Melbourne here we come!


Yes, we've been given the all clear to head home. November 3rd looks like the date we will leave. The hospital fees have been well above what we expected so the chance to get back in case of any future complications is something we have to take advantage of now. Sam has organised a raffle to raise more funds, check out the web site for details. We have been very fortunate with the donation of prizes. People have been very generous yet again.

I have a week of tests coming up including a final bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday. Still not allowed to eat so hoping as the diarrhoea has decreased, they will allow me back on solids this week. We meet the nutritionist again tomorrow so fingers crossed.

We will miss Seattle, it's a great city surrounded by great parks and views and filled with friendly people, though looking forward to seeing the house and the dogs again, though not the mess they've no doubt created in the back yard!

Current Reading: 'The Honourable Schoolboy' by John Le Carre (this may take some time)
Current Listening: 'Forth' by The Verve (10 years in the waiting!)
Currently Eating: A BLT (in my dreams!)

Congratulations!
Glad to hear the news. Hope you get to have the real BLT soon. Please report back on how wonderful it will taste.
