Hi Chirley,
You know I had MRI on my liver and heart to control if I had iron deposits after all blood transfusion (the MRI was OK at that time). They told me that I should bring a CD with a story or music that I liked, so the time spent in the camera wouldn't seem so long.
Very nice if you can come to Stockholm
! I am so afraid of infections that I only travel in my own car, don't use public WC and so on. It is good that I traveled a lot while I could - I have been in all parts of the world for example at a conference in Melbourn 1997 when they had winter. I liked that city very much.
Hope you will meet your cousin and her partner from Örebro during the fall!
Good that your platelets are so high! Surgery should be OK without platelet transfusions.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
