It looks like I'm stuck here in Loxley ward for a few of
days at least.

Loxley ward
I’ve just learned that I'll be in overnight and over the
weekend. I may be moved back to Toghill which would be much nicer but not home
until my count is high enough which will be Monday or Tuesday. This will be for
a few days (hopefully my weekend with the girls) then back for round 2 of chemo
on the Monday. As well as my white blood
count being low (the immune thing), I also have a very low platelet count (its
5 when they like to keep it over 10 or ideally 20). This explains my nosebleed
which I'm slowly developing. To rectify this, I'm having a platelet transfusion
shortly which will be a drip for about an hour. After which, they'll test my
blood again to see if I need another one and hopefully at some point my
nosebleed will stop. The platelets are separated from someone's blood and look
like a brown sticky/honey kind of gloop.
