ow ow ow.
I've decided that I might as well update this as much as possible, because it is the only way I can communicate what is happening to me to people.
I had surgery this morning. I had a bone marrow aspirate, which is where they put a big needle in your back and suck out some of the liquid bone marrow. I also had a lumbar puncture, where they take some spinal fluid to see if that's still clear, and I had some chemotherapy injected into my spinal fluid.
now I'm just lying on my bed, watching deal or no deal and having serious backache, but the morphine and codeine keep that in check for the most part. I'm also having some ambizone [an anti-fungal medication] going through my line, because I've had a bit of a cold, which is a bit of a bitch but I'm getting better.
oh and I am bald. my hair was falling out loads and I just got sick of it so we spent an afternoon cutting my hair really short and then we shaved it. good times.
nothing else really to report at the moment, just that I'm alright and trying not to let the boredom get to me.
