It wasn't
intentional but I note it's been 40 days (and 40 nights) since my last
post. No particular reason behind the symbolic number but I'm glad I
caught it.
There's been lots
going on, but not a lot has happened since I last posted. I went through a
very tired phase where I was waking at ten or so, and sleeping for several hours
after a walk to the village or to the beach, and not summoning up energy to do
much in between. I've had another couple of days in hospital, and am still
taking a couple of types of anti- biotics though they dont seem to be having
much effect.
But my first three
months are over - without serious incident. The 100 days symbolic barrier
has passed too. So should I get any GVHD from now on it will be classed as
Chronic rather than Acute. Still the same causes and effects - but now the
attitude would be more 'you may have to learn to live with this' than 'Hmmm -
let's see how we can get rid of this' . But on the whole I'm not
expecting much.
I'm not much of a
fan of new year's resolutions (If a change needs to be made then make it. Why
wait till mid winter when motivation is at it's lowest ebb? ). But now I'm here
I can at least resolve not to take any more 40 day breaks from posting. I shall
make more of an effort to post frequent rather than long messages. And now that
I have a digital camera (Thank s to my lovely Christmas elves!) I can always
find something to put up.
Sorry for being out
of touch, and thanks for all the emails and enquiries after my health. But
now it's midnight. 23:59 to 2008. And
counting.
