We have had a couple of busy days.
Yesterday morning we headed out to the Big C for our second complimentary therapy session. Phil had a well deserved relaxing back massage and I followed with a light touch reflexology foot massage – absolute bliss! I said to Rachael the therapist that I think that when I’m that relaxed, I should really do some of my visualisation because it is a great state for that but I was so lost in the luxuriousness of the massage that I just soaked it up 🙂
Phil bought me another t-shirt – this photo is for you Red!
We then hot-footed it home ready to receive our friends Liz and Mark. I met Liz and Mark in 1992 when I came back to the UK and moved to Derbyshire. They, along with Liz’s brother Richard run the Forest Garden Centre in Two Dales between Matlock and Bakewell where I worked for four very happy years.
We have kept in touch throughout the years but haven’t got together for a while so it was lovely to spend time with them both catching up and eating… just like old times! If laughter really is the best medicine, my blood tests will be perfect! Liz and Mark had seen the picture of Crystal that I posted on this blog and brought us two beautiful purple toned plants in purple pots to compliment her perfectly!
This morning I had my pre-chemo blood tests taken ready for Monday. We now have three days to get me into tip top form so that we can get the final chemo over and done with. It seems like no time at all since the first one, it’s difficult to believe that its the last one – Fantastico!
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
What a lovely photo, I am sure Crystal will enjoy having some matching flora beside her. Seeing Liz and Mark will have been a good boost before the final treatment on Monday. I must say I like the hour glass look in the new tee shirt!
Thinking of you. Love you xxx
Oooh I’m a little bit behind…my inbox is filling up so much quicker than I can cull the rubbish!
Fab t-shirt (where are all these little gems coming from!?) and, like your mum says, you look really good in it.
Dude looks like he’s doing his best pose for you all – good on him.
I hope all goes well on Monday, that your white cell count is where it should be, and that you be good to yourself and rest up.
You look so, so well and are such an inspiration.
Enjoy your weekend.
Love xxxx
