I am home. I was given the all clear this morning and they found nothing which is insanely common as there are millions of types of bugs and as they couldn't narrow it down they just gave me' broad spectrum antibiotics which seem to have done the trick!!
There was a little battle between the ward boss Mr Steel (who looked like a cross between an 70s porn star with a creepy moustache and dave grohl with a rock star moustache- between you and me a strangely sexy mix- i never did get the courage up to ask if this was a movember moment or a permanent fixture to his face) and bower boss as the ward boss tried to discharge me last night and at every possibility as to be honest I was a lot more well than most people in there and I was using up precious bed space but what bower wants bower gets so i was dismissed on his orders.

I was so well that i started on the first and most lengthly section of chemo at 1h30- the R of R-CHOP so only need chop tomorrow which are 10 mins, 20 mins and 40 mins followed by though which shall not be named. I should be out of the hospital tomorrow in a few less hours than I would be. Im going to visit little Aimee as well from the ward too. She was diagnosis of lupus which I think is going to be a bit of a longer and tougher journey than me which is a big shame but at least she has an answer- the lack of answers is the most difficult.
Mum and dad have gone off to Aus tonight so will be reading this in 12 hours when they land in Singapore. As hard as it was to get on that plane for them and leave me, Amy and Alfred behind they really needed to go and move out of their rental house and into their new home which they have completely renovated whist being super parents in London for us all. They go to noosa for a bit of rest and cancer free time which they unquestionably deserve. But this means there are some vacant positions available: "secretary" "driver", "cleaner" "washer" "cook" "counsellor" and "babysitter" and thats just for me! Applications to the email above.
There is also another addition to the mccknight household, drum roll please, long brown wig!!!!! Some very old family friends (eekk not too old- oops!) from Washington extremely kindly purchased it as a present to me and I absolutely adore it. For some reason it fits much better than the other one, which I am slightly bored of because it is "so me'" and I think looks a darn lot better. In fact it has inspired me to work harder so i can employ a minion to do my hair exactly like it when it grows long enough!! So dear friends and family if you see simon giving a kiss to a long haired stunning brunette on the street, think twice before kicking him in the gonads as it that stunner may be me!!
Thank you for all your "grow blood cells grow" celebrations- they worked!! My neutrophils were the highest they've ever been at 40!!! Good work team!
Right off to be drugged now with my rohypnil (sp) for a good nights sleep and we'll speak on the other side of chemo 3.
Lots of love and kisses to you all
