A busy week

This week has many things planned. The main events from Vicki's point of view are that on Wednesday she has an interview for college and Thursday we have to return to the hospital for what we hope will be her last lumbar puncture and bone marrow samples.

Assuming we get an "all clear" result, the surgeons can plan to remove Vicki's Hickman line. This will be a major event in Vicki's illness as it will remove a major infection risk. Currently the Hickman line stops Vicki being very active for fear of dislodging it, so it will give her a greater degree of freedom too.

We've also had 2 visits to the optician this week, and a visit from the community nurse, so we're starting to re-discover Northamptonshire. I've also been pleasantly surprised that a tank of fuel has lasted over a week for once! First time for six months that I've been able to say that!
