- Friday 8 Feb.
Home again! We had such a nice time but it is really, really nice to get the kids (who had a great time) and come home again. Over the weekend we will be getting ready (not sure how) for Monday when Simon goes to Peter Mac at 7am to get a drip thing inserted into his chest for the chemo so it doesn't kill all of the veins in his arms.

Then he will have the next chemo drug, methatrixate for 12 hours and will have to stay in hospital for about 4 nights. It seems a little scary because they will give him a lethal dose of this, then an antidote within 24 hours so it doesn't kill him. It helps to know they do this to people probably every day, but it doesn't make me feel that good! Also, we're not used to spending nights apart, so feel a bit sad about that, but thankful that we have access to these horrible but hopefully effective drugs.

We go up to Daylesford for a night and the kids stay at Grandma's. We have a really happy time eating lovely food and not being responsible for anyone! It is our first night away from the kids since we've had kids - apart from being in hospital having them!

Simon is feeling good all week and has another games night with the boys and has been able to be doing work most days.
