Home again

I’m happy to let you know that at this moment, Steve is home and doing well.

The week in hospital went relatively smooth. What we’ve discovered is that the road back to recovery - is a joint effort by everyone.

Steve is certainly doing his bit – especially in hospital – he’s been keeping the nurses on their toes to ensure all aspects of the treatment are administered correctly (after last cycle’s mishap!).

Good that he did this time too because his sharp eyes and ears picked up a couple of more potential mishaps – but all was good in the end.

This was the first time Steve didn’t need a blood transfusion because his levels after the week long chemo hit were still quite good.

It’s amazing how happy such things can make you! (Well I was anyway because it suggested to me that his body was holding up well)

After his usual Tuesday dressing change and blood test, his bloods were still good! Yeh...

Steve is really doing amazing...

Despite the first 2 or 3 days when he felt soooo sick (and was a couple of times) with reflux, nausea, fatigue – he still managed lots of smiles and good conversation in between.

Speaking of conversation – he seems to always say it’s me who loves the phone – but I’m not sure about that.

I must admit the timely calls he receives (the ones when he is looking for a chat to relieve boredom or get a pick me up) are fantastic.

On the way to Maslin’s today he got a call from a cousin who had him in stiches and quite often that quick touch base or funny email does wanders.

We’re also enjoying My Kitchen Rules – it’s more about the entertainment from contestants than the food I’m sure...

When Steve popped into the salon last time – he saw the big card with everyone’s comments,

He got very emotional but all good emotion.

It’s so nice he is getting to hear and see how much he is loved.

This is certainly a wonderful ingredient along the way to getting back to good health and wellness.

Thanks everyone again,

I’ll keep you posted
