Pills All Popped

By -
Last night I finished my Fluloxacilin antibiotics that I was taken after having my PICC line removed.

That means I am now only taking one Allopurinol anti-gout tablet in the morning and using the anti-bac mouthwash four times a day. Quite a reduction from when I was on steroids, anti-fungal and stomach tablets as well.

Working a full day and I have also been able to take a turn round the duckpond today ( well a turn and a half in fact ). Not as warm today but pleasant enough.

Just out of interest Simon, can you tell from your blog stats how many users are viewing your blog through an RSS reader?

Hi Yvonne, no it doesn't seem to show that it only lists the main browser types like Safai, IE, Mozilla, Firefox, Konqueror etc.

T + 64 Colds to Left of Them, Cold to the Right of Them

I'm just back from the transplant clinic and everything is steady as she goes. I got an early appointment this week, 08:45 , after last week's long delays. I've kept that time for next week as well. It means I have to get up early and battle a bit of traffic getting in to Birmingham but it also means I have more of the day to myself after the clinic and it's good practice for having to get up when I start working from home again and need to be at my computer for 08:00. As I say everything was fine at the clinic. My counts are doing well so I don't need any more GCSF at the moment. My white cells were 6.3 , my neutrophils were 4.4 and my haemoglobin was up to 11.3, after my transfusion last week. Whether the white cells and neutrophils were up because of the last few drops of GCSF or my bone marrow is kicking up a gear I'm not sure. I guess I'll see how they are doing next week. Whilst I'm fine everyone around me seems to be getting a cold ( and/or sore t

T + 62 The Treacle Stick

I had the usual quiet weekend watching a couple of films back at the flat ( Starship Troopers and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou . Quite contrasting but both good fun in their own way) and popping to Mom and Dad's for lunch on Sunday. The only real "highlight" was receiving my payslip in the post from CEVA . ( We get paid of the 15th of the month in a two weeks in advance, two weeks in arrears arrangement. ) I've now used up all 60 of my full pay sick days and about to, as my Dad would say, go onto the "Treacle Stick" namely standard Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) of £75.40 a week. This latest payslip came in at about half my normal rate as I tipped over the 60 days. I don't quite follow how they have worked out the amount, but given I was expecting a lot less, far be it from me to question my elders and betters in the payroll department. I put it down to that two weeks in arrears, two in advance, it always confuses things like this. Next month I'm

T + 59 Pay Back Time

Yes after giving over a dozen tubes of blood on Wednesday, Thursday was my turn to get some back when I had my thirteenth through fifteenth units of blood since May this year. When you add them all up like that it's a bit scary really. Huge thanks to all you blood donors out there, as they say at the awards ceremonies, I couldn't have done it without you. It was a fairly routine session really. The only "entertaining" part is fitting the cannula as I no longer have access via a hickman line. One of the chemo drugs I had earlier in the year, Methotrexate, is notorious for ruining your veins as far a getting blood into or out of them is concerned. I used to have quite good veins but now when you look at my arms you can hardly see any. However the nurse managed to fit the cannula on the first attempt though she admitted she couldn't see the vein she was aiming for or really feel it either so it was a bit of a speculative shot. After that it was just a question of sit
