25th-28th July - Rest Days

Having felt quite good for a couple of days, unfortunately on the Monday I started to suffer some pretty bad flu like symptoms.  I likely picked this up from either Jacki or Lyla who had also been under the weather for a couple of days.  

It's a tough situation knowing people around you aren't 100% well and that your immune system is low, but unless you completely isolate yourself there's only so much you can realistically do to protect yourself.  Whilst we've been extremely careful in cleaning surfaces and washing hands many many times there's little that could have been done to protect against picking something up through airborne particles.  Besides, given the choice of either being isolated from Lyla or accepting the risk of infection whilst being able to have close contact and cuddles with her, it's not even a decision to think about.

Thankfully by the Tuesday I was feeling a lot better and was ready for my latest Bleomycin top up on the Wednesday.
