Friday The 13th.

Yes I know, it seems that Mike's treatment has hit every cliche in the book and it just so happens that day +13 has fallen on a Friday. Mike woke this morning with several completely bald spots and a bed full of hair.

As you can see it's not pretty nor is Mike's hair!

Mike asked yesterday if he could use the hospital's hair clippers, but no-one seemed to know where the were so I dutifully took in the ones from home.

Note the delicate patches of bare skin.

The thing that has really chuffed him is that he won't have to waste time shaving his legs for Tina Turner for a while as they too are nearly hairless.

I think you can see 3 maybe 4 hairs.

Any way I used the clippers and then Mike went off to shower and shave.

Chest hairs hanging on at present.

As you can all see Mike is feeling much better than earlier in the week.

So where are Mike's numbers I hear you cry:

WBC: 1.7
Neutrophils: 1.5
Platelets: 17



The only thing about Mike that's GREEN is his jim jams.

There was one strange thing that happened today. As I was leaving the hospital I spotted a couple of birds sitting on the road. What is so strange? Well the size of them for starters and their determination not to move even when approached by cars and people.



I'm just wondering where the other five got to and why they are almost a week late!

More snow

At 7:15 this morning it started to snow. By 8:30 the road outside my house looked like this:

The builder who is doing my bathroom usually turns up around 8:15 but as this is England it seems that the small amount of snow has delayed him. Toni is keeping a look out for me, but I'm not holding my breath.
