I change the furniture in my room.

I lash out on a very expensive leather sofa or love seat as they say around here.

I throw the old love seat out on the sidewalk. I phone 311. It is a city funded pick up old stuff service. “No problem my friend, I will send round a truck.” An hour later a truck arrives but there is a difficulty – a homeless guy is dozing on the sofa. “He has every right to chill on that love seat, man. He ain’t breaking no law.” says the truck guy. “We will come back and hope he has gone.”

My anemia treatment has entered a new phase. Steroids have been sent off for foul play. I now have infusions of stuff called Rituximab. I go for the first session yesterday. It takes 6 hours for the stuff to infuse! I have blood pressure. temperature, heart rate tested every 30 minutes.

The haematologist visits me during the infusion to give me a detailed explanation of what is happening. Good bloke.

Finally leave with a detailed dossier covering my treatment and all things infusion. I also get a free thermometer.

Amazing treatment! Thank you.
