Poked and Proded along the road

After a barrage of scans and tests over the last few days and enjoying the freedom of two nights in the lodge and one run with James. I am now officially an inpatient as of today. I had my Hickman line inserted and met with the whole team of Doctors, some of which visited me 3 times in the course of the day to check that I fully understood what the trial entails and to answer any remaining questions I had. Met with the dietician who was keen to prepare any kind of protein smoothie I want and wants to make my life as easy and healthy as possible during my stay.
The team of nurses and Doctors are very approachable, down to earth and brilliantly minded, so I am confident that I am in good hands.
I made sure that I got out for a walk round the grounds and sat in the court yard between the waiting. And the team know that I will be trying to do that as much as possible.....nothing like fresh air!!
However for the next two days I will be receiving some Cyclophosphamide and will be attached to an IV pole continuously for the 2 days, receiving the chemo, being hydrated and also having to pee every 2 hours to protect my bladder oh and also feeling pretty groggy. Then for 5 days after that I may regain some freedom, only having to return twice daily for another chemo.
So I am set up to watch lots of the new series "Outlander", laugh with Billy Connelly maybe do a bit of reading.
