3 Too Many

Day 24 of 26 Treatment Free = 2 days till T day 2 (2 days till treatment round 2 Chemo only).

Restless sleep, but OK.  Get up at 6:15 and head for the spin bike again – steady on 2 days in a row is 1 day off a habit!  Manage to do 5.2kms in 15mins today.  Legs more wobbly than yesterday – but still I did something.  Love the way it wakes you up and starts the day.  Have brekky then and take the now reducing fuzzy drugs and  steroids. Well there goes the great start to the day – cloudy comes in.  Not as bad as it used to be but there is some none the less.

Off to work – enjoy the walk into work from the Art Gallery end of Gloucester Street.  The peaceful hum of a city been deconstructed – something you just get used too now sadly.   Actually remember when some of the buildings were getting constructed so funny in a way now looking at them in their pealed down state, as in I can think back 24 years an imagine looking at the nearly completed at the time Price Waterhouse Coopers building – minus the smashed windows.  It was 1988 roughly.  Work is good – manage to have another productive day – though my head is also having a productive day with generating headaches   Take pain killers but still not brilliant.  They tire you out.  Head off about 1:30 as need to rest cause I’m fading.  Get home for a rest for a bit – just feet up but it is enough to recharge the energy levels. Head off then to get the Chemo script ready for Friday and to stop by the house to check other walls colours to make sure they are correct.  The contractors have found out the painters switched the lids on the paint pails by accident and as the  colours are a 1/4 tint off it was noticed.  A 1/4 tint doesn’t sound much but it is when the sun hits it.  All good with the house – they are fixing the wrong rooms.

Back home then for some more relaxing and dinner before heading out to the Old Vicarage to catch up with the footy lads after their practice. Get a call from the camp leader that the boys are on – Jacob has come down with a vomiting bug and wants to come home.  One of the camp folk are heading back tonight so they are going to drop him off on the way.

George picks me up and head off for drinks – well Ginger Beer.  Head still hurting on and off but ok enough to not worry me. Nice to be out and having a catch up with many of the guys that I haven’t seen for a while.  Head home then and arrive at the same time Jacob is getting dropped off.  Thanks for the lift to the pub George and the jokes.  Jacob looks like crap so off to bed to sleep it off.

Time for blog, M&D and then off to sleepsville as want to be more energetic tomorrow and I have dosed up on pain killers for the head.  Hope everyone else has had a great day/arvo/evening too.  Keep smiling – it makes people wonder what you’ve been up too

Kia Kaha.
