The dressings are off her hands but she can't straighten them so any typing is difficult and painful and with the aid of a stylus.
She got more antibiotics at the end of last week just to make sure the infection has cleared. Now its just a case of waiting to see what’s next. The next onco appt is 14th.
She’s been given some more steroids and hopefully they will help with the mouth ulcers as well.
Typically, she’s ‘getting really annoyed with myself not being able to do anything’. She did get out with her daughter but couldn’t hold her stick.
May says she hopes everyone is ok.
I think we’re all hoping you’ll be OK too, May. (((())))

May rang yesterday evening
This amazing lady was happy, bright and cheerful. She can now hold the phone again though it will take some time for her nails to grow back.
She was asking after all of you, especially Val.
I told her not to come back here yet as she had to write her last email with a stylus and given up when she started bleeding onto the computer :shock: What is she like :roll:If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
