A brave Bad Fairy......

…..this time I didn’t run away!


I did it! I went to the hospital, stayed in and had the stomach drain done. It has helped and I do feel a bit more comfortable…..but not sure I’d do it again unless entirely necessary. As revenge my body retaliated and I now have water balloons for legs! Oh and, after coming home on Friday, I came down with a lovely tummy bug. Another reason to avoid hospitals where possible.

It’s now Wednesday and despite feeling absolutely shattered I do feel like I’m living on the same planet as other people again which can’t be a bad thing.

After my tummy settled down I also started yet another new chemotherapy. This time we’re trying Capacitabine. This one is a two weeks on tablets and one week off. Dr Socks has started me on a 50% dose in the hope he doesn’t have to suffer my wrath for overdosing me! I’ve no idea how it’s working yet, I don’t actually feel any different. Time will tell I suppose.

In between all of this it’s been “back to school” time too. The Junior Bad Fairies both enjoy school so it’s not too much of a difficult time. Other than the usual spending money like water on uniforms and shoes. Master Bad Fairy came home yesterday, chuffed as a little monkey. He’s been voted onto the School Council by his classmates and couldn’t stop grinning.

Well that’s it for this update, it’s getting a bit tedious all of this medical stuff don’t you think? I shall make a concerted effort to inject a few “off topic” posts over the coming weeks to brighten things up again!
