Inside House Pictures

Hello All,
let's take a walk through our new house briefly. Now, these are not good quality pictures. Our camera has had it I think. I mean, I tried SO hard to not shake while taking these pictures and all of them ended up blurry. You will be able to see they are blurry but on the computer when I load them up they are SO blurry and look terrible. I am frustrated. I can never get good shots. We need a new camera because I don't think it is my ability anymore...it is the camera. Anyway. We start with the sunken lounge. You walk in the front door and this is the lounge on the left........the wall looks pinkish in the photo but it is no way pink. It is a deep, rusty apricot colour. Our room will look different again when we purchase our new lounge suite. We are holding on to these ones for someone else. They are not our lounges. There is a nice open, gass fireplace...and then a step up to the dinning room...... This is blurry...oh well...you can see it steps up to the dinning room....a couple of photos...then leads into the kitchen....

Oh....here is the kitchen. I will take a photo when there is no clutter and no dishes as we had only had dinner a short while ago and have not yet cleaned up....so the kitchen usually looks a lot nicer. It is, however, an older kitchen than our other house and we will re-do it sometime.

Ah yes...back to the dinning room which leads into the kitchen.

See how it leads into the kitchen....haha!

Ah yes...the view from the kitchen...once again...a lot of clutter still...I will take photos when there is no clutter. This is Isaac's play room here with all his toys...and the piano. It has 3 doors leading off of it...the laundry, the spare room and Isaac's room.

Isaac's room. He is actually asleep so I quickly took a brief photo but didn't want to disturb him. He wants his room painted light blue...we would get him some new curtains and stuff probably and put up all his winnie the pooh stuff again to make him feel more at home.

This is a terrible photo...our house really is more stunning than these photos...but this gives you an idea of the colour of our bathroom which I like and is quite stunning in real life....

Going down the hallway from the kitchen and the play room. The bathroom comes off the side here and the door down the end it the main bedroom...sorry no pictures on here of that tonight.

This is the enterance way at the door at the front again...so we did a big circle really....

Sorry about all the gaps in the photos..I am slack tonight. I will get better photos...but at least this gives an idea. It is a nice house. I still miss my old one......we have tenants chosen for that house now.

The bone marrow results. The people at the IMVS transplant lab have now looked at my slides. They are confused by my marrow and are not willing to give me a count of my blasts just yet. They said my marrow is so confusing and different with the other FA cells that it is hard to tell what are the normal cells of FA which are abnormal cells and what are blasts.....this has always been the way with my marrow and why I insist on this lab doing the count. So, they are pulling up all my slides of the last number of years to compare because they need to get a feel of how my marrow is...what is "normal" for me so they count correctly. At least they are not just counting with what they "think" could be blasts but comparing and getting familiar with my past slides again. This should enable them to give me a more accurate count. It has only taken them 5 weeks to get to this (ahhhhhhhh!!!!!) I have an appointment with this haematologist to discuss how inappropriately this was done. The slides should have been looked at 5 weeks ago and not left til now...of when they are confused and finally are doing as I ask...frustrating but they are taking me seriously. It is not surprising about my marrow...I have always had marrow that looks strange like this.

It is my birthday in a week and I will be 30. I made it to 30 with FA!!!! Wow...this calls for a celebration so on the 16th May I am having a party that is formal wear in a cottage in the hills. Girls are wearing evening gowns and men...suits with bowties or ties. I have a new dress and it is beautiful. I feel like a bride again. I will post pictures. It will be a grand even to celebrate my life. The meal is made up of nice finger food equal to a 4 course meal! I feel like I am attending a ball in my dress!

Love you all,

Charisse
