8.3.16

I tried to relax as much as i could all day after i got in from brekky yesterday. I felt really good. I knew i had a few things going on later in the day so it was time to chill.
Rang my nurse specialist to find out about my bloods and I'm pleased to say they have recovered after the last chemo session. However she hadn't had my stem cell level result but regardless of the result i don't get to stop the jabs!  
Nursey arrived at 4 ish and did the deed. I now have 9 left.
Then Phil arrived for dinner, jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, he had salad, I'm not allowed!
I was so excited. Because i was feeling ok, and it being a choir night, i decided to go to choir for a quick visit before we continued our evening with Sarah Millican.
We turned up and Phil was getting worried i was gonna make him do a solo or something. He had no need to worry!
Walked in to the hall and Chris Kim and Kelly were setting up. Chris saw me and his face lit up, it was lovely. He gave me a big hug and asked how i was. I explained we weren't stopping but i would love to do the warm up and sing Hold My Hand, one of my favourites. So upbeat and lovely lyrics. Quite apt i think.

Darling, hold my hand
Oh, won't you hold my hand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore, won't you understand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
I'm ready for this, there's no denying
I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
I'm ready for this, I need you all in
I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand

Don't wanna know
That feeling when I'm all alone
So please don't make me wait, 'cause I don't wanna break
No, I don't wanna fall
When you're next to me
Can tell I'm not afraid to be
That you don't make me wait, and never let me break
You never let me fall

Apparently he had already said that was the plan, to sing Hold my Hand, so i was really pleased. Then the choir started arriving and they all gave me hugs and lots of encouraging and supportive messages.  I felt really special and loved. 
The warm up commenced which led to fun and laughter whilst trying to nail the 1.2.3.4.5. warm up - not easy. 
Then Chris told the choir that i was here tonight for a short visit and said we were gonna sing Hold My Hand specially for me. Oh it was wonderful. Ive only had 2 weeks off but it seems like a lifetime. Singing the song with this bunch of people was so emotional but exciting. Im so glad we went. Then i waved good bye to them all, blew Chris a kiss and we were off on our next part of the evening. Sarah Millican. 
To say she was fab is an understatement. So funny. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos but i managed to get this little snap on the way out. 

Its a great place to people watch especially when you're waiting to escape at the end of the evening. There was the big bird in front of me with a lovely faux fur coat on, she was very glamorous. She had these gorgeous black shoes on that had ankle straps and were very pointy. But she had socks on with them! And her feet must have been about a 9 or 10.

I think this is the shoe or similar.........with socks! Wheres Gok Wan when you need him?

We arrived home about 10.30 and stuffed our faces with crackers, goats cheese and caramelised onion relish cos we were famished after all the laughing. 

Then Phil headed off for home and i  headed off for bed. 

Today i am sooooooooo tired. I can't believe how shattered i feel. Luckily i have no marathons to be running today. It was well worth it tho.
