4th June

Youngest woke up at 5.30 and decided that the whole house should be up as well as it was his birthday - trying to get him back to bed was as successful as the England football team!

Hubby had to have his kidney function test today in readiness for the chemo. The hospital called yesterday and offered an appointment today. Had to drop him off at 10am then I went to work for a few hours - there was no way that I was going to sit and watch him moan about the amount of blood they were taking from him. I met him at 2 and he still had two more tests to do. They have injected some radioactive 'stuff' in one arm and then taken bloods at hour intervals from his other arm. And I was right (as always) if you listen to him then they have taken pints off him, all the hair on his arm has been ripped off from the tape and the list goes on.... How men manage to get through a day is one of the wonders of the world.

Youngest had a good day - lots of presents but I did feel sorry for him as the eldest had training so he had to spend his birthday at the cricket club (as usual in the summer).
