one good, one bad (news)

I had 2 more bags of blood yesterday, and 1 bag of platelets, and despite taking my pyjamas to the hospital I didn't need to stay in! Woohoo. I also asked the doctors why my blood counts hadn't come up yet. They're not worried, it can take a long time, up to 6 weeks I was quoted, the more chemo I have had the longer it takes, and mini-BEAM is notorious for giving you a long term kick. That's fine and dandy but in the mean time I am having lots of blood. I've lost count now.

In other news, in my continuing quest to promote Apple products, I almost required myself a new Apple product this morning, when in a fit of madness I managed to knock approximately 350ml of honey and vitamin C concoction juice all over my shiny, aluminium skinned, pride and joy (that's a MacBook Pro to you). Luckily (or unluckily?) I managed to save the little inanimate beauty from an untimely death. I had to laugh, I wouldn't have laughed, but now I have accidental damage insurance I laugh in the face of danger. This time I won't be claiming as there is no damage.
