3 Too Many

T Day = 29 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 10 Radiation & 14 Chemo to go this round.

Well – it seems when you take the max of the pain killers you can they do knock you out cold! Slept solidly through the night and actually feel less foggy and annoyed than yesterday.  I wish I could say the pain has subsided completely, but it hasn’t, though it is not as sore as yesterday – yet! I’ll take it. Downhill run now to finishing the Radiation, which will mean no more daily visits to the hospital and been locked into the mask, or the side effects of the radiation – yay!  I can do the Chemo as a 6 month run easily I think – well mentally I have already got myself over it.

Quiet morning – play with getting more ROMS (the Android operating system and hardware config) for cellphone and a new one for the tablet.  Got to play with this stuff it’s what the future is.  Also look for some apps for the tablet as well.  Pain is starting to kick in again – ah – really not another bloody day of it!

On to the stronger pain killers after brekky – as can bearly move at all   Get dressed then and off to radiation treatment at 10:10.  Has to be the worst days treatment ever!  The mask is far too tight and I had to have it removed 3 times as I couldn’t breathe and once I was about to pass out.  They alter it a little bit they can and realign it, then have to do another scan – so an extra 10 mins locked in – this is the toughest day in the mask so far.  Finally walk out – at 10:50 – 40 minutes to get it done when it’s normally about 20 at the most including a scan.  Having a bad day all round really!  Feel quite weak from it all too.

Have rest reading the paper in the sun then have some lunch as tum is not to bad at the moment – pain is up there though.  Down lunch and pain killers then off to see Paul and Helen on their farm in West Melton.  Meet the famous Little Miss Sunshine (race horse)- she returned home from the trainers this morning.  Go round and meet the other animals to – very cool setup.  Nice to have a catch up and see you both again.  Thanks for the meat too.

While we’re out West Melton we go to visit Pam & Karl as well as haven’t seen them for about 3 weeks.  Nice to have a sit down and a chat about things so a good catch up and nice to see you both.  And thanks for the veges as well.

Home and time for tea, boys showers and light the fire as bloody cold!  Quiet evening as pain not good so blog and watch TV then an earlish night I feel as if I have another day like this and Radiation is as bad tomorrow as it was today then I will need to be rested as it is going to be a draining day – get zapped at 11:10 tomorrow then have Doctor at 1:30 and a blood test in between – yay – NOT!!

Rightly folks enough for today as going to relax as best I can in front of TV then M&D time and sleep!  Have  good day/arvo/evening where ever you’re reading from.  Take care out there!

Kia Kaha.
