Wife's birthday

Its my wife's birthday today. The kids are excited and sung happy birthday to her in bed. Very cool.
I bought her some flowers. Actual present is coming next week. So watch this space.
 We all had a nice day with friends and family.
Hope to start posting next week what I have read about Leukemia.

Hmm something interesting I guess.

Been another good day.
 Internet is playing up but it could be due to the wet weather.
Still waiting for San Carlos Clinic to give me my deposit back.
Guess I will have to phone them up again, tomorrow.
Earned a whopping €1.32 so far from the adds on this site, at least that will pay for the coffee while waiting to see the doctor.Mind you its early days yet and that's not bad I suppose out of 100 visits I have had so far.
 Just keep clicking.
Been doing some research into Leukemia and what it is exactly. Will post what I have found later this week.
I think the most important thing is to remember life goes on no matter what. And while I count myself lucky (only 15% are diagnosed with the Leukemia I have), I do understand that for some it can be difficult to come to terms with being diagnosed with Leukemia, especially if its not treatable. So for that I count my lucky stars.
I think this must be my longest blog.

Cold Sunday. Winter has arrived

Winter is arriving. Its been raining off and on for most of the week now. And the temperature has been dropping.
Been a relatively good day. The kids wanted chicken burgers again. So I was busy in the kitchen this evening.
Off to bed now.

Friday happy days are here again

Feeling quite up beat today, considering I had an awful nights sleep. Sitting in my favourite bar having a coffee and surfing the web.

Thursday

Since this afternoon I have been really tired. Had a quick nap after lunch, then picked the kids at school. Fell asleep for about an hour at 8 this evening. So now its just after midnight and I am not tired.
Looking forward to the weekend.

Wednesday - good news day

Doctor was pleased with my test results. He said with the treatment I am on that I could be cured in less than 12 months. But it could take longer. Anyway my next visit is in 2 weeks time. Which is better.
I also weighed myself and I am still 68 kg, 6 weeks ago I was 76 kg.

Tuesday 1st November

No post yesterday. Didn't feel very good. So couldn't be bothered to post one. Did pick up my test results and they show that my White blood cell count has dropped from 164000 to 98000, which is good news still a long way to go until I get to the normal 4000 to 11000. Haemoglobin is up its now 11.3 needs to be 13 to 17.5.
I find that my best time of day is from about 08:30 until about  13:00 after that I need a sleep. Not very long about 45 to 60mins is fine. But I am definitely more sluggish  in the afternoons. Physical things take longer.
 More good news is that I fixed the dishwasher, only took a week. Would have taken me a day or two before. It was a small twig stuck in the drain pump impeller. Took it out put it all back together, and no bits left over. Did a quick 30 min wash and it worked. Its just finished a full wash with dishes. So yippee.  Anyway better than spending a fortune for a guy to come out and do the same thing. Probably saved at least 100 euros.
