Here Comes the Sun...

Everybody sing along now, "Here comes the sun, little darling. Here comes the sun, and I say: It's ALLright, ta ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra...
You can tell from my new sunglasses and the smile on MY FACE that the sun has finally arrived in good ol' Sutton! And I'm not just talking about the hot star! I feel much better than I did when I wrote my last blog entry. Actually I want to thank ALL those who commented and emailed and called to support me and give me an extra push. I also want to thank those who called to scold me and shake me into the 'Real Reality', which is that I really have come very far and I thank God (and Potter) everyday for that. I am also very lucky to have family and friends supporting me and Wiss and Zee beside me guiding me through it, even if Zee has the misfortune to experience some hardships along the way. Issokay, we will pull through. We will keep walking side by side, and we will overcome ALL hurdles, God willing.

For those who were wondering, the test results came out today. They were excellent, hamdillah. 100% donor cells. Way to go Fadi!!! Yaaaayyy!!! The doc is very happy with me and has stopped 2 more medications AND has allowed me to go home!!! (Oh and he assured me that I will no longer be fertile, so hurrah for unprotected sex!!! Yaaaayyyy!) (Now, you didn't really need to know that! Sorry, mom, dad!!!)

But that'll have to wait a little bit, cuz after a couple of hours on the phone with Home Office, I finally withdrew my application and asked them to post back my passport cuz that was the only way I could get back home in this century! I lost the fee, toz. I will have to get a visa for my next visit from Beirut, baseeta. Hopefully it'll go well and ALL will be fine. So, fingers crossed, I am hoping to be back in "Ten working days"!!!! (mind you, just to add to my misery, Monday is bank holiday, and thus doesn't count! {that's for those of you who have started calculating dates!!}) Aiming for mid May, people, ceteris paribus. (is that how they spell it?)

On a brighter note, Zee is also feeling much better, habibti. Her counts are better today, and she is hyper hyper! She even ate the eggplant dish I cooked for us for lunch!

Now, before I retire to my highly uncomfortable bed, I just really want to thank those 'fans' or 'groupies' or 'newly-acquired friends' whom I have never met (or haven't seen in ages) and who have been supporting me throughout this journey. Your comments have made a big difference in my fight against this horrible, merciless illness! Thank you. I love you ALL!!!!!!!

nighty night,
mwah
