Day +27

Hi Everyone, well today the big news is that I went outside!! I woke up after not a bad nights sleep. I'm getting used to being off the drugs that make me sleepy. The mummy read to me for a while, then I had a ham wrap and finished watching our DVD. Then I was so excited waiting on my tranfusion to end so I could go out. I got dressed but then felt really ill and got sick but the good thing was I managed not to get any of it on my clothes as they are the only set we have here in Newcastle!! It was so weird wearing my skinny jeans again and the strangest of all was wearing socks and shoes..!! We set off and walked out to the hospital entrance.. not a sore ankle or hip pain in sight. We decided to bring a packet of crisps, so we sat on the bench and ate them. Then we walked around the side entrance back into the hospital. By that time my legs felt a bit wobbly because I was tired. Then when I got back I had a bit of chicken for lunch and then guess what I was sick again! Then Paula came and told us there was a helipcopter outside so off we went again and sat on the bench and watched the helicopter it was huge!! It got a bit cold then so we headed back to my room. Andy came and I did my Wii excercises, he let me off my physical excercises because I had been for a walk. Yay! Then Paula came and we finished our invite to the party. We just have to hang it up outside now and we're done. Then I had my shower, then guess what happened.. I was sick again!! After that I felt better and had a cheese wrap. I didn't do very well taking drinks today so I have to have a drip with some water in while I sleep along with my feed. Yesterday I had some medicine to boost my blood levels up so they are good today, my neutrophils are 2.17. Will hopefully have the donor versus me test results again this week so fingers crossed my percentages will be up again! I can go out everyday now between tranfusions and however many times I like. When I came back I took off my ugg boots and socks and I had a rash because my feet are not used to them, it was a heat rash! I watched my usual double bill of Friends and then Mummy learned how to change the dressing on my line. I'm very nervous getting my dressing changed and never seem to get used to it. Mummy did well though and I will let her do it again tomorrow if she behaves herself :-)). Mummy thought she was a surgeon when she put the gloves and the hair net on.
