Day 10 – Day Off
It was good to be able to have the day off today!!
Yesterday was just the day from HELL. Woke up at 8am to a film crew on the ward. There must have been a good 20+ of them and cables & equipment were all over the place and right outside our door. This was the second day they were on the ward!!! I was not a happy bunny………it was unsafe for Keiran to even walk to the kitchen. To add injury to insult every time I opened the bedroom door I was told to be quiet or I couldn’t leave the room as they were in the middle of filming. They were even cheeky enough to close my door when I left it ajar. So, Keiran & I felt even more like caged animals!!!!!!! They didn’t leave until just before 6pm!!! What’s worse is they are coming back in the week for another couple of days. I do hope they are not expecting us to stay in our rooms AGAIN & not have access to the cooking facilities & common area………………God help them if I get PMT!!!
To add to all the hasle going on outside the room, everything I was doing on the computer was going wrong. I couldn’t log in to MSN & I had problems with Skype. Some of my desktop Icons had disappeared……….I was so frustrated.
Then it got even worse. Keiran & I were talking to mum back home & Keiran just broke down in tears & sobbed for about 20 mins 
As you can imagine, I then went to pieces & so did my mum. We’re gonna have our good days & we’re gonna have our bad & Keiran really felt homesick. So it was a Pizza & popcorn for comfort food……..he soon picked up.
Got taught how to play Texas Holdem’……never played before but managed to win the whole bag of pistachio nuts (don’t know how) & beat Cody, Janet & Graham. Was a gd way to cheer Keiran & I up.
Today was a walk down to the Holiday Inn for lunch with some of the other families on the ward. It was really weird, as Gerry recognised us from November……even asked where Chris & family were lol!
The Director & another Dr from Singapore came in and wanted to talk to us about our last trip over and about the whole experience. Ask me questions, and I tell you no lies!!!
Gonna finish chilling for a bit before a busy day tomorrow……..Treatment #3 via IV.
Love Hayley xxxxx
