10 years ago today …

10 years ago today I started high dose chemotherapy treatment in hospital. I’d been on daily chemo drugs since 1998. For auto immune disease, not cancer. Here’s something I wrote about chemo and auto immune diseases. May is Vasculitis Awareness Month. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2018/08/02/chemotherapy-and-auto-immune-diseases/

Pitch changes

Sat down to work on the accordion on my new Final Countdown arrangement, and found the opening notes all wrong. Worried I’d had another stroke, it was so off! Turns out when copying and pasting a series of bars I inadvertently lowered the originals several tones. Eek! Now fixed. I mention another stroke because Vasculitis Awareness Month and all. My disease primary cerebral vasculitis often causes strokes. I’ve been lucky to have mostly mini ones. My biggest stroke was in 2004, with a huge sudden relapse. Weakness down right side etc. Lucky it wasn’t worse.
