Neutrophil generators

After 5 phone calls to the oncology unit, I finally got a call back after 14h00 to inform me that the medical aid has approved the injection. Madness really when you think about the time and effort that has gone into processing the approval vs the administration which took seconds! This magic potion is going to kick my bone marrow into action and get them generating cells! And the side effect is sore bones…. Argh again… Chemo causes sore bones and this too!! We are keeping to the schedule of blood test Friday morning and chemo Monday 14th.

I am expecting Dylan home this afternoon, he has spent a week away with friends camping and hiking in the Cederberg. After the initial homecoming I am sure he will be heading straight for the shower and then bed. I missed the bugger. I must thank the parents who took both Dylan and Sean for a holiday during this school break. Really appreciate it!!

Lieve Ada,
Op cell geen antwoord.
Blij te zien Tog na veel moeite wel goedkeuring. We all have to get used to new SA speed. Het gaat net als met taxies. Met stoten en stampen. Maar uiteindelijk kom je er wel qweer boven op. Onthou RUSTEN RUSTEN en nogmaals RUSTEN. Nevermind die honde haren opzuigen. Die blijven best liggen hoor. Ha Ha !!
Ja je b ent net als je moeder en je Oma. Op 6 februarie 1961Toe jiij geboreen ben moest je moeder eerst nog de honde haren zuigen en de keukenvloer schrobben.
#uur later lag ze met jou tussen de benen met hele vuile knieen op het kraambed.Wij, de dokter en de nurses allemaal hard gelachen.
En toen je na 4 dagen thuis kwam lagen er nog steeds honde haren.
Blij Dylan is er ook weer. Love you en bid voor je. Jou PA.
