big scar. Its really clever because it will have a magnetic motor inside it that can make the knee grow if I get taller, without having another operation!!!
After school, we had a little party for a boy called Chris who finished his last chemo today - he had a new knee in February and he's finished his treatment now. I can't wait until it's my turn for a party for my last chemo - you get a present too!!! I'll have to wait until November!! We had coke and lemonade, crisps, chocolate cake and haribos!! Dad and Katie came to see me too, and Katie is soooooo brown - she's been on holiday in Cyprus - my favourite place!! We are going to Disneyland Paris at Christmas though, from my wish that I asked for from Starlight Childrens Charity!!!! So I'm not that jealous really!!!
My Methotrexate level was 0.38 today and it has to be less than 0.1 before I can go home, so we are here for another night!!!
Will write more tomorrow xx

Monday, was OK - I started my hydration at 6am and had to take a tablet at midnight and 6am!! I would sleep really well in hospital if they didn't keep waking me up!!!
I went to the playroom at 10.30, but Jessie, the play specialist was on holiday so mum and I started making the ragdoll that Sophie had given me. I did the cutting out, and pinning together, and mum did the sewing.
Chemo started at 12 o'clock and lasted for 4 hours - this one isn't too bad, but it makes your wee go BRIGHT YELLOW!!!! I went to school tafter dinner too - we did English and I wrote a poem about the sun -it goes like this:-
What is the Sun?
The sun is like a piece of hot crispy brown toast popped out of the toaster
The sun is like a yellow soft sunflower swaying in the cornfield
The sun is like a round fat shiny clock ticking on the town hall wall
The sun is like a delicate light bulb glowing in the dark
The sun is like a rough rubber baseball whizzing across a playing field
Its like a furry warm apricot waiting to be eaten

Mum really liked it, and so did Rachel, my teacher!
At tea time, we were told they had a baby coming in and she had had an infection so needed our room, so we had to move! There was only 1 bed left and it was the smallest bed in the bay. They just pushed me out in my bed so they didn't have to make a new bed for me!
I was really sick Monday night - all the MacDonalds I had eaten. The nurses gave me nozinan which is a antisickness medicine which makes you sleepy. I fell asleep and every time I got up to go to the toilet in the night, I shouted at my mum - I told her I hated her and she was an idiot!!! I don't remember saying that - I didn't mean it!!
Tuesday morning I didn't wake up until 10, and had 2 hash browns from MacDonalds for breakfast! I didn't go to the playroom because I was sleepy, but I did do some more of my ragdoll - mum had finished the legs and I stuffed them - we went upstairs to the playroom to see the lady there because we ran out of stuffing, and she had some more.
In the afternoon I went to school again and did drama with some drama students - we made hand puppets out of socks, and mine is called Grumpy Grainger.While I was gone, mum managed to get us in to another room, so when I came back I was in my 3rd bed since Sunday!!! Hopefully we can stay here this time!
I couldn't stop eating Tuesday night - I had chicken nuggets for lunch, I had sausage hotpot for tea, and tomato soup - and fruit cocktail, Oreos, and quavers!!!! Mum thought I was going to be sick, but I wasn't!!

Tuesday 8th July 2008

Hi everyone!
Couldn't write before today because the hospital computer had blocked my blog!! Said it had 'adult content'!!! We reported it and today they have released it, so I can write again!
Anyway, we came in Sunday night and were given a room - it's so much nicer to have a room, as you can walk around and use your own toilet, and you don't have to whisper in the middle of the night! Apart from having my blood taken and seeing a doctor to check me over, nothing happened!!

Saturday 5th July 2008 - HSM Day!!!

Woke up quite early considering mum took me to West Middlesex Hospital last night because she thought I was 'Looking Pale'!! She thought I might need a blood transfusion!! I told her I felt OK, but she insisted on taking me any way! We got there at 9.45pm, and by 10.45pm, the doctor still hadn't come because he was treating a sick baby, so we gave up waiting and mum took me home. The nurses didn't like it much,but I felt fine, and I was tired and wanted to go to bed!
When I got up I still felt OK, so mum took me to Pets at Home and I bought some more fish for my aquarium. I bought 4 guppys, 2 bottom feeders, and a Japanese Fighting Fish - its pink!! He doesn't look very happy at the moment so I hope he will be OK!!
Dad took us up to the Hammersmith Apollo at 6pm for High School Musical, and we picked up our tickets from the boxoffice. We were in the wheelchair spaces, which was like having our own special box - it was at the back, but higher than everyone else so we could see over everyones heads. We were the only ones in there so it was like our own private box! It was a premier tonight in aide of the Great Ormond Street Charity so there were loads of celebrities there with their kids - we saw Linford Christie, Jason Donovan, Vanessa Phelps, Linda Robson, Bonnie Langford, Michael Ball, David Grant and Gillian McKeith, and I got autographs from Bonnie Langford, Michael Ball, Gillian McKeith, and David Grant. The show was fab - me and mum were singing at the back!!
Afterwards, we had to wait a bit for the limo jeep to pick us up, so we went to the stage door, and got the autographs of a few of the cast too. Then we got the limo jeep home - it was cool with all the disco lights flashing and the music on!! I really had a great time, and my mouth ulcers are nearly gone too!!!

Friday 4th July 2008

Happy Independance Day all you Americans (do I know any???!!!)
Back to me now - ulcers are nearly gone, but my mouth is still sore. I got up at 10am because the nurse was coming - She came and changed my dressing and took my blood test. She looked at my mouth and said it didn't look too bad( it is, its really sore!!). Waited in for the wheel chair man and he hadn't come at 12 o'clock - dad phoned them at 12.30 and went mad at the lady because she said they had cancelled again!!! They came at 1pm - they must have been scared of him-he nearly threatened them with my mum-scary!!! I went to school at 2pm, and then went to Millie's for tea. I managed to have lasagne and 2 flapjacks!
came home and had fish fingers and mash (I was hungry!!Haven't eaten really since Saturday!!)
I'm going to bed early tonight coz I'm going to HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL TOMORROW!!!!! Yippee!!! I'm so excited!
Will write on Sunday and tell you what it was like!

Thursday 3rd July 2008

Well, my ulcers were a bit better today - although my lip was bleeding in the night and I woke up with blood on my pillow - yuck!!!!
Mum made me get up at 10.30 and I even managed to clean my teeth a bit with a cotton bud and a tiny bit of toothpaste, so my breath isn't so bad today!! I washed my mouth out with a mouth wash too so hopefully the ulcers will start to heal.
I had a milkshake for breakfast, and we were going to go to the cinema to see Prince Caspian, but it was 2 hours and 25 minutes long and I couldn't be bothered to sit there for that long! Instead I asked mum to take me 10 pin bowling. We went for 1 game and half way through I was really sick - all over mums cardigan, my trousers, the floor and in my shoes!!!! Luckily we were the only ones there, so no one saw and mum managed to clear it up without anyone noticing! I felt better afterwards, and I made mum finish the game and I beat her by 1 point - lol!!!!
I went home after that (with no shoes on because they were full of sick!)and had a rest before Georgia came round with Hannah - they really cheered me up. I managed to eat mash and beans and a yoghurt for tea,and I had a bath and cleaned my teeth again so I smell nice and sweet again!
I am going to try and go to school tomorrow after the nurse has been to change my dressing and taken my blood, and the wheelchair people have been to put my legrest on my wheelchair for after the operation. I hope I feel well enough - I really miss school and there aren't many days left for me to go!! Keep the comments coming - they're great!!

Wednesday 2nd July 2008

I thought I would update you all on my ulcers instead of waiting a few days!!!
I woke up at 11.45 this morning (although mum kept waking me up to take my tablets at 7 and 11!!!!-Pest!!!)
I still felt horrible and I was so tired - I hadn't eaten since Sunday - not like me at all!!!! I've lost about 6 kg!!!! Anyway, mum gave me a strawberry milkshake to try and give me some energy and it worked a bit - my throat isn't so sore today, but my lips are still really sore. I had another glass of milk after that, and mum made me clean my teeth with some gauze wrapped around my finger and some warm water - she said I had bad breath - I hadn't cleaned my teeth since Sunday either - GROSS!!!! I can't get a toothbrush in my mouth because the bristles hurt, and the toothpaste stings.At about 1.30, I managed to eat some chicken soup through a straw!!! It was nice to eat something and made me feel a bit better. After the soup, I had a bath, and washed my hair (ha, ha, I still have a tiny bit left you know!! Mum still has to brush it sometimes when it sticks up!!)Mum didn't think she would have to wash my hair for ages and was glad because I always make a fuss! I still made a fuss today - keep her on her toes!!
I stayed in bed all day today watching telly - I couldn't be bothered to get up. At tea time, I had mashed potato and baked beans - I was so hungry, it was great to eat proper food. My next door neighbour gave me a present today - a High School Musical T-Shirt and a baseball cap - I am going to wear them on Saturday when I go to see the show - AND I might be going in a limo!! I am so excited!!!! Bye for now - will write more tomorrow.Keep you comments coming - its nice to hear from you xxx

Tuesday 1st July 2008

Had a better night, but my throat is still a bit sore, and my mouth is very sore with ulcers inside top and bottom and I can't eat anything because it stings. Dr Shankar had a look and has decided to send me home! I will now have to have the last chemo next week, and have my operation on 14th July instead. They have given me antibiotics to get rid of the ulcers and I will have to keep taking those tablets 3 times a day until I finish my treatment so they don't come back! Yuck!
I made the car Miss Duffy sent me last night - it was fiddly and quite hard but mum helped and it works - we had it going all over the floor of the ward last night!!
Just waiting for Dad to come and get me now.
Next blog will be in a couple of days!!
