One down

Five to go...

So far so good.

Worst bit was waiting two and a half hours to be seen. Oh well, that's NHS time*. Once we got in it took what seemed like nanoseconds to pump five different drugs into me.

Nurse said: "Don't worry about the air bubbles. It's a myth that they can kill you." How reassuring. Up until then, I hadn't been worried!

Feeling fine right now. No sickness, and hair intact. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Meanwhile the lovely JP is cooking casserole to eat while I can still taste.

Thanks for all your messages of support, and thanks to those who've been through this for telling me what to expect (especially the tip about ice cubes and prickly bum sensation!)


* There are three time zones in the UK: GMT, British Summer Time, and NHS time. NHS time may be several hours behind.
