A year ago Colin under went his bone marrow transplant. His diagnosis was18 months ago. Still going strong at the moment. I am sitting in clinic with him for his 6 weekly checkup with the specialist. Our usual Dr is on sick leave unfortunately. A second opinion will be interesting. As I drove in today I almost can't believe that I was doing that daily. It seems an age away. We were too scared to look into the future and predict that we would be living an almost normal life again. Retirement suits him I have to admit.
Dr Tim has a completely different approach. He thinks Colin is stable and has reduced his prednisone as it is an extremely high dose. Let us see how that develops.
Colin and my agreement is. I deal with outside and he deals with inside. Still a bit unbalanced as I seem to be inside and outside. Outside with the fine weather is good for the soul. Once I am busy planting and gardening I don't want to come in. Feels amazing as I had to hire help to clear the thicket on the bank "where the wild things are!" ivy, convolvulus, nasturtium, agapanthus and weeds weaved into a solid jungle of triffids between the over grown vines and trees. The help cleared it in no time and I took it to the dump. Still lots of work involved but now I can at least get to it. Managed to plant carrots, beetroot, leeks and spinach seedlings that I bought. Little rascal slugs and snails munched through my organic seedlings. So satisfying. Fingers crossed that it grows.
Still working on organic veges and trying to juice for Colin to improve his immunity. Evidently it will take another year or more after coming off his medications. Which hasn't happened yet. Our friend David has started his immunization Programe which will take 6 months or more. It is like being a newborn again.
We are still managing dance classes with Albert 2 times a week and dancing on a Saturday. It is fabulous exercise and much more fun than hitting the gym.
I am flat out practicing my belly dance routine of 7 dances for a display. The memory is being tested. Especially with the learning of 4 new dances in new vogue.
As friends talk about traveling I am disappointed we can't go too. But I am content that we have each other. That is the main thing.
Boohoo no kisses this week. I have got a sore throat so have to be careful. Colin is wearing a mask all day. Every now and again I feel desperate for a hug and a kiss from him just for reassurance. We always made an effort to kiss goodbye and hello for luck. Read the article above. You will be surprised at how it can help.
