Its done and dusted for another 100 days!

Hi everyone
i had my bone marrow test yesterday (big needle in my pelvis). It was pretty good all things considered...because i have VRE, i was last on the list so i had to wait yonks and yonks - until 12.30pm...it didnt turn out too bad though because mum was able to give me boobs at 9am and a sip of water at 10am so i didnt feel mega hungry...
i was able to pretty much sleep from around 10.30 until just before 12 so i didnt have to wait too long after that thank goodness, but boy did i enjoy my boobie juice after it all!
we had a really quiet day overall, even though it was dads birthday, grandads birthday and mum and dads wedding anniversary. mum and dad got pizza for tea (i enjoyed a bit of pineapple off the top!) and we were all in bed pretty early (i was a bit anxious yesterday and got mum and dad up around 5am!) so we were all well and truly ready for bed.
am heading across to our friends house to get some sleep for the day, so it will be fun to explore a new house and new area (and new places to walk!)
we will probably do that for the remainder of our stay here in melbourne, coz as much as we love the guys who are building the units (they really are a nice group of blokes who ALWAYS say hello to us as we walk to and from hospital), they are a loud bunch.
we havent really heard anything about our tests, all i know is they took heaps of blood from me yesterday for special tests. So hopefully monday will shed some light on how i am doing and how the new mojo is going.
I have to go to the hospital again tomorrow for some more blood tests to make sure the level of anti rejection drugs is right for me (hence my groovy eyebrows and moustache!). i think that happens twice a week at the moment.
anyhoo...best fly and will keep you posted...
love to all
