Can you believe it’s 3 years today since my second stem cell transplant? Man oh man has that time just shot by.
Obviously a huge amount to feel grateful for, which I do on a daily basis.
Perhaps a touch ironic though that the hideous back pain here now is serving as a reminder that Its definitely not all plain sailing.
Just got out of the dinghy back onto our hired boat after dinner on shore and it took me a full ten minutes to manoeuvre into position centimetre by centimetre until I could crawl, face on the floor, back on the rear platform of the boat. Very very painful to the point I could practically hear myeloma laughing at me as I edged my way in the most ungainly way possible back on board.
thank god we ditch this boat tomorrow and head to Nelson. Where a lovely looking hotel with a bath tub – tock – and a heated pool – double tick – await.
And on Monday I see an Urgent Care nurse hopefully for a pile of new stronger painkillers. Fingers crossed x x.
