Just seen Prof for my pre-hols peeing in a pot and blood test and all is good. So good that he spent most of the session discussing the minutiae of rugby rules in the Lions game with Hawksey. Hello, I was still sitting there you know!!
I did at least manage to discover that I don't have Light Chain Myeloma (hurrah), my light chain ratios however are improving (what?), as an immuno-suppressed person I should get a Swine Flu vaccine if they're ever finally ready and that it's time to do another stem cell harvest (good thing in that blood is top notch at the moment, bad as it means another 3 bloody days attached to a machine in the London Clinic, trying not to need the loo for a 5 hour stint). Arse, that can wait till after hols.
Did I mention hols? 3 days AND COUNTING – to the Phoenix / river tubing / Grand Canyon / Bryce & Zion Canyons / Las Vegas / Australian Bee Gees / Phoenix girly bonanza. Hurrah hurrah hurrah.
Get that first G&T in my sweaty over-excited palm on Saturday and my liver won't know what's hit it. Burgers, American diner corned beef hash, tuna melt bagels a go-go, all washed down with endless martinis and vodka lemony things. Bring it on – somehow seems so much more exciting as going on hols was forbidden fruit for a while and I never really knew if the much hoped for plans would actually turn into reality. Plus we're going in Club – the wonders of the Amex Companion Voucher, I knew all that 'do you take Amex?' shit in shops was worth it in the end!
But with 3 days to go, its looking like a dead cert (famous last words!) so here's to Thelma and Louise giving it large across Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Yee hah!!!! Sx
PS Promise will get photos on here soon – when Hawksey gets my camera back from his boat – in Ireland!
