Its a numbers game

As with Vicki's first chemotherapy treatment, now it's all about the numbers, her blood count numbers. Her stats are a little low, and lowest being her neutrophils which are very low indeed. She's receiving some more platelets today to boost her immune system. The hope is that she starts to hold on to these this time around. It's all normal side effects of the treatment, but it's a worry none-the-less.

Vicki is quite well in herself, her main problem other than her health is boredom. Yesterday, bless her, she was reduced to playing "eye spy". Not in the usual way however. In a modern 21st century twist, she was playing over the internet with some of her friends, who clearly couldn't acutally see what she was making them guess and vice versa! I guess they could've used web cams to add the all important visual dimension to this simple parlour game!

She's not had many visitors over the last 4 days to break her monotony, so hopefully we can get some more people up to help her pass the time away.
