It's Chriiiistmaaaassss! (in the style of Mr N Holder)

Hello All!
Well, all is set for the Allo in the New Year. I'm due to go in on Friday 15th Jan, with the actual transplant to take place on the 20th. The two weeks before I go in are a mental round of appointments in Brighton and at the Marsden, for various tests and not forgetting, of course, the lovely Hickman line insertion. Mmmm...can't wait for that one! I just love having cables hanging out of my chest! It's a bit like having "Hey everyone! I've got cancer!" tattooed across your forehead. Oh well, gotta be done, I suppose. The upside of the utter bunfight of those two weeks is that they'll be such a collosal pain in the arse, that I'll be glad to get into hopsital for a bleedin' rest! At least I know a bit of what to expect this time - I know I'm not having the same treatment as last time, but I know more about ward routines, etc. Scant comfort - can you hear that strange sound? It's straws being clutched at!
I intend to blog regularly after Christmas, during the lead up to going in to hospital and also once I'm there, but (unless something really worth telling happens!) this will be my last post for 2009. I'm planning to spend Christmas in a haze of alcohol, seafood and lightly-cooked eggs (and all the other things that will be verboten, post-allo) - can't wait!
Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas and I'll be bothering you all again in the New Year.
With love and snogs under the mistletoe,
Amanda xxx
