3 Too Many

Howdy all – fixed the spelling mistake that Wilson sneakily put in the title of yesterday blog – sorry about that.  He has been suitably assaulted and restrained!  Wilson is now about 95% under my control now  Thank goodness – he even helps with carrying things without dropping them, tying shoelaces in a record time, and assisting with food eating without throwing it on me or the fork on the floor.  I’ve even got brave enough to let im assists with typing a bit – thank goodness for spell checker!

On to the day – well we’ll start with the night – about 3 hours sleep – mind roaring with all sorts of deep stuff – which I won’t elaborate on today as it will not be appropriate nor helpful.

Woken then about 5:30 with a new pain out of the where the hell did the body come up with that unique one from?  It was a head pain from a tooth on the right going straight up by the ear deep into my head and felt like the dill they did the biopsy with was still going! OK – I’ll take any noisy alarm clock right now over that!  Thankfully it only lasted about 2 minutes – but F’n hell – really these bloody visitors can take their surprises somewhere else thanks. Oh well – seen as I’ve had my head rudely awoken I may as well wake up the body and head down to the gym –  good early start.  Awesome workout for 1 1/2 – feel very awake and focussed considering lack of sleep.  It’s going to be a good day.

Read an email that had come back then from an American doctor that has done research into my Tumor type, so knows its characteristics & aggressive behaviour and confirms that the treatment plan I am getting is what they would be using on me if I was their direct patient.

Nurse Candy calls and says my Chemo script is ready to be collected – I must have somehow come back on the computer system right Candy?  Wonder if the script is for me on the old system or the new one (see yesterday’s blog).  Either way – I have the name of the drugs an dthe routine – so bring it on – more than ready to deal to these 3 mo’ fo’s now!  They are starting to pee me off.  The non driving bit esp! 29 years of freedom (& only ever 2 accidents my fault) – then wham – gone!!!  Sad fact is either way I will never drive again as the risk of a seizure and therefore injury/death to others is too great   I can hear some of you now saying thank good ness he’s off the bloody roads one less petrol head!

Off to work – nice busy sort of day,  just realise how much about some systems have fallen out of the old noggin – but get thru things.  PortaCot Wednesday lunch at Cafe Raeward seen as Anzac Day tomorrow.  Manage to work through until about 2:45 – but fading big time.  Martijn offer to drop me – home you folk are all very good to me – thanks guys.

Intended to rest up for a short spell but kept trucking on. Then went to boys footy practices – never far from a footy field! Just something about it.  Went for a unsupervised wander to supermarket though – normal outing for most without thinking  – but lots of people, noise, etc actually is a bit of a struggle for me now.  It is like my sensors are on super high.  It takes a large amount of work to get thru it – but I did so very happy.

Home for tea, blog and then crash I think – as fading quicker than an Auckland Blues attack   Hang on at least I have an attack – sorry Blues fans!!
