A bit shaky

Another side effect of the chemo has started to kick in over the last couple of days. Celia now is quite shaky on her feet and has fallen over a few times. This is apparently a relatively common side effect caused by losing the feeling of the nerves in the feet. It was a bit of a shock for everyone when she got out of bed today and immediately collapsed in a heap on the floor. Still, she got up and on with the day and was actually a little more happy than of late. Granny and Grandpa reported that she didn't sleep at all today and was alert enough to watch lots of TV. She even said she liked her new bob. I never thought that I would be grateful to hear that my children spent all day watching TV but we're living by new rules now and just making them up as we go along.
Countdown to the next big milestone is on now. One week to go to Day 29 when we enter the next phase of treatment and perhaps learn a little about what is in store for us in the next 6 months.
