Slight detour...Update

I'm writing this from a hospital bed in Bournemouth Hospital having been admitted yesterday unexpectedly. I'm doing ok now I'm on pain relief but the complications I've had With an existing health condition worsened by the chemo unfortunately took a turn for the worst Thursday night, worsening until we made a decision that the pain was too much for me manage so in to ward 11 for some nice morphine!:) without going in to too much detail they think ive torn internally which quite possibly is now infected and in an area renowned, I've now learnt, to be very painful. I've had a problem since I had Millie so whilst it's not been caused by chemo it has worsened it greatly. Thankful for the wonderful Haematology Drs though! The whole situation isn't helped that I am neutropenic, a condition where your White blood cells drop very low putting you in danger of fighting infection. Sadly mine have been 0.1 despite injections to get my body to produce more. Bit of a pickle as Surgeons can't investigate/operate until my levels are up to 2 but it could well be that my wound is causing an infection stopping the White blood cells from rising. Bit of a pickle! So we've all agreed get MRI done tomorrow ( no one is on to do it today/yesterday due to bank holiday) see what we can see, wait for White blood to increase helped by antibiotics fighting my possible infection/internal wound and hope I can get in surgery in next few days. Sigh.

Palarva is my word for the day! :)

To be honest we knew I'd have to get my ongoing condition sorted sometime after chemo but it's torn so badly now that I'm left with no choice. Pain has dictated that. Well, was hoping to have May off but looks like that's not the case.

But had some wonderful news.... I'm in REMISSION ! :0

Found out yesterday that they have put me in remission pile and despite still needing MRI etc they are seeing it as a precaution only. So weird to have the R word as no one had actually said it though they've hinted. So chemo is over at least just got to deal with my 30yr old body falling apart. Honestly, if you are fit and healthy you have a MASSIVE amount to be thankful for, remember to stop and think about the blessing you have in just the wonder of your body. I used to take it for granted and I've never been so aware of what a precious creations are bodies are. Say Thank you today :)

Anyway enough of Genevieve's word for the day...

So it is a watch this space about this whole next stage to the Gen saga :)

Prayers for healing, Grace for some v.obnoxious and unnecessarily rude surgeons and for pain management would be great. Also especially for little Millie who is not allowed to visit as I'm in an infection control area so I may not see her for a week! We're going to miss each other a lot so pls pray she has abundant Grace during what has been a very testing time for the little tot.
