On the hair font it is a similar story to yesterday - it is still coming out but at a greatly reduced rate. It is quite strange having virtually no hair, when I go to bed I can actually feel the pillow with my head (as opposed to feeling my hair on the pillow). I’m not sure if it is the change in the weather or my lack of hair but I am sure since it has gone my body temperature has dropped by at least half a degree (don’t forget I have it checked every four hours here).
On the medical side the consultant I saw yesterday did not really have anything new to add… just wait and see what happens. The last two stitches that I had in my shoulder (for the Hickman line) came out yesterday, I’m really impressed with the nurse that took them out, I did not feel a thing. After the dressing when back on the place where they came out is a little bit tender. I’m very pleased they are out because this is another (all be it small) milestone in my treatment.
On a reflective note it was only four weeks ago today that I went to register with a GP. The first time I have been registered in 25 years (well I never get ill). Even though I have been confined to this room for virtually all of that time it feels like it has actually gone very fast. I think a lot of that is down to the support I’m getting from family and friends (thanks).
It was great to see Karen last night…
… another 9k on the bike yesterday, I’m going to be fitter when I get out of here than when I came in…
