[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 364843, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, I agree, our kids deserve a great deal of the credit for getting where they do in their education. I envy you that pool and your summer heat. However, I'm glad I'm going through this treatment in winter, my skin is beginning to break out in tiny blisters like little sweat pimples and hot weather would make it a lot worse. TM, sounds like a busy day for you tomorrow. Here's hoping it is also rewarding. SFR, sorry you're having to deal with high humidity. We get that a lot here in Sydney, especially in summer. Our roses have permanent black spot. On hot days it can be like stepping into a sauna. We've had a quieter day today. I still had my early morning treatment than it was time to see the doctor. And at last - I got the professor, not the underling. So I got some real answers. Basically - no need for concern, but it was good to have ruled out some nasty possibilities. He confirmed that I've got some mild folliculitis in my skin but this is to be expected and it could be a lot worse. I'm doing well. After that I had to see the shoulder specialist (who took ages!) who thankfully was only in the next building. We finally got home just before midday. difficult child 3 is still struggling to finish an overdue assessment task (two more almost due, we'll have to get an extension on them as well). The shoulder doctor wants me to have another couple of injections into my shoulder and the oncologist has said that's OK, I can go ahead and have that done. Considering the daily undressing and dressing which husband is usually there to help me with at home, but not at the hospital - I think it would be good to have pain reduced for the last few weeks of treatment. Tomorrow we are dropping in on easy child 2/difficult child 2 to drop off a bookcase for them, and collect our DVDs. She also has some potatoes for us, they were given too many (her mother in law trying to keep them supplied with food while times are tough).

After we get home tomorrow, husband has to see the local doctor for his next rabies shot. mother in law is still upset about it, is getting increasingly clingy and anxious, wanting us with her as much as possible but also not wanting to wear us out.
