Once You Pop | coffeewithkirsty

July 20, 2015. July 20, 2015. I’ve not written much for a while because of the normal life distractions. Namely in my case (also in order of importance) Harry Potter films, my birthday and the school holidays. I can say though that I completely enjoyed them and I’m not sure why it took me so long. We’ve had a couple of hospital visits recently but nothing to out of the ordinary ( is any of it normal) Some intrathecal chemo for hubby, some blood tests and some (more) talks of possibly removing his H...

Oh! Hello Sunshine | coffeewithkirsty
https://coffeewithkirsty.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/oh-hello-sunshine
July 3, 2015. July 3, 2015. Last night, lying in bed after another hot day, my hubby turned to me and said, “Sorry for being a pain in the arse”. He is a pain in the arse, yes, but not about the cancer. How can he be? It’s not like he asked for it. He still leaves his socks on the floor, teases me till I’m not sure if he’s joking anymore, but those are tiny insubstantial things that don’t even register most of the time. Is it hay fever? So instead of sitting here bemoaning the fact that I want to do all ...

Always look on the bright side. July 31, 2015. July 31, 2015. What is the matter with me! I am fed up of worrying constantly. I feel like I’m forever asking inane question’s. Are you ok? And no matter what the response basically I am the grumpy fairy coming to sprinkle s* t all over your I’m ok parade. I should be over the moon. I mean look at this. This is the hurried post-it note from hubbys consultant. It shows that his BCR-ABL is down to almost nothing.0.09%! I’m desperate for him to eat proper...

June 30, 2015. June 30, 2015. So a very uneventful trip to the hospital yesterday with not much news. No actual diagnosis of GVHD in the stomach yet.I say yet, personally I think its just a matter of time. The one thing we did get to do more of though was. Wait.yep gotta love the waiting rooms in hospitals. Hubby people watches to pass the time. I take a book.( I can’t tell you how many books I’ve consumed in the last 18 months in waiting rooms). June 28, 2015. June 28, 2015. Part of being a mum or wife ...

September 7, 2015. September 7, 2015. Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written. The summer holidays are over. The children are back at school. The exercise bike is out to combat summer indulgences! So what’s been happening since my last blog…well.not a lot really. Which I have to say is wonderful. We are still going to the hospital regulary for hubby to have his check ups. His counts continue to stay stable. His BCR-ABL is now down to 0.004%… AMAZING! I’ll also finally get round to typing up a...

https://coffeewithkirsty.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/giving-up-work-to-care
Giving up work to care. July 7, 2015. July 7, 2015. I never made a conscious decision to give up my job to care for my husband. It’s not something we planned and for a long time I was able to carry on with my job and look after him and my children. I felt that if I wasn’t there he wouldn’t be comfortable or settled. Cleaning, not just normal cleaning but super cleaning. With no immune system we have to have a special hoover, dusting is done with wipes, toilets and bathrooms have to be done every sing...

July 15, 2015. Having an hour to spare before another last min hospital appointment I decided to get the dinner ready for tonight ( there’s no telling how long we will be there! I realised that I have learnt so much from google since this all began. It’s told me what to expect with each of the different treatments and the complications that can arise. It gave me ideas on what I could cook for someone who feels sick constantly and if they didn’t work then sickness remedies to try. You know the jobs I mean...

The Fear | coffeewithkirsty

July 8, 2015. July 8, 2015. This isn’t a long post. There isn’t a lot to say apart from I’m sick and tired of this over powering all consuming fear. I worry every single second of every single day and its tiring. It makes my brain hurt. I feel like I’m waiting for the worst when I should be looking forward and planning a new future. I worry when he’s tired. I worry when he doesn’t eat or drink enough. I worry when I’m not with him and just having a brief respite with a friend (and coffee! HUGS) ) ) ).
